President Taft is not making goot
in his speech making tour of the
country. He is indulging in too man.
generalities and explanations with
out coming to the point and saying
just what he stands for on the ques
lions, now uppermost in the minds
of the people.
The following extract from Reg.
lister and Leader editorial explains
the situation:
The failure of Canadian reciprocity
sets President Taft right back, where
he was at the end of the first spe-
cial session of congress. Can the
republican party hope to win on that
record? Can the republican party
hope to justify the presidents activ-
ity for tariff revision from his IA
nous Maine speech, in which he first
forced the tariff to the front, with
nothing to show for two special ses-
sions OF congress and all the attend
ut upheaval blu. the Payne-Aldrich
law?

WHY SECRETARY WILSON FiRsT7

AS result " TIC IAeeluSAIS Ga
oneration Of Doctor Wiley many
newspapers are clamering for the
removal of Secretary Wilson. The
American people, without regard fol-
party, are going to insist. upon the
dismissal Of every public official who
has interfered with the enforcement
OF the Pure Food Act, by plotting
against the head Of the Bureau Of
Chemistry. That much is true, or
at least should be true, but why
should the President commence by
removing Secretary Wilson?
Attorney General Wickersham in a
repor. to the President recommended
that Doctor Wiley be permitted to
resign, and by so doing identified
himself with the plotters. The
President should commence his own
housekeeping by permitting" his
Attorney General to resign. Let
him walk the plank into the ocean
Of political oblivion from whence
he was called to seat in the cabi,,
net. tn,
While Secretary Wilson has not
openly sided against Doctor Wiley,
yet il it can be shown that he has
secretly furnished aid and comfort
to the plotters, he too should be re
moved. This country has no use
for any man on its pay rolls who is
under the influence Of the food
prisoners

a MARK HANNA CAMPAIGN
CANADA.

Reciprocity was beaten in Canada
by regular Mark Hanna campaign.
In 1896 Hanna posed as the special
defender of the country's flag while
he was using millions OF money con-
tributed by the interests to corrupt
the votes Of the country. The Can
adam conservatives pursued similar
policy. They were well supplied
with money by certain American
trusts and certain Canadian interests,
and played the old game Of posing
as the special defenders Of the coun-
try's honor while they debased the
countrys electorate.
Well Informed people know that
such resorts TO patriotism are favor
ite devices Of political scoundrels,
but all voIers5 rare snot4fwell informed
and SO long as the credulous and
minimizing can be influenced by such
methods they will be used.
John Callan o'Laughlin, the well
known newspaper correspondent:
writing from Quebec on the eve Of
the election said:
''In a word, the campaign now
closing is comparable with that in
the United States in 1896, when the
business interests provided an i'm
mense campaign fund to bring about
the defeat Of William Jennings
Bryan.
