ENTHUSIASTIC NATIONAL CONVENTION:
POPULAR TICKET AND STRONG piATyoR Al

The National Republican convention
attracted great thvongs of people from
every nook and corner of the United
States Chicago entertained the larg-
est number of participants and specta-
tors OF any convention hver held in this
country. The work of the body meets
withgeneral approval from republicans.
The proceedings AMI platform are Civ
en- on aninside page of today = CENSOR.
The nomination of William II, Taft
for head of the ticket, was expected.
and the thinking men of the country &C
cept him as the ogical candidate for
the times. SECRETARY Taft has been
closely identified wiki President Roose-
Welt in all the goo,, and progressive
work inaugurated during the past eight
years. No man has ever been nomi-
mated and elected to the presidency,
who has brought to its discharge better
qualifications and equipment than Sec
rotary Taft possesses. He is schooled
statesman of large cahbsr. In Taft we
have the embodiment of Rooseveltism
not IN mere shadow. but in substance.
His nomination was accomplished by
the sober. thinking people of tbs United
States Ills has so well acquitted him
self IN civil and official life that the
rational sentiment of the country ma
turally turned TO him as safe, firm.
just man of affairs He isa gentleman
of the highest ideals. of clean life:
home and country lover. Their was
noneiof the element of spectacular in
the campaign conducted in his behrlf.
Nominee Taft is the natural successor
TO the most popular man and president,
with the massns, who has occupied the
presidential ehair.
No republican who has gloried in the
vigorous policies of President Roosevelt
can well find reasonable excuse for
turning his back on the party in the APP
preaching election.

president, Hon. James S. Sherman.

find place in CENSOR columns. The first
is that of District Attorney Bennett,
who seeks a denomination with every
prospect that he win be accorded the

that the Wrights have shown the supe-
riority of their work over that of Far
man. But this is really not so impor-
tant as the fact that both Farman and
the Wrights, working Independently,
seem to have reached the rationale of
mechanical fight. They have shown
that it can be done, and, more or less
crudely perhaps, have done it.
II is a matter of regret, if the story
be true, that the Wrights should have
SOLD their machine and their plans in
France. These Frenchmen are a lot of
seekers after ideas. They captured the
automobile in its infancy and made it
the basis of an industry which is said
to have given prosperity a new lease
of life in industrial France. Now they
are straining every nerve to keep the
