McKinlay Says Roosevelt Will
Stand by President.
Chief Executive Is Carrying Out
All ''My Policies
NO THIRD TERN GOES
California Man Blazing New
Trail for "Big BILL
Declares People Will Keep Re-
publican Party in Power.

Theodore Roosevelt is coming
home from Africa to do his very best
for the Republican party and William
Howard Taft. He is coming to throw
the whole weight of his personality
into this fight on the side of the Re
publican party and it's present leader.
He is a friend of William Howard
Taft. When he left the White House
he knew that it would be occupied by
one who would carry out every prom
Use made to the people, one who would
put in force with renewed vigor those
grand policies for which he himself
fought and made part of our national
life"
This is the way Congressman Dun
can McKinlay of California, express
ed himself last night, to representa-
tive of the State Journal, following
his speech at the auditorium. He was
in earnest too when he made the
statement. He showed 1t. The new
the great west to keep in line the
mighty commemorative which have
in the past stood foremost in the
ranks of the Republican party. He
knows no regular or insurgent organ
izatiOn. He is for the party-tEe
whole party. McKinlay is the first
of the army of orators who will be-
tween now and election time do their
best to save the party from defeat
save for it the house of representa-
tives.
DO you think Mr.. Roosevelt will
snatch. from Mr.. Taft the leadership
of the party?" asked the State Jour
nal man.
81 do not" replied the congressman.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that Mr. Taft is
doing his full duty-by the whole coun-
try-as I understand 1t. He has been
Kept constantly advised OF the progress
of affairs here and is much pleased with
the way Mr.. Taft has handled matters
Theodore Roosevelt is not interested in
lis own advancement as much as ne is
in the Republican party's and the Peo-
pies. If he had wanted a third term
as president why did he not take 1t
He was in power and could have had it
for the asking. But he did not. What
did he do? Why he assisted the party
in nominating Mr.. Taft and endorsed
him for the office. He has faith in
him. He knows him to be great big
trainy man fitted in every way to carry
cut the will of the people-not of any
class or clan-but of the whole people.
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that the president
is carrying out the law as he himself
did, that he is justifying the trust Inn
posed in him by the rank and file of the
Republican party. in nominating him
for the presi 1ency and the people in
eiecting him.
Taft Has Great Mind.
grasping the issues of the day with
force. He has keen insight into the
problems of the times. Day in and day
out he is working for the whole people
as their servant. Problems presented
to him are such as require deep study.
He is devoting all his time to them and
solving them like the statesman he is,
should do. Critics who write for news
Papers try their best to pick him to
Lieces. He feels this most keeniy. And
rightly so. These writer's just write
they don't do anything and half the
time they don't know what they are
writing about. There is a lot of differ
ence in doing things and writing about
them. Taft is responsible to the ma
ton for what he dies. These writers
are responsible to no one, except their
editors
will the next house go Republican,"
asked the reporter,
Yes. Because the Republican party
IS the friend OF the people and they
have confidence in 1t. They have dem
onstrated that confidence time and
again and they will do SO at the next
election
