CAN TAFT WIN:
If Nominated, Will He Recover East
ern States Lost Last Year:

From now until June next, two
questions will be presented to the re-
publicans of the country, with IN
creasing insistence. They are insep-
arabic and upon the answers TO
them both depends the solution or the
tariff, railroad, trust and conserVa-
ton problems-the political control
of the country for four years.
Will President Taft be nominated!
If he is, will he be elected?
These two questions have confront
ed political Washington for months.
They have been carefully weighed IN
the light OF the last election, the re-
turns for which are worth searching
analysis.
In 1910 the democrats carried ~
States, of which "a have democratic
governors, while % states now have a
majority of democrats in Congress.
But it must be noted that although
the standpatters lost some eighty
seats in Congress in the landslide,
the progressives doubled their repre-
sentation in the lower House. Moth
ing presents the situation SO clearly
as a table showing, in detail, the situ-
alton developed by the last election,
with the electoral votes based on the
new appOrtiOnment:

LETTING THE OTHER FELLOW
WORRY.

Champ Clark is fairly typical of the
cratic good times. Been having such
fine tine with friends and neighbors
in Pike says he, that haven't had
time to worry about politics" He is
on his way to visit his old Kentucky
home, humming a tune as he goes;
and the old democratic fiddlers will
be there to greet him. Probably Bob
Taylor, who has been known to leave
his horse hitched at a Tennessee
camp meeting and walk fifty miles to
party over in Kentucky, will also
drop in with his fiddle under his arm.
There is spirit of harvest cheer
generally evident among the demo-
Gratis. It has been many long years
since they looked so happy. Neigh
bors had a period of guinness, did
little visiting, and when they did
meet talked only sadly of old times.
Now it is the other fellows, who
proudly displayed Autographs of re-
publican presidents in their parlor
windows for SO many years, who wear
long faces. They are the ones who
meet on the sidewalk, shake their
heads and pass on, as they catch the
strains of Turkey in the Straw or
pigeon on the Gate from neighbour
hood gatherings in bright democratic
homes along the way, where the fall
cider flows.
No; like Champ, the democrats are
not doing the worrying about politics
now. 1t was high time that the other
fellows had taste of it.-St. Louis
Republic.

Arizona into the union as states.
The resolution provided that the re-
call proposition should be submitted
to the people of Arizona and that the
majority should decide whether 1t
would be wise to retain it in the Ari-
IONA constitution or not. The Dill
was so framed that neither Congress
nor the President would have to go
on record as to the merits OF the re-
call. President Taft gave every con-
gresham present to understand he
would sign this bill. The committee,
republicans and democrats alike, left
the White House with definite un-
derstanding to this end.
These members made the state
ment on the floor of the House that
the President had agreed to sign the
bill, and it was passed by both houses
of Congress. But the President
changed his mind and vetoed the bill.
fIe has not yet explained why.

(Names of states which were re-

cratic in 1910, in capitalist
To secure his reelection, President
Taft must recover not less than sixty
electoral votes from states carried
by the democrats in 1910, without
losing any votes in the progressive
states which then stayed in. the re-
publican column. Can he do it? Can
he get back his native state of Ohio?
Can he develope any strength in the
states on the Atlantic coast which left
him last year, without making cor
responding losses in the west?
Not counting his own state, there
are only five states, all on the Atlantic
seaboard, where he can expect to
make any considerable recovery
Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Jersey and New York. But there
are nine states in the middle west
and far west, where the revolt against
the Payne-Aldrich tariff, the Wicker
sham railroad policy, Ballingerism
and Lorimerism menace the success
of any standpat candidate for any Of
flee. These states are Washington,
Oregon, California, Illinois, Kansas,
Nebraska, North Dakota and Wiscon-
sin. Now, the number Of electoral
votes in the two groups is nearly
equal and it is to the western group
that the President is turning his ener-
gies. He has paid scant attention to
New England; he barely stops in New
York and Pennsylvania. Ohio and
Indiana he does not consider at all.
Breathing defiance he is going into
the "enemy's country on another
tour of "apology.' Two years ago he
apologized for the Payne-Aldrich law
and now he will apologize to the
farmers for removing the protective
duties on their products, through the
canadian reciprocity law, while he
maintained the cost of clothing,
blankets and carpets by his veto of
the La Toilette wool bill. For six
weeks he will lay aside his executive
duties to invite the west to repudiate
the course of it's progressive repre-
sentatves in Congress. The last tour
was followed by increased progressive
strength, in Congress and the state
capitols. Is it likely that the voters
have so changed the result this time
can be other than it was before?

THE DEFEAT OF RECIPROCITY.

The defeat of Taft's reciprocity
treaty by the Canadians comes as a
crushing blow to- the president and
his policies, and in one sense is a
deserved rebuke to the man who has
with his vetoes, set congress at de-
fance.
The Canadian reciprocity bill was
in our opinion good measure. 1t
opened up field for larger trade
for the American producer. 1t would
have proven beneficial. especially to-
the American stock raiser, but while
it abolished the high duties on farm
products. it did not go as far as it
should have done, and reduced the
duties on articles that the American
farmer consumes.
The democrats and progressive re-
publicans tried to remedy this by
passing what is known as the farm
ers' free list bill, which would have
admitted one hundred articles used
largely by farmers, free of duty into
this country. This bill, which pass
ed both branches of congress, was
killed by Taft's veto on the tlimsey
excuse that nothing should be done
W I'LL Liz lttl Ill ulIll CuC 1eA1 Ill Do1A "
he had appointed made report.
This farmers free list bill was in
tended as a supplement- to the Cana
dian reciprocity bill, although it was
not connected in any manner with
that bill.
President Taft was willing that
the production Of the farmer should
come into this country free of duty,
but that the lumber trust, the leather
trust, the shoe trust, the paper trust,
and the wire trust should be protect
ed against Canadian competition. His
position was indefensible and now
that Canada has defeated his pet
measure the president is left child
less.
The result of the election means
that Canada will now close her doors
as far as possible against the impor-
tation Of American products. She
has voted to carry out a Canadian
system of protection similar to the
American system. She will buy her
foreign made goods in England, from
which country she can import them
free Of duty, while America is handi-
capped with a high tariff on the. arti-
cles she imports into this country
