Echo Of prohibition ConyentJou

The Prohibitionists In their con-
vention Thursday showed themselves
capable of political capacity and
rickery, wlre-puIling and schemi1g
far beyond a party of their youth and
experience. One of their reverend
delegates taking advantage Of a prIyi-
lege, contrary to all parliamentary
usages and polite customs abused that
privilege by making one of the most
unprovoked attacks upon a candidate
for an office before the convention
ever known or heard of. The. pro-
tests of the brainier and more pru-
dent members of the convention avail
ed nothing as the volatile suave chair
man allowed "the brother" to pro-
coed with his senselcss TRADE of as
sault till the climax was reached by
the fluent comparison of the assault
ed one to "a brass monkey"
The candidate who was compelled
to listen in silence to this abuse was
charged with being a young mana
convert to the prohibition idea with
in the last two years. That he had
dared to express an optimistic view
as to the number of votes the party
would cast this fall; that he has a
good legal training, and is of renown-
ed ancestry. No wonder that mem
Der OF the convention declared open
~ on the floor, that a few more such
speeches. devoid of sense and pru-
dence would bring the Waterloo of
the party in West Virginia.
II any logic can by artifice be
squeezed out of the assault it is
notice to the young man of West vir-
ginia, that If possession of character,
ability, training and especially a
roseate idea of prohibition success by
the third party. he need not knock at
the door of that party until he has
safely passed beyond the brass mon
key" period.

Taft's Nomination.

While the people love Theodore
Roosevelt and know him to be a great
President, yet their love for him has
not resulted in forcing upon him a
nomination that he said four years
ago he would not seek and would not
have, and he has repeatedly since
then said the same thing. They loved
him too we'll to force him to change
his mind, when he stood our against
the idea of changing.
President Roosevelt early enlisted
in the Taft campaign and at all times
stood loyal and firm to his big war
secretary. That he was the Presi-
dents choice is not at all strange as
he has been one of the great and
leading factors in the Roosevelt adj
ministration and has performed a
wider scope of work of vast import
ance than any other member of the
Presidents cabinet.
The Roosevelt policies are firmly
believed In by Mr.. Taft, who has not
only helped to administer them but
has also formulated many of them,
and. therefore, Mr.. Taft is looked up
on as a chief factor in the policies as
administered and advocated by the
party today.
While the iavorite sons were put
to the front, yet the country at large
failed signally to focus around any OF
them, as Taft assumed the position
of the peoples candidate, the nation S
choice. as the nominating ballot con-
clusIvely showed
In his nomination the party has a
candidate whose life shows that he
has measured up TO every trust repos-
ed in him and has a constructive
capacity not equalled in this country.

His history also shows an equipment
possessed by him for the Presidency
superior to that Of any other man be-
fore the American public,
The nomination of Taft insures
Triumphant victory in November aud
already the people are rallying to his
support. AS the campaign progress
SEES the proportions OF the victory will
develop until at the election 1t is like
ly to be as stupendous as was that Of
Theodore Roosevelt four years ago.

That injection of politics into the
university seems ton ave been done
more by the Democrats than by the
Republicans. Perhaps, Prof. Hodges,
who is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor, and
his following could fully explain it,
If they would. For the benefit of the
State Journal the Telegram respect
fully informs it that its candidate for
governor on the Republican ticket
and his following could also tell
some things for its enlightenment, II
they should choose to do so. In a
nutshell this is how politics got In
jected into the university.
