FORAKER PLEADS FOR UNITY.

While the national administration has excited criticism,
yet the truth that President Taft has done remarkably well
der the difficult by which he has been attended
He succeeded of great intellectual vigor and of the
greatest intellectual activity displayed in public life.
President Roosevelt did strong things strong way He
had devoted followers They regretted him. while vet the
very prime and vgor of manhood quit the highest office the
nation They could endure the thought that his public
ended They wanted him the White House again
This made difficult for President Taft how ealouy
he might undertake carry President Rooseves policies
give them satisfaction.
They quick crcse and jealous spread discomfort
and foment trouble
In this way of the criticisms of which have heard
have be made Most of them without any what
Some OF them may have merit but there nothing
of serious character.
The President has shown great patience and earnest desire
to redeem the pledges OF the platform which he was elected
to keep peace within the party and make general progress
the common good.
With Republican Congress he accomplish much With
out it, nothing
IT, therefore YOU would have his usefulness continue rally to
his support and give him what he needs Let have an odme
Republican victory victory for President Taft victory for
Gov Harding and the whole State ticket victory for all
publican candidates for Congress- victory for county tickets
and, above all, victory for od-tme Republicanism,

MANY CHANGES
At AUDITORIUM

Those who attend the opening per-
Torrance of the orpheum Stock Com
pany Thursday night at the Auditori-
UNI are certain to be greatly surprised
at the changes made in the interior
of the building in order to make it =
most comfortable, modern. attractive
and coy theater.
Manager Boyer announces that ar
rangements have been perfected
whereby every seat will be so elevat-
ed that splendid view of the stage
will be had by the audience. A plan
different from the one employed when
the seats were elevated for the theat-
rical performances two years ago will
be employed.
The big ventilator system in the
roof recently installed will, in warm
weather, make it Just as pleasant in
the Auditorium as out doors under
the shade trees.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening Thursday night.
The music to be rendered nightly
by the Orpheum orchestra will alone
be well worth the price of admission.
The plays to be presented by the
strongly organized company are GER
tain to be the finest productions ever
offered in this city by stock COM
pany.
