"TWenty-four Votes for
Campbell" Said Deuker

Nimrod Johnson, city treasurer, was
one of the big Richmond delegation
who attended the Chicago republican
convention. He witnessed the roof
raising demonstration given President
Roosevelt and he states that it was the
most inspiring scene that he ever wit
messed.
Il was as crazy as everybody else in
the coliseum-hollereda and yelped like
a combination of Canadian wolf and
a Sioux Indian-but I was not as bad
as Henry Deuker. That man was so
overcome with excitement he imagined
he was at the district convention
where Judge Barnard was nominated.
Right in the most exciting part of the
excitement Deuker jumped to his feet
and yelled out, Wayne county gives

Here is the man whose personality
is to become as familiar to all his
countrymen as that of Theodore
Roosevelt.
William Howard Taft during the
last year has been presented to the
people by the pen of almost every one
of our writer's who are best able to
estimate men. Yet the peoples DEM
ocratic wish to know and know init
mately the individual character of a
nominee for the presidency makes
them anxious and eager for more
knowledge of him.
The way to get it is to see and talk
to the man himself. Each one of his
estimators has called Taft simple, sim
cere and strong. Each has given him
modesty and self-restraint. Each has
spoken of his approachableness. of his
big hearty laugh and his great heart.
These are hard characteristics to
write on without producing an impress
sion that the writer is OVERRIDING 1t a
bit. Yet a meeting with Mr.. Taft is
convincing proof that the error has not
been on the side of exaggeration.
Mr. Taft does not give one the in
stantaneous impression of himself that
Mr.. Roosevelt does. The effect comes
more slowly First, you are surprised
to find that this man who is called to
so exceptional a place, is so like SO
many other people that you know.
There is no Olympian abstraction
about him. He is not thinking Of Gu
ba or the Philippines when he is shak-
ing hands with you. On the contrary,
there is the same free direct relation
PRODUCTION to a man in your own Of
fee.
IL you have known Mr.. Taft before,
you get a sounding Hello" that bids
fair to become ,as well known as the
more familiar delighted" II not.
your welcome is more gentle, but you
feel that you will be sure to get the
Hello next time. The fact that you
occupy the entire attention of the man
makes you certain of it. For there is
a solid substratum of honesty beneath
the whole proceeding that removes 1t
utterly from the routine political
hand-shaking. You like him and you
can't help it.
1t is a thousand to one that you will
be surprised at the physique OF VIII

toons, but the photographers, have
made us all believe that Taft is fat
The same phenomenon is true oi
Roosevelt, and in a lesser degree OF
the kaiser and King Edward, for II
is a survival of the heroic tradition to
add physical size to our idea OF the
great ones of the earth
The man who seems surely destined
to enter the white house next March
is not fat He is of large build. but
his movements are exact and certain
He does not hoist himself from one
foot to the other as he walks, but

places his name in nomination he will
get beat" Just how true he was
speaking the sheriff did not realize
at the time. Hanly did place Fair
banks name before the convention
and nothing that he could say won
any favors for the vice president.
Meredith was asked his opinion Of
the attitude Of the Indiana delegation.
He said: We'll the Indiana ship of
state went down in a beautiful dive
exhibiting splendid form and the last
thing to be seen above the waters as
she sank was Frank Hanly's flowing
locks. The sheriff said he had a
great time but could not stand the
pace. He asserted 1t was evident ev-
erywhere that Taft was the choice Of
the party.

ship that knows where II wants to go
and intends to get there.
In fact his frame gives you your first
sense of his power and his eyes back 1t
up and drive it home. There Is a
great deal in those eyes. There is not
only the frankness and kindness that
goes with their deep blue. but there is
settled purpose and wisdom and won
derful "trustworthiness." They begin
to make you understand why the re-
public has come to hold the man NOR
ally and mentally capable of perform
ing the high duties Of fits chief execu-
tive.
This understanding gains force as
you talk with Mr.. Taft. His voice
has a good masculine rumble to 1t, and
his words are not slouched or slurred
over. Each sounds as IL 1t meant
something, and when you think IL over
afterward you find that each does its
part in the exact expression of an
idea. Not that Mr.. Taft's diction is
stilted; it is far from that, falling cas-
lily into the vigorous and picturesque
terms which we Americans have Gre
ated for ours own particular use. But
the coming president shows in his
speech the intelligent mind that knows
word value as a scholar. a jurist and
stateman must know them.
You will find, too, as the talk pro-
crosses that the kindliness and gentle
ness in Mr.. Taft's character is not
weakness. He will not be hard or
bitter, nor will he fly out at you and
try to cram his opinions down your
throat. On the other hand, he will
tell you bravely and squarely what he
thinks, and he will not permit for
moment any misconception OF his
views or any slight, however easy to
pass over, upon the principles which
he believes to be the most important
thing in his life.
This trait Mr.. Taft showed us all at
the Boston banquet, where he refused
to SIT silent, as lesser man would
have done. under the tactless insinua-
tions which New York jester sought
to make against Theodore Roosevelt
and the moral awakening OF the Amer
ican people. His uncompromising
courage in this direction Taft never
fails to display, and your assurance
of this characteristic, together with
your consciousness OF his undoubted
ability are the most important i'm
pressions that you will take away
with you.
For after all what the people want ID
president who will see to 1t that
there is no turning back in the poll
cies which the nation has marked out
for itself. A talk with William How
ard Taft must convince any open-mind-
ed American that here is man firm
enough to prevent any recession and
mentally able in behalf of the people
to meet on an equal ground the mas
ter minds of politics. or business and
of the world of finance.

