"WANTED-A MAN" is the caption
under which the Aberdeen News
publishes long article stating the
republican party cannot win at the
next national election if it nominates
Taft or LaFollette. In the past it
has been looked upon as an act of
high treason" to suggest that the
head of his own party admins
tration is failure and that be would
carry the party to defeat if be at
tempted to secure the customary
second term. But times have changed.
and as the News suggests, it is only
stating something that many believe
but fear to express. The INDEPENDENT
is not prepared to agree with the
News entirely on the proposition set
forth, but there is much in it for
thought. Of course the success of
the republican party with any par
ticular candidate will depend some
what upon how the opposition goes
into the campaign. If the democrats
go into the fight with a candidate
that does not inspire confidence, the
republicans can win with Taft. How
ever, it is true that Mr.. Taft has made
many mistakes from which the re-
publican party must suffer. His first
great mistake was in not giving con-
gress to understand that the tariff
must be revised according to his in
depreciation of the republican plat
form. After his election he sat in
Washington and refused to say a
word while congress aborted on the
Payne Aldrich tariff. After both
houses had passed the bill with
amendments and it went to joint con-
ference Mr.. Taft issued an ultimatum,
but it was too late to be effective as
the conference was limited by the
minimum and maximum of the two
bills. Mr.. Tafts ultimatum failed to
effect tariff legislation, and likewise
it failed to secure the confidence of
the people. His second mistake was
his Winona speech in defense of the
Payne. Aldrich tariff. His third mis-
take was his haste to exonerate
BalIinger who tried to help the
Morgan Guggenhiem interests to the
Alaska coal lands. He was even
proved to be wrong by the official
whom he appointed to take Balling.
er's place. From a political stand
point his Canadian reciprocity
treaty is wrong, although it is
right in principle. 1t has the appear.
ance of not reducing the trust tariffs
while it takes the useless tariffs from
agricultural products, and this useless
tariff is highly priced by farmers after
the trusts get through putting up
their argument for the dear farmer
We are not prepared 10 say that the
president took hand in the election
of Lorimer from Illinois, but the fact
remains that his name has been con
nected with that rotten deal, and
whether true or not, it will have the
effect Of destroying the confidence d

A STORY has just leaked out of a

The Aberdeen News might with
consistency keep its want add" run
ming from now until after the primary
election next spring. We want a
man for governor of this state, and a
real man for Z. S. senior, and, in
fact, we need several men for various
places. We have had too many "good
fellows" whose only asset was their
good nature and ability to influence a
few voters. The country is cursed
with too many politicians, and all too
few statesmen. Keep the want add"
running.
