The Nome daily nugget., 1911-09-30

ing the time Roosevelt was finishing out our myrtered McKinley's second term, and continued on through the four years he served after receiving the election of president at the hands of the people. The battle waged SO fiercely that a panic was brought on to check mate the war; but with all the strife it did not estop a republican victory with Taft as the leader in 1908: yet the intensity and bitterness has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since
 During the middle of the Taft regime it eliminated in giving to the house of representatives a democratic major ity. and cutting down the republican majority in the United States senate materially. whereas in the Roosevelt administration it took on the form of money panic.
 Today the line Is sharply drawn be- tween the regulars and the insurgents In fact the line of demarkation is an ever widening abyss into which one or the other must go down into despicable defeat. No one person is more keenly alert to the situation than President Taft and his daily utterances as they are waited to us via the wireless route drives this fact home.
 In the East President Taft has grown and. Is probably growing in strength today. In Nome. and Alaska. he Is gaining strength, we are led to believe from our dispatches he is grow ing stronger in the Middle West: but In the West-the Pacific coast states the attitude of the people Is such we cannot define 1t. nor will we be able to get correct line on that country until after the president has visited it's pee. pie and talked to them straight fror the shoulder. man to man. looking them squarely in the eye as he who expects t' court success in the extrcmn W aqt must do.
 Taft will be nominated at the hands of the republican party It may appear somewhat bold to make this blurt statement at this time: but conditions and the political harometers establish ed here and there over the country. sensitive enough to register the least pressure brought to bear point to the fnfInWfnF 4 rFr all mix-up in which many prominent politicians will be shelved forever and one day. who now stork through the land as the Great I Ann but after the battle, when the smoke has rolled away and the convention roll is called there will be sufficient number of delegate votes for the announcer to report "I find that William Taft has won the the count proves he has votes Co spare" This will mean that his administration is indursed and the only logical candidate has been selected [" lead his party to victory.
 There may be bolt after the roll | Ni' ''' Nil' ''iANfilAl'il~ Nilht or lt 7 IT ! will not be the first time. Looking back over the history of the party We find there have been such things happened in the ranks of hoth parties. In 1872 we read in history there was an organ ized republican bolt which came ta ignominious naught Then there was the democratic bolt in our own day 1896 which split the party into smith .reens and sent that party a wool gath ering so it has never been able Co come back So We find that judging the flu ture by the past there is nothing to he gained by bolting
 Taft and his party will stand or sink together. it will be the vote of the people. and to all our so-called insur gent republicans We will say: should | 'ou continue on your present road you 1 Sill be like the man without a country. | md before it is too late remove the beam from thine own eye.
