both in Minnesota and California.
In 1898 Carpenter returned to Cali
forn1a and was with a law firm in San
francisco when there came to him
from the Philippines that message
which started him upon his interesting
career in the past decade. It was a
little more than mere accident that
brought Taft and Carpenter together.
Taft Needed Stenographer.
The president of the Philippine
commission was in need of stenog
rapher for confidential work and could
find no one to his personal liking in
the islands. A friend, fresh from
America, to whom he appealed in his
dilemma, remembered the willing
worker in the San Francisco law Of
flee. and recommended Carpenter. The
young man went out on the next
speedily that in less than year, with
the inauguration of Taft as governor
of the Philippines, Carpenter was
made his private secretary.
From that day to this Carpenter has
been continuously Taft's chief aid in
the roles of secretary of war, preSiden-
tial candidate, president-elect and chief
ma giStrate, and certainly no public man
less a secretary. He accompanied Taft
twice around the world; sojourned with
him successfully in Washington, Muir
ray Bay, Can, Hot Springs, Va, and
Cincinnati, o., to say nothing of those
weeks of strenuous existence on the
special train that swung round the
CIRCLE during the recent presidential
Got Him by Accident.
In short, Carpenter earned the tribute
recently paid to him publicly when Mr..
Taft said of his personal representa-
tive: He is the best secretary that a
man ever had, and I got him by acci-

Then the patrol shot to kill, and did kill.
And the worst feature about it is, that the
murder qcas committed By the command of
an officer.
This dreadful incident follows close upon
the shocking decision reached in the Sutton

ing evidence that several officers had Sutton
down, face to the ground, beating him bru-

Stand for

Stands for the old Hamiltonian idea of
copying, as nearly as possible, the English
system. The key to the mystery of Republi-

House, Wall Street and the Pope

Papa of the 100000 Catholics of the Uni
ted States, publicly assured his children last
year that he approved of Mr.. Taft and

Interests. Whenever the Republicans are not
quite able to "deliver the goods" (promised
when the corporations filled the dough-bag),
the Democratic party lends sufficiency of
votes to turn the trick

(3) The Prohibition Party:
- Its distinctive purpose is the prevention of
the manufacture, importation and sale of al
cOhOllc beverages.
(G The Socialist Party:
The American leaders of this movement
preach one doctrine in cities like Chicago and
New York, and a different doctrine when
talking to country people in Kansas, Okla
homa, Missouri, Texas and Florida.

Stands for the public ownership Of all pub