Not Within Power of CONNER
ciaI Organizations to Hold
Westcott Carriage Conn.,
pany in the City.
CLUBS HAD NOTHING TO
OFFER OTHER THAN LOT.
Also Impossible to Raise
Enough Money in Short
Length of Time, to Meet An
derson's Big Offer.

1t is now an assured fact that the
Westcott Carriage company will trans
fer its plant from this city to Ander-
son, Ind. where the business mems
club of that city have offered the COM
pany a bonus of s45, 900, a factory site
and lots valued at $4,000.
H. L. Ashley, secretary and treas
urer of the company, went to An
derson this morning and before he
returns from there this evening it is
expected that he will have closed the
deal to locate the plant in that city.
If the deal is closed work on ere citing
the factory building in Anderson will
start a week from Monday as it will
be necessary for the company to va
cate it's quarters in this city by the
first of October, when the American
Seeding Machine company takes over
the factory building to be used as
quarters for the Shortsville, N. Y,
branch, which is to be consolidated
with the local branch.
AS soon as the Westcott Carriage
company closes the deal with the An
derson parties, it is expected that it
will close the deal for the sale of its
local plant to the American Seeding
Machine company. 1t is stated that
the Westcott company will receive
for this building and site in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
Give up Efforts.
All efforts of the local business Or
ganizations to keep the Westcott Car
riage company in this city has beer
abandoned because they were in no
position to offer any inducements to
remain here. 1t is probable that a
factory site could have been offered
the company but it would have been
absolutely impossible to raise in a
short length of time a large enough
subsidy to induce the company to re

by his installing telephones in the Vat
lean, by advocating an athletic carni-
val, by receiving his old gondolier from
Venice, although the humble man
could not don the ordinary black worn
by those received in audience by the
popes; by his treatment of his peasant
sisters and in a hundred other little
but significant ways that have en-
deared him to the common people Of
the world. He never has had much
money, receiving as patriarch of Ven
ice only $2,40O per year, most of which
modest income he gave away in char
ity. Before becoming pope it was usu-
al for him not to have a cent in his
pocket, having given everything away.
When once called to Rome he had to
borrow money from a bank before he
could even buy railroad ticket at the
modest rates that prevail in Italy.
Afterward he was in perfect fever, it
was said. until this trifing debt was
paid.

No Nepotism In His Career.

The pope's name is Giuseppe Sarto
and his only brother is postman and
keeper of a small tobacco shop Three
of his sisters are married, one to an
innkeeper and the others to men in
similar stations of life. His other
three sisters kept house for him until
he went to the Vatican, and now he
has hired them humble quarters in the
vicinity, where they will feel at home
with their peasant dress and manners.
While he is exceedingly fond Of his
family, there is not the slightest trace
of nepotism in his career With all
the places he has to give away, no

nOPE Plus x, who is now cele-
~ brating the fftieth anniversary
III of his induction into the parish
priesthood, is very much of a
democrat. He is the first pope of peas
ant parentage in century and half.
His chief characteristics during long
life have been simple goodness, mod
esty and charity. In his younger days
he often went hungry in order that he
might give to others. Since master Of
the Vatican he has shocked the at
tendants by his transformations man
ners and the cheerful way in which he
disregards outworn forms. For hum
dreds Of years no pope would allow
any one else to eat with him, but this
pope eats with his secretaries or any
one else that pleases him. 1t has also
been an immemorial custom for no one
to sit in the presence Of the holy father
except cardinal, but Plus x. has his
private callers sit in a chair beside
him instead of kneeling, as in the old
days. He has abolished other undemo-
cratic customs, such as being carried
in the sedia gestatoria to and from the
Sistine chapel. II shall never volun-
tarily get into that box" he remarked
smilingly as he prepared to walk.
