Washington. D. c.. Oct. 31.-As
President Taft comes near TO the
close of his long swing through the
West, both the friends and oppon- |
ents of the administration are watch
ing and trying to determine the sit
uation and the trend OF affairs as 1t
will bear upon the next campaign.
That the President thoroughly
| comprehends the situation is shown
by his notable speech in Chicago on
| last Monday night. The President,
after reviewing the work OF his ad-
ministration and the work that lay
before it, and also commenting upon
the criticisms of his policies and the
strength of his opposition, closed MS
speech by saying that he believed
that the sober sense Of the people OF
the country would continue in pow
er the party Of constructive states
manship which had accomplished so
; much to make this country what II
is. But he said, further, that IL the
majority of the people should deter
mine to shift the burden OF govern
ment upon the shoulders Of the OPP
. position party, that he woud hope
that the country would not suffer as
t much as it had suffered from Demo
p cratic policies in the past, but tna'
he would have the consolation OF
L knowing that after the people mac
S had one more trial of another Dem.
ocratic administration they woule
make haste to return the Republican
f party again to power.
= The Presidents enemies have SELF
s ed on to this statement by the Presl
n dent as an acknowledgment OF he
nublican defeat. In this they seem t.
# US very unwise. Indeed, the Iac
j. that the President not only realized
n the situation that the people m1gn
A possibly put in one more Democratl
y administration, but also his fran
,e statement that if they did they woui
# make haste to correct it after On
% administration is a most wise an
timely utterance. This declaratlo
m on the part of the President will D
sure to make thousands and tens
thousands who may have intended I
Ill vote the Democratic ticket pause an
a. consider we'll before taking such
" step fraught with such risks.

OF Governor Wilson of New Jerse
to the leading candidate for the DEM
