Things Political
TAFT's LAST RESORT.

Ohio Democrats are glad that
Mr.. Taft Is going to take ithe
stump 1t is an admission on the
part of his managers that his case
is desperate and tdat he must do
somlthing desperate to stem, II
possible, the tide of overwhelming
defeat that is bearing down upon
him.
Realizing that air Taft was no
match for Bryan as public speak
er, that he lacks ability to discus
with Mr.. Bryan the issues before
the people this year, mis- managers
thought at first TO assume an air
OF "dignity" by Initiating the front
porch campaign of Mckinley in 1896.
His managers and-the g. o. p. press
had great deal 10 say about it be
ing pndignifed for candidate for
president to run around over the
country TO catch votes. Now Taft
Is going to be Ihdignihed and run
around over the country to catch
votes, II possible,t because the peo-
pie were not rushing to his broth
er's front porch in Cincinnati with
volur tary promises to deliver the
votes in November.
Mr.. Bryan has smoked out Mr..
Taft several times this campaign.
First he smoked out Mr.. Taft and
put. him on the defensive on planks
which the Chicago convention voted
down.
He smoked out Mr.. Taft on the
election of Senators, to the extent
that Mr.. Taft said he twas "per-
sonally inclined" bu; he did not
think 1t party issue. Mr.. Taft
would be very glad TO create that
impression since his convention
voted down the proposition, and the
Democratic convention adoHted It.
Mr. Bryan smoked out Mr.. Taft
on the guaranteed bank issue, ON
which Mr.. Taft echoes the views of
is brother. and former Governor
Henrlck that 1t would be dangerous
to make banks safe.
Mr.. Bryan smoked out Mr.. Taft
on the tariff, to the extent that Mr..
Taft eagerly promised to call a spe-
cial session of congress, If elected,
TO Trsvise" the tariff without stat
ing whether he favored revising 1t
up, or reforming II down.
Now Mr.. Bryan has smoked out
MIR. Taft again, and Taft will take
the stump as last resort to bolst-
er up totterlng and losing cam
paign.
This is good news TO Democrats.
II Mr.. Taft continues TO make as
many blunders as he has done al
ready he will maize certain the de-
feat that stares him In the face, as
Blaine did in 1884.

From the Delavan (WiS) Republican.
The Kirk-RectOr Wedding.

An important nuptial event of the
week was the marriage at nine
o'clock Saturday morning, May %,
in Christ church, of Miss Mabel
Esther Rector to Rev. William
Chester Kirk of the Trinity church,
at River Falls, Wis. The ceremony
was performed by the rector, Rev.
John White, and was witnessed by
a number of the intimate friends of
the young couple.
The bride was simply and prettily
gowned in white, and carried a
shower bouquet of lilies of the valley;
the couple were unattended and en-
tered the church during the rendi-
ton of the Mendelssohn wedding
march; a wealth of spring bloom
greeted them at the altar, beautiful
ly and appropriately decorated for
the occasion. During the ceremony
a selection for holy matrimony from
the church hymnal, 90, perfect
love-" was softly played by the or
ganist, and as the couple left the
church the Tannhauser march was
rendered. Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk left at
noon for brief trip, and expect to
be settled in the rectory at River
Falls in June; during the interval
Mrs. Kirk will spend the time with
De1avan friends. This happy event,
and the consequent removal of the
bride to another home takes her out
from a devoted circle of friends,
where she has been an earnest and
Jealous worker, but she enters an
other useful field of labor with all
the requirements, both mental and
spiritual to meet the demands upon
the rector's wife of a thriving par
ish.
The groom lived in Delavan dur
ing the years of his boyhood and
has many friends here who have
noted with pleasure and pride, his
advancement in his chosen work.

The city will soon be alive with
the many school ma ans who have
been away from home the past year
teaching the young ideas of other
towns "how to shoot" They will
be welcomed back from their various
places of duty with cordial feelings
on the part of their friends and the
public at large. River Falls, has
sent a goodly number of excellent
teachers into the country at large
and many good reports have come
of their devotion to their calling.
Possibly this may in measure &C
count for the very considerable
number who have taken schools OF
their own in a smaller but very
important way.
