department of the nation have caused
a great deal Of dissatisfaction among
the employees. The carriers and mail
clerks have been reduced In numbers,
and those left in service find their

the whole personnel Of the depart
ment is sending In petitions to the au-

NINE-TENTHs FOR TAFT.

Since 1t has been agreed to settle
the presidential endorsement contro.
verSy by primary election, there has
been much discussion of the political
situation in this section. Acting I'D IN
the advice of numerous friends the
Star-Republican has, during the last
10 days, interviewed nearly all our
business people, many farmers, and
many other prominent people, seeking
to get an expression of the real senti.
ment of the voters of this, the second
largest Republican township in Clin.
ton county. To some the political con-
ditions as we have found them may
be surprising. Without regard to past
factional affiliations, interviewing the
people as We met them upon the
streets and in our business places, we
have talked with more than 100 prom
inent Republicans. Out of this num-
Der we have found but six men who
would support Senator Foraker for
the presidential endorsement the re.
mainder were for Taft, first, last and
all of the time. Taking this result as
basis, We feel fully justified in say.
ing that at least nine-tenths of the
Republican voters of Blanchester and
Marion townships are for Mr.. Taft.
Nor are We alone in this opinion, for
the party leaders and prominent Re
publicans here without exception hold
the same opinion. Being a part of
the community, and firmly believing
in the doctrine that the majority
should rule, The Star-Republican will
take its stand with the people and
whatever influence it may have in the
coming political contest will be given
to the end that the will of the major.
ity prevail. We therefore unfurl our
banner and inscribed thereon will be
Taft for President" - Blancheste.

SECRET OF TAFT's STRENGTH.

They who undertake to oppose the
nomination of Secretary Taft for the
president will do well not to underrate
his positive personal strength. It
would be a fatal mistake to suppose
that his rapid advancement has been
wholly or mainly due to the efforts of
the president.
Mr.. Taft came into public life in
the time of Mckinley and has 1usti.
fled the choice of that marvellous Judge
OF men before Mr.. Roosevelt was even
named for vice president He is older
in national politics than the presi.
dent and owes him nothing but oppor-
tunity to continue work whose foun-
dation was laid before.
He has been the constructor of his
own policies and has carried them out
by his own force within the limits of
his power Perhaps no public man in
America has fuller record of posi-
tive policies and definite accomplish
ments than that of his seven years In
public life since Mckinley made him
president of the Philippine commits

WASHINGTON LETTER

The question as to whether
Frank H. Hitchcock, First As
sistant Postmaster General, will
or will not assume the manage
ment of the Presidential inter-
ests Of Secretary Taft has been
cause for much discussion in DO
lltlcal circles for weeks past. 1t
has finally been most authorita-
lively stated that Mr.. Hitchcock
will continue to discharge his
duties as assistant Postmaster
General while Mr.. Vorys will
continue the management of Mr..
Taft's political affairs. Mr..
Hitchcock, it is said, has not been
asked up to the present time to
command the Taft forces and has
never considered the possibility
of resigning his present post as
First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral, a place he has filled to the
entire satisfaction of the Post
master General and the admins
tration.
Considerable discussion and
criticism are heard of the Aid
rich financial bill, but the con-
census of opinion is that, with
some notifications, it will get
through both houses of Congress
in a reasonably short time.
This has been busy week at
the new House office building.
