LaFollette, or any other man with a tendency toward in- surgency, can make a better showing than the President"
 The other republican, MT. Dixon, a contractor of Cincinnati, said: q dc not believe that MT. Taft will receive the nomination, although his current prosecution of the Steel corporation in dicates that he is playing his heavy cards in order to attract the attention of the people.

post it in his box as usual.
Monday morning when his son.
George Bancroft, Jr., unlocked the box
to check up the securities before the
opening of business for the week, he
found that the only envelope there

under pain of instant trouble with the
police.
