The Republicans of Ell Paso coun-
ty struck the keynote of true tie
publicanism when in their county
convention they gave emphatic evS
idence of their approval OF the
Taft administration and their dis
approval of insurgency in any form
They have the spirit which AM
mates q vast majority OF the he
publicans throughout the country.
The strength OF President Tafts
hold upon the sentiment OF the
people of the United States is be-
coming more and more evident
every day. His refusal to be swept
away by any sort of insurgency
or disposition to depart from the
fundamental principles of the
party, his patience under msrepfe-
sentation. and the quiet dignity ana
judicial poise of the man are al
winning him the respect of the peo-
pie In every part of theland.
He has achieved SO much In
brief time. and he has done 1t so
well and without the blaring oil

help admiring him. The Repubi-

that he will continue to grow. what
ever his detractors and his secret
enemies may say or do.
Colorado Republicans will give
him hearty Endorsement. and they
will have excellent reason to dc
so because Of his attitude toward

of his position In regard TO the

Meet at 1o:So o'cIoek-WiII Prob
ably Order Delegated Convention
for Legislative Nominations.

Democrats Of Maury county are TAX
ing great interest in the mass coryen-
ton to be held here next Monday at
which time delegates viii be elected
to the Nashville convention on Sept.
IA. Indications point to large at
tendance and much enthusiasm. The
convention will meet here at noon at
the circuit court room and every Dem
ocrat in the county who is opposed to
machine domination and desires the
redemption of Tennessee from present
lntolerable conditions is expected to
attend.
The coming convention will doubt
less be very harmonious meeting, as
the anti-machine Democrats of Maury
county, like ther fellows over the
State, are practically of one mind in
their determination to vote for
straight Republican in preference to
a crooked Democrat. 1t is altogether
probable that the convention Lere
next Monday will instruct for Hooper

Hon. James A. Smiser, Chairman of
the County Democratic Executive
Committee, will call the convention |

scented to serve. He will deliver the |
keynote speech of the occasion and |
those who have heard Mr.. Dining !
know that there will not be a dull
while he is speaking.
1t is not expected that the conven-
lion will be in session very long.
Committees on resolutions and delega-
ion will be appointed and while these
committees are at work it is proba-
lie that number of prominent Dem

In addition to the county mass con-
yention, the Democratic Executive
Committee will meet at the court
Iouse at 1880 o'clock for the purpose
