Col. Palmer,s Views.

Washington Ia, Press: Col. Palm
er is one of the best natured men. He
came into the office last Saturday
and talked with US for several hours.
We could not help admiring his excel.
lent and we'll balanced temperament.
Col. Palmer would make one of the
best governors that Iowa has ever
had, and the Press will do all In its
power to boost him for that office.
He deserves it. He would honor the
office rather than the office honoring
him, as is many times the case. He
really is a modest man. When asked
concerning this move favoring his
nomination, he acted embarrassed
and said, 81 don't think there is
much in it" He told how he had din
ed with President Taft during the
presidents trip through Iowa. and
how pleased he was to have the OPP
portunlty
Why, Taft is just one of the best
men | ever met He is not what you
would think President would be,
but just big, jolly fellow. He made
us boys feel right at home. The meal
was most informal. The President
commenced to eat and Just shoveled
the food down; did not say much, but
helped himself to what he wanted, as
did everybody else.
They say that La Toilette will
push Taft hard in the convention. Let
met tell you what | think I don't
think that La Toilette will have any
show at all. He will not receive one
fourth the vote OF the convention.
They talk about this break in the
Republican party being analogous
with the birth of the party. away

lous. will tell you what it looks like
to me. 1t puts me more in mind OF
the time when Greeley ran for Presi
dent and lot of Republicans, as
well as Democrats, supported him
They could not make it win, though
do not believe there is any more
merit in this break in the Republic
can party than there was in the
break at that time"

The RECENT ELECTION.

The recent elections as a whole
We're very satisfying to the Republic
can party and to the party leaders.
Commenting on the returns, Charles
Nagel and Senator Cullom say:
Charles NageL secretary of com
merce and labor, Republican national
committeeman from Missouri and in
charge of the Chicago headquarters
for several weeks during the presiden-
tial campaign of 1910, said:
| am very much gratified indeed,
with the results,which in my estima-
ton establish a strong trend in the
right direction. The returns from
Maryland, New Jersey, New York
and Rhode Island are most significant
because there the national questions
We're brought to the front and the Re-
publicans won or certainly gained.
While Foss was reelected governor
of Massachusetts by small MAORI
ty the result of course, shows that
the state itself is absolutely safe
for the Republicans
The results In Ohio are purely local
and will have no effect upon the
President in the next campaign The
result in New York registers reac-
ton from last year, most decided
one. In New Jersey the results were
significant because the governor is
an avowed candidate for the presi
dency and took very active part in
the campaign. On the whole, the re
suits yesterday will have decided
effect on next year and the decision
of the voters is entirely satisfactory
Senator Selby NJ Cullom of Illinois
said
Taking the outcome as a whole,
think 1t may be conservatively stated
that the Republicans can have thu
better of it. Nothing could be more
decisive than the carrying of thu
| legislatures in New York and tn,
election of governor in Maryland
! We even gave Gov. Foss close cal
and reduced his plurality from VIVA
he had a year ago.
/ There is no doubt in my mind tina
/ the tide has turned in favor of tn
Republicans. The people have com
to realize the folly of taking up wit
the half-baked theories of demagogues
The Republicans are winning becaus
they are right and always have beer
II believe that yesterdays election
means that President Taft will b
reelected and that the Republican
will hold the senate and regain tn
house of representatives.

tariff bills passed by the extra SEES
sion of congress. He understood
we'll that these vetoes were not ap-
proved by the rank and file OF his
own party. Much Of his speech
making was devoted to an effort TO
Justify these vetoes. Persons who
have followed the developments Of
the tour say that while he probably
did not succeed in convincing the
Republicans of the west, he did the
right thing in vetoing these bills; ne

tariff venture, he will enter the ma
tional convention and the campaign

His demand that the senate ratify
the arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain and
the United States and France, per
sons who made the trip with him say,
was cordially supported everywhere
The prevailing view now is that the
senate will not dare withhold ratifl-
cation of these treaties. If the Presi-
dent had not gone direct to the peo-
pie with his demand for ratifi-
cation. his friends say, the senate
would have rejected the treaties, or
would have SO amended them as to
make them practically worthless.

The country and the President are
benefited by the Presidents trip. The
people know him better, and know ex-
actly what to expect from him in
forthcoming political struggles. He
is better acquainted with the country
than ever, and therefore is better able
to administer the manifold duties If
his Office. The reports from insurg-
ent states show very clearly that Mr..
Taft has strengthened the Republican
party by mingling with the people.
That he has increased his own popu-
larity is equally certain.

scarcely less SO. These, happily, the

Next came the subtle proposition of a
