Gov. Aldrieh for la Toilette.

Governor Aldrich of Nebraska, de
liyered an address of welcome to
President Taft at Lincoln. Monday. At
the same time paper published at
Fremont contained the following
statement from Gov. Aldrich: Il am
fer Senator La Toilette for President
of the United States and ] don't care
who knows il. l don't think President
Taft should be nominated and | am
entitled 10 that belief. lie still has an
opportunity to do something by way OF

MARTY and il he does there may be no
occasion for any other candidate, but
il he does not do better in the future
than he has done in the past he not
only will not .bc nominated, but he VIII
be defeated il nominated"
Perhaps Gov. Aldrich's statement
might have been different If he had
met and heard President Taft, before
giving out his ideas concerning La
toilette Shrewd observers are con-
WINGED that there has been vast
change of sentiment in the West since
the President left the East on his long
trip. Taft is a friend-lnaker, and no
one realizes it better than the poiitl-
clans who are causing the publications
of the country to be Hooded with La

for nearly three months past there has

Its location is on the vest bank OF

hereabout is concerned,
