Hot Stuff From New York Sun.

Hot stuff from correspondents
to the New York Sun, now sup
porting Taft:
Sir: Is Judge Taft willing to
risk his chances of polling the
votes of the conservative, indie
pendent business men of the
country as a ''me too of the
present occupant Of the White
House? If not, why can't he
prevail on some good, real friend
of his to put a muzzle on this "bull
in the china shop?" Ifthe Presi-
dent is the believer he processes
to be in the spirit as well as the
letter of civil service reform why
not, as becomes the dignity OF
the office of President of all the
people, set proper example to
the underling officials of nonpar-
tisan Indifference in elections?
Why should not he, a servant of
the people, as we'll as postmasters
and other Government employees,
be somewhat amenable to civil
service rules? Is it consistent to
threaten the poor little country
postmaster with discharge for
doing the very thing he is doing
himself? Is he too high and
mighty" even to harbor a sug-
gestion that it might become him
to show some regard for the laws
and proprieties that he processes
to believe in?
HERE'S ANOTHER.
Sir: Are there no men of cour-
age and sense left in the Repub-
lican party? 1t is evident that
the unspeakable Roosevelt is
doing the long suffering candi-
date a great amount of harm by
his irresponsible mouthings, yet
he goes unmuzzled. AS a part
ner of the man he branded the
assassin of Mckinley, as a princi-
pal in the nefarious Hartman
negotiations, people are begin
ming to doubt if the great pan
jandrum is a capable judge of
moral issue.
The Rooseveltian policy of
examining a candidate down the
unfortunate peoples threats has
caused many sick stOmaches in
the Republican party.

WE'D, SEPT. 80, 1908.
DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Mr.. Bryan has never made a
front porch campaign. He met
the people at their own homes and
discussed the issues in every sec
ton. He has never deemed it
beneath the dignity of an as
pirant to canvass the territory
whose support he sought and in
so doing has met millions of peo-
pie who could not journey across
the continent to get a glimpse at
a Presidential candidate and to
hear the issues presented by
their favorite. In so doing his
political opponents have hurled
many epithets of an unsavory
nature; have ridiculed the idea
of man seeking such distinction
coming down to the level of the
common people and meeting them
face to face. In former cam
paigns they have stood aloof
from the Bryan policy, but what
has happened now? Mr.. Taft is
hanging on to his special car and
dishing out rear-end speeches
throughout the middle West. The
unexpected has happened. The
mighty man.of a great party who
heretoforespointed the finger of
scorn at ,such methods tumbles
to the racket of emergency and
tries to cover the entire country.
Not content. to take chances in
an even handed battle between
himself and his opponent, not
satisfied with the aid his ally.
Hearst, could give, fearing the
great awakening of the people,
the President of the country
rushes to hisyaid and tells what
a great, good man this man Taft
is, and what a tremendous mis-
take would be made to elect Mr..
Bryan. Never in the history of
this country have the people been
so directed by a President; never
have they witnessed a more
strenuous effort from one man to
dictate the policy of his party, to
name his successor, and to run
every branch of the government.
His course has brought the coun-
try to the verge of disaster, his
power has been too keenly felt,
but whether the people will listen
to his pleas for the election of
Mr.. Taft can only be told after
the battle is over. Mr.. Bryan,
as in former campaigns, is con-
sistent with his ideas and con-
victions of political warfare and
is therefore addressing the voters
in different parts of the country.
He has no apologies to offer, no
emergencies to push him from
his high ideas while Mr.. Taft is
doing what he and his party has
heretofore considered beneath
the dignity Of a Presidential as
pirant. The medicine evidental-
~ is bitter; and while Mr.. Taft
is taking it his political father
will also try a few doses. News
