FEAR OF THE WEST.

II Is a notable fact that Chairman
Hitchcock. OF the republican national
COMMITTEES. has given out a statement
to the effect that he intends to make
the west solid for Taft By waglng a
vigorous campaign. That he should
be so deeply concerned over the west
Is the significant part OF his announce
ment. The west il normally repub-
licaH and to put chip on his shout
der at this time shows a great deal or
concern over the situation In the
west. Probably he remembers that
the west IL friendly 10 Bryan. and
II 1t Is to be kept In the
republican column vigorous work
II necessary. We believe that
Idaho will prove one OF the
states Of the west which Hitchcock
cannot keep In the Taft column. The
tide IN this state Is already sweeping
toward Bryan and viii continue to do
30 until election day. The people OF
the west have not forgotten the great
friendship OF the Nebraskan toward
them In the past and Bryan has per-
aonal popularity In the west that
cannot be overcome. His PERSONAL
ity Is pleasing 70 the people of the
west, who measure a man by his
real worth. They size him up on his
merits. and Bryan meets their meas
nTe for fearless honesty and force OF
character. The freedom OF the west
breeds people who admire the fear
less frankneas OF men like Bryan.
They admire the man who has opin-
ions and dares TO express them.
There IL dash and a daring about
such characters that inspires conn
dence and with HIS added years OF
experience Bryan may be counted 4
safe man 10 place az the head OF a
great nation like this. The people
OF the west know these things and
Chairman Hitchcock viii find II a
bigger Job than he can handle to
make the west solid for Taft. The
people Of the west think for them
