PRESIDENTS CHANCES
FOR REELECTION

Colonel Robertson of the Yaki-
ma Republic, who is nothing if not
frank in his utterances, gives, in the
following editorial. his opinion as to
the presidents chances for re-elec-
ton, which he evidently believes are
nil, even though he is an ardent ad-
mirer of Mr.. Taft, recognizing his
uprightness and ability, but also
realizing that he is not the sort of
man who inspires hero worship
Colonel Robertson says:
Mr. Taft finished his swing
around the circle last week. In MAX
ing it he travelled over 1000
miles, visited 2O5 cities and made
over 800 speeches.
1t is the opinion of this paper,
which admires the president and be-
lieves that his denomination and ell
ection would be good for the coun-
try, he has accomplished little or
nothing for his party on this long
journey and has not made himself
more popular than he was.
Nowhere on the entire trip did Mr.
Taft's appearance create notable en-
thusiasm. and nowhere did his visit
make any serious impression upon
the people.
The president is a good man. He
is an honest and capable public serv-
ant We ought TO have more men
like him in the high places.
Unfortunately for him and for the
quality in his makeup which enables
man to lead his fellows. He is a
good man but he doesn't stand for
anything.
He is good to the core and he is
also strong and determined, but he
doesn't know how to impress his fell
low men. He doesn't in any way ap-
peal to their imagination They
can't get into the habit of looking to
him for counsel or leadership. He
simply isn't the stuff that popular
heroes are made Of
Mr.. Taft will probably be renom-
mated. The politicians are agreed
that he cannot be defeated in the
convention and most republicans are
Of the opinion that the nomination
of any other man would be con-
fession of failure by the party which
would make next years campaign
hopeless from the start. Yet in spite
of his many excellent qualities and
a record of statesmanlike achieve
ments in office never equalled by any
other American president. Mr.. Taft
cannot lead his party to victory in
1912 unless the other party makes
some monumental mistake before the
campaign opens. Such mistake is
the republican party's one best
chance for success.
There is but one republican. view
ing the campaign from thi, distance,
who under such circumstances as
now prevail, could be elected
That man is Roosevelt. 1t is not
10 the credit of the party or of the
country that this is So for he is in
rIany respects the greatest charleton
of his age. but it is a fact neverthe-
less.
