ana's democratic political team, COM
posed of John Worth Kern and Thom-
as Taggart, which has been a headlin-
er in every political battle fought by
and within the party for several years
has dissolved partnership. They are
rival candidates for the United States
senate and have arayed against each
other for the first time during their
long friendship.
1t has been the general supposition
that Taggart would not ask for the
Hemenway senatorial toga if Kern
wanted it and that Kern would never
think of making race against Tag
gart. The latter has been Kern's
bosom friend in business way as
well as in politics. He managed
Kern's interests in the Denver conven-
tion and has been for him at every op-
portunity Kern has fought for Tag
gart even when there was hue and
| cry from one end of the state to the
other to put down the Taggart ma
chine.
The developments of the last "a
| hours leave no doubt that Taggart is
candidate, although he won't make
a public announcement Kern de-
clared that he has seen Taggart but
once since the election, and that he
has not talked with him at all. This
statement does away with the suspi
cion that Kern made his announce.

Under the signal given by Chair
man Clayton at Denver, the democratic
spellbinders OF the country are maxi
ing a determined effort to convince
the public that the election Of Mr.. Taft
to the presidency would meal an
abandonment of the Roosevelt policies.
Mr.. Clayton and his able assistants
have been insisting that the Chicago
platform was not a Roosevelt platform
and that the republicans, If they win
position to declare that they are abid-
ing by the Chicago platform and not
by the Roosevelt policies.
This democratic p~retense is on a par
with the other claims of Mr.. Bryan
and his associates touching the accept
ance of money from corporations, pub
llcity of campaign contributions and
other issues on which they have de-
liberately. or ign%orantly, m%isrepre-
sented the facts. The Chicago plat
form is most clear and emphatic in
its endorsement of the Roosevelt poll
cies. II declares that lin this, the
greatest era of American advancement,
the republican party has reached its
highest service under the leadership of
Theodore Roosevelt" The platform
specifically enumerates the Roosevelt
policies-the prosecution of illegal
trusts and m%onopolies. the passage of
the railway rate bill, the complete
overthrow of rebates and discrimina-
tions, the arbitration of labor disputes,
the conservation of national resources
and the entire list of achievements
which have given the Roosevelt admin
istratlon a ranking place in political
history. After thus enumerating the
party's achievements under the Roose-
welt administration, the platform says:
These are the achievements that will
make for Theodore Roosevelt his place in
history, but more than all else the great
things he has done will be an inspiration
for those who have yet greater things to
do. We declare our unfaltering adher-
ence to the policies thus inaugurated and
pledge their continuance under a repub-
lican administration of the government.
This platform of itself would make
it impossible for Mr.. Taft, when
elected, to get away from continuance
Of the Roosevelt policies. even if he
wished to do so. But Mr.. Taft has
clinched the matter, in his speech of
acceptance, by declaring his unalter-
able purpose of pursuing the policies
of President Roosevelt to their logical
conclusion. On this proposition there
is no room for dispute and democratic
misrepresentation cannot avail.

AErEr The AMERIcA cur:

sympathy of the American sport
lover will lie with Sir Thomas Upton
in his expressed desire and anxiety to
make another try for the America cup,
the symbol of international champion
ship in yachting and n of the most
coveted prizes in any range of sports
manship which has been held in this
country for many years. Sir Thomas,
game sportsman that he is, has made
three futile efforts to lift that prize
and wants to try again, II the rules of
the New York Yacht club can be modi-
fled to make his entry for the contest
possible.
Sir Thomas is willing and anxious
to challenge for a race, to be held in
August of next year, bit complains
that he is unable for love or none
to find a designer willing to build a
yacht to comply with the rules laid
down by the New York Yacht club.
which, under its possession of the
trophy, retains the right to define the
rules governing the next contest. Sir
Thomas asserts that the yachts OF the
Shamrock type are mere freaks and he
does not want to build any more of
them. He ask that the rules be modi-
fled to allow him to build a BOAT which
will sail itself across the Atlantic and
be of some service after the yacht
races are over. His request ppear
to the landlubber to be entirely reason
able. The New York Yacht club should
not require the sporty Irishman to
comply with a special rule, but should
allow him every leeway in the con-
struction of a yacht, under the general
rules governing yachting in America,
to the end that the result may have
its effect toward increasing the speed
OF commercial sailing vessels, one of
the objects of yachting and one that
could never be served by the use of
freak yachts.
No objection should be raised and
no obstacle placed in the way of an
other try for the America cup. II
smacks a little of unsportsmanship to
find the holders of the cup making
embarrassing rules. II the New York
Yacht club cannot defend the cup, in
a fair field and no favors, then the

TIE BALTIMORE xrN,s BOLT.

