The visit Of Judge w. H.. Taft 70 South

enough to last over for days and be
the chief topic of conversation throughout
the city. The republicans are wearing more
faces than ever before.
DR.. II. w. slabaugh said: IL was much
pleased with the address of Mr.. Taft, and
especially the fearless way in which he took
hold OF and explained his court decisions
on the labor question. His language was
so clear and simple a child could grasp all
its meaning. and yet It was torceful and
fearless. 1t is bound to nave a good effect
here. In spite of the garbled reports and
falsificatlons Of the democratic press, which
pretending to be fair, dared not quote cor
rectly a single statement of the Judge, the
meeting was a great success.
Bryan, I am willing to grant, might be
a conservative man II he were elected, but
II we can judge Of the men he appeals to.
and the men who most prominently follow
him among the workmen, / submit that
they are a dangerous following. They are
men blown about by every wind Of doctrine
and led easily to extremes"
