The Taft Lafo,ette fiaht.

he Irrepressible conflict between The
insur eDt and stand pat wings OF the
Republican party has begun earlier in
the ca'ppaign for the presidency than
expected, says the boy lestown Demo-
crat. The outbreak was precipitated
by President Taft, candidate for re-
nomination,in bitter speech in Mass
achnsetts last Saturday, III which he
defends his course in vetoing the tariff
bills anc incidentally attacked Senator
Lafoilette and bis l1su rgenl .,associ-
ates." President Rats dI tense vi his
own course was weak. To strengthen
| it, he pervertea facts. Is is statement
that the efforts OF the Democrats 10 Sc.
cure cheaper necessities OF life for the
people were crude, i'll considered and
ha' lily aud imperfectly drawn was
not true. The Farmers Free List,
Wool and Cotton bil were carefully
considered, were based upon thorough
ly collected and well dlgested data IAN d
were irawn by men who have as much
general knowledge Of the tariff aud the
needs OF both the producer aud con-
snmer as anybody of men in the
coun ny, Mr.. I ats plcjadiced tariff
board not excepted.
But, while Taft's defense of his veto
the way he went after MI. LaFolette's
scalp left nothing to be desired in the
way of aggression. Now the Senator
! from Wisconsin is printing his oratori-
cal biunderbuss with vitoriol and will
fire broadside in reply to the Presi-
dent. 1t is quite unfortunate that the
two aspirants for the Republican Pres
idential nomination should begin their
! fight so long in advance of the con VEN
tlon, but the country will have to put
up with il. It's one redeeming feature
will be that the intrigus of the Re.
publican party to keep the campaign
contributing corporations i'm m II
from the penalties they have earned as
law breakers and as instruments of
robbing the people are likely to be SUBJ
jected to additional exposure.
OF course Senator LaFollette has no
real expectation of capturing the Re-
publican Presidential nomination. AL
though Senators Cummings and Bris-
tow have just come out for the Wiscon-
sin Senator, he can develop no such
strength between now and next June
as will lmperil Tafps denomination.
The administration is too strongly in
trenched to be taken by any progre S.
i've assault from within the Republ ican
party .LaFollette's fight will, however
serve to accentuate the iireconcilable
differences between the two factions
into which the party is split. 1t Will
widen the beach and make more GER
tain The crushing defeat which Pres j.
dent Taft and the regular wing of the
Republican party have courted in their
brazen defiance of the peoples efforts
to secure relief from exortion and op-
preston by trusts through exorbitant
tariff taxes.

most of the residents were thrown
from their beds into the street and
buried under the wreckaEe.
Immediately after the explosion. the
debris caught fire and it was with
difficulty that the rescuers were en-
abled to take some Of those injured out
Of the way OF the flames.
According to the police the bomb
had been placed In the front entrance
to the building. It's explosion lifted
the structure from its foundation and
within few moments aided by the
fire It was complete ruin.
The unidentified man is supposed
by the police to have placed the bomb

His body was horribly mutilated. The
