greater apprehensions upon the part oi
not only individual workers. but also pa

1T is felt by many that the LEGISLATION

Says Republicans Are Divided.
'"Thc Republicans in congress are d.
vided. Neither the insurgents nor me
stand patters cordially support the preei-
dent. Al present. however. he is stronger
Than his party Undoubtedly Mr.. Taft
possesses greater strength TO-DAY IMAM ne
did cne year ago. His strength. how
ever. with his own party is negative
rather than positive. Among students and
independents he possesses large. IL not
enthusiastic following.
Whatever elements OF strength ne en-
ioys result from the belief that he is
honest and desires TO conduct the GOV
crnment along constitutional llnes nis

tion OF international controversies nave

the entire support OF large numbers IN
all polIJlca! parties President Taft de-
sircs the peace OF the world. and he sees
our nation foremost in those great poll
cies that make for worldwide moral and
political progress. Notwithstanding his
many admirable qualities, he surely tries

stand patters. condemned him for call
ing the special session Of congress TO pass
the Canadian reciprocity bill and pre-
the downfall Of the executive But II
has strengthened him and he is now in
position to compel his party 10 renomi-
nate him. The insurgents will oppose
him. the Cannon -Aldrich crowd will look
anXious!y for some Moses TO lead them
out of the wilderness. but Will sullenly
support him for the nomination.
The Tariff Question.
"The most interesting feature of the
political situation today is found In the
III the Republicans had answered the
demands OF the people and passed a fair
and honest tariff bill. Instead OF the
Payne Aldrich monstrosity, ii would not
now be torn with feuds and controversies
and ii would be entrenched in power for
years 10 come, But It's surrender TO Can
non and .Sldrich and the trusts aroused
:hc people against 1t and Its trickery
mas been repudlnted.
"The American people are tired of pro-
:ectiye tariff bills written by the trusts
and special interests.
THE passage OF the reciprocity bin
sounds the kncll OF high protection. An
enlightened public sentiment demanded
genuine tariff measure and the Demo-
cratic party will be the lenders in the
great reform. which will mean economic
and industrial progress for the American
people,
the selection of members OF his cabinet
The W!ckersham- Wiley controversy will
hurt the administration.
'The record Of the Democrats In the
house has been above criticism They
have strengthened the party and laid the
foundation for national success.
Wilson'S Popularity Grows.
Governor Wilson of New Jersey is
daily demonstrating that lie has the ele-
sympathy with the aspirations of the peo-
PIE. 1t looks az II the Democrats would
nominate him for the presidency, II So
ne VIII beat Taft
The Senate will soon be Democratic,
and with a Democratic president and a
Democratic congress the people will come
into their own.
La Toilette is a strong and picturesque
character. but he has hurt the cause
OF tho insurgents by his opposition to
reciprocity. The insurgents, while pro-
STess!ve in many things, are still welded
TO their idol OF protection. They are
strong for civil liberty. but are poor stu
dents OF economies. The battle of the
future is for industrial emancipation
and for individual industrial liberty. Be
cause the Democrats ring true upon This
| great problem they will win in the COM
| Ing national election.
THE senate will pass a wool bill re-
| ducinS the tariff on wool and wooden
| goods and in my opinion the house will
| accept IL and the president Will
sign the bill. The farmers free lis, bill
XII! also pass the senate and become n
law.
Notwithstanding the unrest, business
/ conditions are satisfactory"