The swing of the Baltimore Sun. one
of the ablest democratic newspapers in
the country, to the support of Mr.. Taft
for the presidency, carries a political
significance greater than the mere in
dication of choice between two candi-
dates for the highest office in the gift
of the people. 1t is a sure sign OF
the existence among the democrats of
Maryland, a close state and n claimed
by both parties, of an anti-Bryan SEN
timent that spells defeat for the Ne
braskan. 1t means that the Sun, which
has always been robustly democratic,
repudiates Bryan and Organism and
will use its influence for the election
of the republican national ticket.
The Baltimore Sun, nearly a century
old, has always been democratic. In
the 1895 campaign, 1t rejected the free
silver fallacy of the democratic plat
form and gave it's support, in the early
part of the campaign, to Palmer and
Buckner, the candidates of the gold
democrats. Before the close of the
campaign, when it became apparent
that Palmer and Buckner would cut
a sorry figure in the running, the Sun
accepted Bryan, without enthusiasm, in
order to keep its record straight.
Four years later, in the 1900 cam
paign, the Sun accepted Bryan, because
the soft pedal had been put on the sill
yer plank in the democratic national
convention. In 1904, the Sun sup
ported Mr.. Parker Loyalty. This year
it opposed the nomination of Bryan
at Denver and it's influence was shown
by the fact that Maryland had n of
the few delegations in the Denver con-
%vention that refused to join in the
stampede to Bryan. Since the conven-
ton the Sun has been almost mute on
national affairs, but has finally yielded
to its sense of public duty and declares
its intention to support Mr.. Taft. With
deliberate judgment, evidently after
mature consideration, the Sun declares
it's belief that the material interests
Of this country would be safer for the
next four years with Mr.. Taft at the
head of the government than with Mr..
Bryan"
The detection of the Sun leaves Mr..
Bryan without the support of a Balti-
more daily newspaper. 1t is a signifi-
cant and convincing indication of the
lack of interest of the democratic lead
ers OF Maryland in the fate of Mr..
Bryan. 1t is known that the Sun re-
fleets the sentiments of those leaders
and the democratic congressional can
didates in Maryland, whose fate is
naturally bound up with that of Mr..
Bryan, must feel that, so far as their
party is concerned, they have been
Thrown overheard with Mr.. Bryan.
Maryland has three republican and
three democratic congressman. Two
of the democratic members we're
elected by pluralities of less than 1000
and the third had a plurality, in 1905,
of 1000. Two of the republican mem
bers had p~luralities of more than 1000
each and the third had nearly 5000.
The Suns opposition to Bryan should
give Maryland a solid republican dele

Not only has Taft had the training that
fits him to be president; he has the tenn
permanent. 1t would be difficult to imagine
a temperament better adapted thar his
to this difficult task. He is a happy half
way between Mckinley and Roosevelt,
with most of the strength and few of the
weaknesses of both. He has the training
of the lawyer, Of the judge, of the ad-
ministrator, of the diplomat. He knows
the American people, Ike knows the govern
ment, he knows the affairs of the world.
He has an almost unprecedented power OF
handling affairs and men. Serenity abides
with him, and patience, and justice. and
strength, and firmness. He may never
fire the hearts of the people as Roosevelt
has; he may never be looked upon by all as
a paragon of unpicturesque goodness as
was Mckinley. But If Taft becomes presi-
dent, he will get results. He will be mas
ter without carrying a whip. He will al
ways strive, as we see he has always
s%triven, to use infinite pains to get at all
the facts, to clarity them, to form slow
but sure judgments, and then to stand by
them. At the White House, IL Taft pre-
sides there, will be a great calm, great
patience Of listening and Investigation,
great energy of work, great good humor,

Some Humorous Features Of the CAM
paiEn spring Into view.

Philadelphia Ledger dnd).
Americans generally understand that Mr..
Bryan has or voices great detestation for
the use Of too much money in elccti.ns.
for millionaires and plutocrats in general
and for all those undesirable citizens VINO
are untitled to come close to the people.
They will learn, therefore, with mt rss
that Chairman Norman T.. Mack. in
charge of Mr.. Bryan's campaign. has
named a wholly unsympathetic finance
committee, which is to undertake to raise
money. The chairman is Moses C.. Wet

vestigated the use Of money in the Mon.

shocking things about a corruption cam

his seat until he could secure a vindication.

the campaign for the senatorship in the
Nevada legislature. Campau of Mich gan,
another member, is rich, and Lewis Nixon
is a little brother to capital.
Mr.. Bryan is himself a rich man, and
men entitled to be called soldbugs have
been set to work for him. Thus does time
soften the old asperities and dissipate
much of the humbug of life.
