A PROGRESSIVE OPINION

The Times Republican, OF Marshall.
town, by all odds the hottest Pro.
gressive" paper in the state, speaks OF
the Republican candidate for Presi.
dent as follows:
"Mr' Taft has been the big man OF
the Mckinley and Roosevelt admins
tratiods. Whenever and wherever
there was trouble of serious nature,
real knotty problems to unite; when
ever and wherever difficulties we're sufli-
cient to battle other men, there and then
was Mr.. Taft sent, and order always
came readily out of chaos under his
masterful touch,
In the Philippine Islands q govern.
ment needed to be handmade and
built to suit people who had never
received any training for a govern
ment, and Mr.. Taft made a govern.
ment for them which seems to run as
smoothly ss newly oiled bicycle.
Trouble broke out In Cubai There
was insurrection and anarchy. So Mr..
Taft went laughing about the city OF
Havana, and Immediately there was
order in cuba.
Man after man failed on the canal
job. 1t seemed almost as though the
President himself would have to resign
and look after the canal. Mr.. Taft
went down there and we have heard
nothing but the dirt fly ever since.
Taft Is a man who does things. He
will not be the preacher that Roose
welt has been. He will not stir up a
nation to great popular waves of re-
form which, Of course, carry with them
dangers of extremes, but will actually
accomplish more in definite results
than Roosevelt has accomplished. The
party has made the best selection II
could have made. 1t has offered the
nation the one man of all men who can
carry out and put in operation the re-
forms which Roosevelt has inaugural.
ed. Roosevelt has created the public
sentiment, Taft is the man to do the
business. In the business world Taft
Is the man sent out TO close the deal. u

Mr.. Carroll is receiving many boz
quets from the newspapers of the state

ceives. The Carroll Herald, which

the recent campaign says:
Beryl F. Carroll, nominee for gov
ernor, Is one of the most estimable Of

thing NAV be said OF the state ticket.
Its personnel could not be higher. 1t
Is made up OF men of the highest in
tegrity and ability and they are enti-
tied to the votes OF every republican
in Iowa and whatever can do toward
that end l will do. Have no fear re-
specting Iowa or the nation. No doubt
should be entertained OF the success Of
Taft and Sherman. The republicans
of Iowa are loyal, independentmen,
but the voice of their conventioni Is the
voice of every member of the party in
the state"

follows:
Senator Allison Is entitled to two
