BIG AND BROAD.
Methodists irdorse the Candi-
dacy Of William n. Taft.

An unqualified approval of
William IL. Taft as II presiden.
tial candidate was given by the
, Rev. James Coote. ID. d., pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church
, In Thompsonville. Conn. when
he called ut the headquarters of
, the Republican national commit
tee. For years DR. Coote has
taken II prominent part In Meth
odist circles In New England and
In New York, having been a
presiding elder and occupied
leading pulplts.
NO man has spoken SO ear
nestly In favor of the great work
that Christian missions are do
Ing In the Philippines. In China
and In the orient generally as
Mr.. Taft" said Mr.. Coote. "ln
an address ut Yale university he
emphasized that idea particular
ly. and on several other occa-
sions he spoke enthusiastically
, Of the good being done by ag
gressive Christian evangelicalism
In the different countries which
he visited. II seems to me that
no evangelical Christian should
hesitate to support Judge Taft.
) He is just as big and broad in
his religious ideas as he Is In his
) physical proportions. He can be
trusted to do what Is fair and
} right with all denominations.
II am convinced that what
Judge Taft has said on religious
, matters was not for political eff
feet. He has gone hIther and
thither doing the work before
him, and at the same time his
keen observation and his sense
OF fairness have led him repeat
, eddy to give expression TO his
appreciation of the work Of
Christian missions everywhere.

tinued DIR. Coote. During the
last Democratic administration
that establishment was com
PEELED to close, and the thou

out Of work. A very large pro
portion of those had to leave the

REV. FRANCIS BURGETTE
SHORT ExTOLS MR.. TAFT.

1t Is striking that no one has
yet declared that Bryan Is wise
statesman. Those who are most
anxious for his success do not
urge especial fitness, but rather
that he may ut last have found
IN issue that the people viii not
repndiate ut the polls. TO return
to power Is the main thing of
the Democratic party. no mat
ter II II floats into office on
Bryan bubbles or on any other
conceivable pretext.
In pronounced contrast Is the
estimate that IL universally ex-
pressed on Taft's equipment for
the presidency. irrespective of
party, all attest to his mastery
of affairs and wonderful admin
istrntive ability. The clergy are
equally outspoken, Among those
, who called upon Mr.. Taft at Gin
cinnati du.ing the week was the
; Rev. Francis Burgette Short,
pastor of the First Methodist

, Short said:
Judge Taft Is eminentIy fitted
In character and practice to oc-
, cupy the highest office In the
land. His efforts to raise Il high

to Other Social Functions-Rich and

Solicitude.
After Mr.. Taft assumed charge Of
the Philippines there was no color line
SO far as he was concerned. There
had been one for centuries. The Span

would not permit even suggestion of
social equality between him and the

which constitute manliness the upper

the Spaniard or American.
Mr.. Tafts first care In the prosecu-
ton of his "pollcy Of attraction" In the
Philippines was to demollsh the color
line. Leading Filipinos were hidden
to dinner and to other social affairs at
his home, and their wives and daugh-
ters were asked to stand on the re-
ceiving line with Mrs Taft. At din
ners Mr.. Taft invariably took In the
leading Filipino woman. He did not
martyr himself In so doing, either, for
the Filipino women are bright, viva

humor, which last quality alone would
insure their getting on well with Mr..
Taft So far as he could Mr.. Taft be-

accompanied him on his first tour Of
the islands tells of having seen Mr..

Filipino lawyer. who, when he quit
Mr.. Tafts side, left with him piece

secret came out the next night at the
ball. which invariably formed a con-

labor's Vote Cannot Be delivered"

"The vote Of organized labor as a

laration of Norman E, MoPhaii, presi-
dent of the Typographical union, in a
letter to Willis L. Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau. Thus
another voice is added to the rising
protest Of union labor against the at
tempt Of Mr.. Gompers to deliver" the
vote of free American citizens.
President McPhairs letter is as fol-
lows;
Dear Mr.. Moore--Your letter Of

"ln reply to the question you ask
me, will state that in my opinion the
vote Of organized labor in this coun.
try as a body will not and cannot be
delivered to any one party by any one
man or set Of men. To allow such a
thing would be suicidal to the labor
movement Of the country.

ises Of the different political parties
and should vote as they believe the
broadest and best interests OF our

which every citizen should do. To
claim that any man or set Of men. as
has been olaxoned forth In the news-

RESTORING CONFIDENCE.
Country impressed With Utter
ances OF Judge Taft.

Judge Taft has steadily grown
) on the country since his nomina-
ton, His judicial poIse, his So
} briefly of utternnce and his atti-
tude of deep responsibility have
, all Impressed the country. They
IRE what IL wanted to give con-
fidence IN period OF doubt and
depression.
$. NJ. FELTON,, president of the
Mexican Central railroad. who
was one Of Mr.. Tafts visitors
last week. said In an interview:
"In my judgment the election of
Mr.. Taft IL of the utmost impor-
tance to railroad men as a class,
, because 1t means the restoration
of confidence, which Is necessary
, before we can hope for perma-
nent revival of business. The
great trouble with the railroads
has been their inability to raise
the necessary money with which
to carry ON extensions and I'M
provements. To get this money
there must be confidence on the
part OF the investing public, and
3 this confidence will certainly be
secured by the election Of Judge
Taft"
? The campaign has reached the
point where It IL wise to make
the personality of Mr.. Taft
5 known and familiar over the
country. The campaign Is marked
by Its sober discussion and the
manifest movement of the great
current Of public opinion toward
n conservative desire to see the
great issues now opening handled
with care, consideration and
judicial scrutiny.
Judge Taft Is u man Of action.
combative and aggressive. He
Z appeals to the precise conditions
; Of the campaign. He has the
4 qualities which draw men to
} him In times like these. The
: speechmaking campaign on which
} he recently entered will not only
win votes by arousing public
} interest, but 1t will add to the
3 strength of the Republican party
D In every doubtful state he visits
by showing the people man
they can trust.
