DESPERATION OF THE
 REPUBLICAN PARTY../

party is evidenced by the desperate efforts they are making in advance of the impending national campaign to again ingratiate themselves in the good will of the masses. The fact that President Taft is to begin a hippodrome exhibition of himself in a tour throughout the west and northwest within the next few weeks, covering a period of forty days of speechmaking. shows that the party realizes full well what is about to happen.
 On his vote-getting tour the pres ident is going to indulge in the us- ual republican platitudes. He is going to point to the enactment of the Canadian reciprocity measure as the greatest act of statesmanship ever accomplished. showing the will ligness- of the republican administra- ticn to let drop one crumb from the grooming tables of the protected rich. He is going to talk of the great principles of humanity en- bodied in the arbitration treaties pending with England and France, and insist that the people must in struct their senators at Washington that they must support this addi- tional insidious encroachHea; of the executive upon the legislative branch of the government, which is an other spoke in the wheel of cen tralization which the republican leaders are constantly fashioning.
 When it comes to an actual dis cussion of the tariff. the president is going to speak of the necessity of awaiting the report of the. tariff board. He is going to take refuge behind the bulwark which has been provided for the emergency. But when it comes to actual relief for the masses of the people who are grooming under the iniquitous tariff burden, the president Is not going to refer to the recent attempted partial revision by the democrats and progressive members of his own party. He will explain the vetoing of those measures on the ground that they were not framed scienhf- icaIIy and in accordance with the forthcoming report of that celebrat- ed tariff board.
 1 The fact that the president and his party are willing that this hard campaign trip shall be inaugurated at this time, so far in advance oi the actual campaign, discloses the desperation to which they are re- duced. It also shows the character of the campaign that is to follow This campaign will include an ex- hibition of the president in all doubtful territory, an appeal to the party members to forget their diff 1 fereHces and stand together for the sake Of party success. There is go ing to be a great hurrah-an effort to obscure the real issues involved 10 hoodwink the people with mighty ] promises as to what the republican party is going to do to the tariff when that celebrated tariff board does get ready tb make its scIen tinc report, and with the persona popularity of the president cause thu masses to forgive and forget
 It is a great scheme. but it is go ing to fall short of it's purpose. Th' people are going to turn out an' welcome the president at his ever. public appearance. and they are go ing to vigorously applaud his pub lie speeches, but when 1t comes t casting their votes in the next na tional election, the president, hi party and the principles they stan for are going to receive a crushin. and disappointing repudiation.
