A PASTORS Preference.

Rev. Wallace NJ. Short, pastor or
The First Congregational church, OF
Sioux City, delivered an address this
week on sociological Problems before
The brotherhood organizations OF the
Congregational and Methodist Epls'
copal churches and the Emmetsburg
Civic club. 1t would appear that this
was proper place for man to speak
of his political beliefs and preferences,
and Mr.. Short did so speak. Following
his address, a reporter for the Sioux
City Journal interviewed him, TO
this effect:
'sDo YOU think a fight should be
made in Iowa and other states to de-
feat the denomination of President
Taft?" Mr.. Short was asked.
NO CHANCE FOR TAFT.
II do: why, if Taft shall be renomi-
mated there will not be the shadow OF
q chance for his election" was the
reply.
HDo you think his administration
has been yicious?" was the next IN
quiry.
"Ob, / think Taft is thoroughly
honest man who was good lleuten'
ant under Roosevelt, but lie mas nov

Mr.. Short said he would not Vote
for Taft, although he had been a re
publican all his life.
''If it is to be Taft ana wilson,
will vote for Wilson," he said. III TIT

nominate Mr.. Taft again he will be
nominated, and if the standpat or
robber tariff barons, who call them
selves democrats, are able to nomin
ate Harmon of Ohio, they will do IT,.
Taft and Harmon represent the
hopes of the tariff robbers.
LaFollette and Wilson represent
the progressive hopes Of the nation

people, and the progressive spirit Will
sweep the country.

That was one campaign, At least,
when the LEADER was not support

loyalty.
Then There were other times when
the LEADER did not support the boss

we believe some viii recall the cam
paign OF 1908 when things, political,
grew hot and hotter and finally ended
with the defeat OF the Senator and
The elevation OF Mr. Crawford, and
this much may be sufficient To refresh
the mOmory OF Editor Roberts Of
Pierre as TO the LEADERS support or
Mr.. KiUtredge.
Judge John h. Garland OF Sioux
Falls and the LEADER man were the
only South DakOtan's honored with
an invitation from President Hill OF
the Great Northern railway to attend
the launching of the great steamship
in February 1904. Senator McCumber
of North Dakota was not on our special
train from st. Paul to New York,
consequently the pension question
was not discussed nor was it discussed
at any time with McCumber person
ally, but McCum ber being an old
friend Of the writer, sent the LEADER
man copy of the rules required in
making application for specia in
crease in pension, and there the mat
ter ended. Under the senate rules at
that time a man had to swear that he
was without means Of support and
couldn't support himself, and the
writer was not in that class, and this
may be sufficient to prove to Editor
Roberts that Editor Linn's pension
had nothing to do with his turning
against Mr. Kittredge.
Editor Roberts is Il pretty smooth
young man but he seems to have a
very defective memory, for we be-
lieve there is not another man in the
state that would accuse the LEADER
Editor Of deserring Mr.. Kittredge, or
for having ever supported him from
the day he jui7pe1& Ioo Senator Petit
crews shoes when the senator walked
out of the St. Louis convention on

is good name for the mixture, be-
sides it represents our new style OF
political discussion, which we believe
Editor Roberts will appreciate. Send

The People are Progressive.

The republican party must be pro-
