TAFT WITHOUT A
PEER SAYS ROOT
To Carry Out Mckinley and
Roosevelt Policies.
Dwelt Upon Issues i'm State of Ohio
declares Bryan
Theorist.
HE SPEAKS IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati. Oct. 29.-Secretary o.
State Root spoke TO several thousand
persons at Music Hall here. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the Citizens Taft club. In parade
which preceded the meeting above
five thousand men participated,
Root was introduced by Robert
Reynolds, president of the Citizens
Taft club.
Root in his speech first took up
the alleged dissensions in Ohio, the
Foraker matter being first, the negro
question second and the liquor ques-
ton, a purely local issue, third. He
urged that II these discussions ex-
listed as reported they did, they
should be laid aside for the greater
duty of American citizenship. Either
one OF the things which affected
these three elements were but drops
of water in the greater issues which
made up the campaign.
The climax of the speech was a re-
view OF the public career Of Taft and
this was received with the greatest
enthusiasm by the audience. He de-
clared that Taft was better pre-
pared than any other man to succeed
TO the presidency and to carry out
the policies OF Mckinley and Roose-
welt As an executor and as an ad-
ministrator he declared Taft was with
out peer.
Great bits OF sarcasm were hurled
at the Bryan theories as he took
them up in turn:
He said: "shall we elect inefficient
men to our legislature. and depend
upon the initiative and referendum?
Shall we guarantee our bank depositsI

THE LAW AND THE PklMAhf

The Louisiana Supreme Court
has finally passed upon the st;
Charles parish cases and decided
IN favor of those who received a
majority of the votes. The count
ING out and counting in business
which it was proposed to incorpor-
ate into the primary law has been
effectually disposed of, and we
are not likely to be troubled fur
ther with anothercase of this kind.
On another point the Supreme
Court was emphatic, that contests
of this kind over primary noml.la-
tions are of the most summary
character, the law allowing a very
short time for judicial considera-
ton ard requiring them to be
passed on by the courts at once.
If the law in regard to registra-
ton and other election officers
could be madeas summary as the
proceedings oyer primary nomin-
ations, the voters would have
cause for capitalization, for there
would be an easy way of. curing a
cooked-up registration and thus
assuring an honest election. But
while the primary cases have all
been passed on, the registration
cases drag their slow length
along" and it seems probable, in
consequence of the laws delays,
that two primary elections will be
held under a registration against
which serious charges of contain
ing the names of hundreds of
dead votes have been made, and
which charge the Governor him.
self thought so grave that he re-
moved two registrars.
Nothing has yet been heard of
any charges made against election
commissioners at the recent pri-
mary. There is little reason to
doubt that the law was violated in
a number of instances, in most
cases probably innocently. There
was some doubt as to it's exact
intent and meaning at first, and
much confusion was to be ex-
expected at the first trial of a
new law. Now, hSwever, that
it has been tried, is better under
stood and has deem passed on
by the courts, there is no excuse
for mistakes, and violations of
the law can no longer be excused

Washington, D. c., Feb. 90
A majority of the people of Wash
ington believe that President
Roosevelt will eventually be re-
nominated, not that most of them
want him to be, but because they
think he is scheming for a third
term. | think they are mistaken,
though the fact that so many in
fuential politicians from the West
and South are constantly coming
to Washington apd declaring that
their people wasn't Roosevelt, and
most Of these political visitors ba
ing patronage dispensers, in 4
measure justifies the belief thai
there is some occult influence at
work to bring he Presidents re-
nomination about. At the pres
ent time neither the Roosevelt,
nor the reacAonary faction of the
Republican party have a majority
of the delegates to the convention
in sight. Contesting delegations
will be so numerous that there will
undoubtedly be a prolonged dis
pute about the seating of some of
the rivals and the vote may be
very close on deciding who are en-
titled to seats. Taft appears to be
gaining ground and as all of the
enormous power of the President
and the Office holders is being ex-
erted for him, it would be a polit5
ical miracle if he should be unable
% secure the nomination. Which
ever Republican faction wins, I
expect claims to be made of cor
rupt influences having been used
to secure delegates, either by di-
rect payment for votes, or by
promises of official positions.

Washington Correspondence
Continued from page s.

The political fight in the Re-
publican ranks wages as fast and
furious as ever. The latest charge
brought by the Taft people
is that the anti-administration
forces have purchased quantities
of space in the patent insides OF
certain newspapers, contrary to
the wishes of the editors and
proprietors of these papers, and
are using this space to villify
Roosevelt and Taft. William
Allen White, who has always en-
joyed a good reputation for YER
acity and fearlessness, is the man
who prefers this charge.
The Brownsville affair is about
to be brought to a close. Sen
ator Foraker has been putting off
the evil day as long as possible,
both because he hoped thus to
gain favor with the Southern Re-
publicans, who are chiefly of the
colored persuasioGk and because
he hated to have tneseountry wit
ness the fact that after all this
tedious and expensive Tnyesti-
cation he had been able only to
convince the large majority of the
Military Affairs sommittee that
the negroes "shot up" the town
of Brownsville. Of course the
investigation has not been very
profitable to Mr.. Foraker person
ally for all last summer, when the
committee was sitting, Mr.. For
aker was living in his magnificent
home in Washington and yet he
was charging the Government
SIS a day as hotel bill. This is a
fact which the astute Senator
from Ohio did not expect to be-
come public, but che fact is clearly
set forth in a public document
which gives an iteA1ized list of the
expenditures paid out of the
contingent fund of the Senate.
The present indications are that
two Senators out of a total men,
bership of thirteen will say on the
final vote that they believe the
negroes innocent. They are For
aker and Buckley. Two, Dupont
and Scott, will probably say that
the guilt of the negroes shas not
been proved, while nine will say
that they have no doubt of the
guilt of the negroes.
