point of view of political expediency

Republicans who believe that MT la''

Insureent Kansas in Line.
Kansas. that heart OF the lnsurgent
country" which gave President TAFT so
cordial a welcome in September Is
heartily for him now, according to Sena-
( tor Curtis.
| "I am for Taft and the Republicans
OF Kansas are for Taft" said Mr. Cur
lis to-day. There are few who are
urging the nomination of La Toilette,
but am speaking of the sentiment OF
the great mass of people. That is for
the President, and Il is growing stronger
every dav. I have travelled extensively
ovor much Of the ground that was COW
cred by the President on his recent trip
and have sounded the sentiment he left
i'm his wake. and that is what / find.
The Republican vote of the state will be
for Taft The people are in favor of his
nomination and his reelection.
I'm the light Of what has been accom-
pished by the present administration in
many directions and what is likely 10
be accomplished in the way of solving
the great questions now before the coun-
try. il is the only decision that can be
reached by the people, who have come TO
the full realization of the necessity for
careful exercise Of power, constructive
leadership, serious craftsmanship dis
eliminating and deliberate judgment and
hard work Taft has all of these. lie
has marked out positive course of ac-
ton He has ignored mere eXpcdiency
and set himself TO great tasks with an
honest and sincere purpose. lie has
worked unsefishly for the common good
and has chosen his course only after
careful consideration. not for the promo
ton Of his own interests but for the
promotion Of the interests of the cOun-
try"
There will be no disaffection in New
Hampshire, according to Senator Gal
linger, who said to-day:
81 am in favor of the denomination and
reelection of President Taft. At the
present time the country Is l.. need of "A
| man of his experience and attainments,
and he is the logical choice OF the Re-
publican party. OF his personality one
| cannot speak in too high praise. He Is
! sincere, earnest in his efforts and strong
! I'm his convictions and he IL determined

right and o, the greatest beneht TO the
whole people, never swerVinG for any
less worthy consideration.
Situation a Peculiar One.
"The present situation is a peculiar
one. 1t marks a period OF transition,
and every day we are getting theories,
the result Of unrest stirred up by agita-
tion and fomented by artificial considera-
tions, without practical results Long,
hard, arduous work is ahead Of us, and
a man of Mr.. Taft's temperament, his
conservation and delibera teness, is ad-
mrably fitted for the task"
Senator Warren, Of Wyoming, is con-
vi..ced that there is every reason why
the Republican party should renominate
Mr.. Taft. He said to-day:
The Republican party will renominate
President Taft. 1t would be the height
Of folly TO swap horses in the middle
Of a stream. Such tricks as that can be
left to the Democrats. The party has
started in TO solve important and per-
picking problems. For this work, al
ready undertaken, the President is pecul-
iarly well htted himself, both by rea-
son of his long experience. in govern
ment and more particularly by reason of
his service on the bench. Il is only logi-
cal that the work should be carried to
completion by the one most familiar
with il. II IS one thing TO advance
theories and, by process OF agitation,
produce discomfort. 1t is another TO
work earnestly and with singeness Of
purpose and achieve results Any one
can foment trouble. There are few, very
few, who can solve great problems and
suggest constructive legislation. Presi-
dent Taft has shown himself capable of
the latter ability.
my state, Wyoming Is solidly for the
President, and the Taft sentiment all
through the West is growing by leaps
and bounds. We will nominate Mr.. Taft
with no material opposition, and what
is more important, we will elect him by
safe majority OF the electoral college"
