CANTON LEADER
ARTHUR LINN,
Editor and Proprietor.
KINSEY K. B
Business Manager.
For President in 1912,
Shall the people or the money
power rule?

Captain Seth Bullock, u. S. Marshal
for South Dakota Is shouting for TAFT
with as much enthusiasm, apparent
", as he used to shout for President
Roosevelt, and it is somewhat diff
icult to Judge whether Seth Is shout
ing for man or Office. Seth says Pres
ident Taft threw a wet blanket over
insurgency In South Dakota by his
passage through the state. That wet
blanket has dried out and the repub-
licanism OF Abraham Lincoln and
Colonel Roosevelt is marching on to
victory. II President Taft had car
ried out the Roosevelt policies, as was
expected. he would have had no OPP
position to a denomination. The OPP
position TO his denomination Is forced
upon republicans because OF the Pres
dents own action, his speeches and
vetoes. Had he carried out the poll
cies Of the man who was responsible
for his nomination he would have had
the country at his back today. He
refused to carry out the platform
pledges and failed to meet the expec-
tations of the country, and Is alone
responsible for the opposition to his
denomination. From his past record
how AN the people find confidence In
the future, and 1t is this uncertainty
that is leading the party onto danger
u ground. The next six months will
decide the issue.
