PosTERlTY VOTE FOR BRYAN.

There is a fellow on William Allen
Whites Emporia Gazette who writes
verse in prose William Allen him
self could do no better The other
day this poet had a thought and here
is how he put it into words:
Some folks say it is my duty, for
the Peerless one 10 vote if he isn't
chosen captain, our old ship won't
stay aflCat; but a chap gets tired vot
ing for the man without a peer; can
always vote for Bryan, 50 I'll vote for
Taft this year Change is sometimes
necessary, if this life we would enjoy,
and, although our sweetest boon is
voting for the Peerless Boy, yet some
little variation makes the landscape
seem less drear; can always vote for
Bryan, so III vote for Taft this year.
Even though our chIdren's children
hang their heads in deepest shame,
blushing for their rude forefathers
who at one time jumped the game
who in gloomy desperation voted
down the peerless dear; we can vote
for Bryan always, SO We'll vote for
Taft this year.

LABOR AND SAMUEL GOMPERS
Werklnsman Indignant over Attempt
to Deliver Him Bodily to
Bryanism.

There seems to be no question but
that the Republican party will get all
the labor votes TO which 1t is normally
entitled. and some added for good
measure. Evidences are becoming
more pronounced that the intelligent
labor unionist is Indignant at the at
tempt of Samuel GOmpers to deliver
the vote OF the laboring men of the
country to Bryan and Democracy with
as little compunctiOn as Tim Sullivan
delivers the vote Of the BOwely ana
the lower East Side of New York to
Tammany Hall
Commenting on the action of Com
pers the New York Sun says:
Even MIR. Bryan is now aware that
the fictitious concessions which were
made to Gompers at Denver might
just as well have been omitted. Bet
ter, in fact. Far better
I'VE shall not be surprised il it is
admitted presently that the secession
of Gompers and his crew is as great a
piece of luck as could well have bn-
fallen the Republican ticket. He is
already serious embarrassment to
Bryan. His presence in the camp has
to be explained and it is extremely
awkward. II has led to unpleasant
definitions OF the attitude OF labor to-
ward the Democracy 1t has forced
labor to recognize that it is being pre-
cipitated into politics for politics
sake. There is an inherent conscious
ness in labor that it ought to keep
out of politics. All conservative
workingment have held to that belief
and have always heretofore maintain
ed their political independence.
only few weeks ago they were
all pledged TO Mr.. Roosevelt. Accord
ing to Gompers the sun rose and set
in Mr.. Roosevelt. Now, without any
adequate or ineligible explanation,
they are all informed that they are
for Bryan. 1t makes sensible work
men uneasy and uncomfortably curl
Gus about the facts, about the relative
merits Of the rival claimants for their
favor. And about the nature of the
consideration.
They find that they have been
made the occasion Of political swap,
and the more they turn the matter
over the more they incline to the be.
lief that a blunder has been made.
Mr.. Roosevelt not only gave them
something practical and tangible, but
he left no doubt as to what he would
do, opportunity offering. Mr.. Bryan
on the other hand had nothing to
offer but vague and doubtful prom.
ise expressed in terms of duplicity.
For our part we are more convinc.
ed than ever that Mr.. Taft will get
the great bulk of the Intelligent labor
vote The natural and human inclina-
ton of labor is to vote for an honest
man. There is nothing in any part of
Mr.. Tafts career that does not stamp
him as man of the first integrity
He has never committed an act in his
life that would warrant labor in ques
tioning his sincerity"

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF
CANDIDATE TAFT
He Is Member and communicant Of
the Unitarian Church.

the Unitarian Church.
The religious beliefs of william H.
Taft have now entered into the cam
paign discussions due to the fact that
several obscure Democratic newspa-
pers have charged that Mr.. Taft is
not a Christian, that he does not be-
lieye in the divinity OF Jesus Christ,
and that he is an atheist Such
charges are false. Like many other
famous Americans, Mr.. Taft is com.
municant in the Unitarian church.
Concerning Mr.. Taft's religious be.
liefs the Northwestern Christian Ad
Yocate, that very prominent religious
publication, on April s, 1908, said:
Secretary of War William H. Taft
is Unitarian and has a pew in the
church of All Souls. 1t is at this
church that DR.. Edward everett Hale
frequently breaches. While the sec.
retary Of war is a Unitarian, his wife
and children are Episcopalians, and
the secretary frequently accompanies
them to st. Johns church, where also
he has a pew. While Mr.. Roosevelt
goes to the German Reformed church,
his wife and family, who are EpiscO-
palians, attend the historic st. Johns
church. where they SIT only one or
two pews removed from Mrs. Taft and
her children. Like Mr.. Taft, Mr..
Roosevelt frequently goes to the SER
NtRns 81 Iphn'. ,t,ftI
children. Miss Helen Taft and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt were confirmed at St.
Johns church at the same time not
long ago. Secretary Taft spends his
vacation at Murray Bay, Canada,
where there is a Union church attend
cd by the summer colonists of all de.
nominations. The secretary of war is
one Of the trustees of this summer
colony church, whore people of many
faiths gather for worship"
On August 3rd last, in speaking on
the same subject, DIR. Thayer, pastor
of the Unitarian church in Cincinnati,
said:
I'VE believe in one God, and regard
Christ as the greatest and best man
that ever lived, and our only creed is
TO emulate his life We have been
represented by four presidents-John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Quin-
cy Adams and Millard Fillmore
while such statesmen as Daniel Web
Ster, Charles Sumner, Charles Fran
els Adams, George William Curtis
and George F. Hoar have been laymen
in the church. In literature the
church is represented by Bryant,
Emerson, LongfelIow, Lowell. Holmes
and Bancroft, and among our greatest
eccIesiasts have been William Ellery
Claiming and Theodore Parker"
