The only Republican candidate for
president of the United States who can
carry Missouri in November is William
H. Taft. Missouri voted for Roosevelt
four years ago because his demonstra
ted quality and force as the champion
of the Square Deal for the whole PEG
pie justified a departure from the elec
toral custom of the state. The voters
who chose Roosevelt then are for the
Roosevelt policies now. There has
been no cause to regret Missouyi's
share In the great victory. Secretary
Taft stands for the continued effective
ness of the Roosevelt policies, for his
own splendid record of honorable ant
efficient service in the nations under
takings and for the unqualified am
straightforward declarations upon pub
lie questions to which he has giver
