Every One Repudiated.

Every one of these nine National
Committeeman has been repudiated
by his home voters. Not one of them
will succeed himself on the Ma
tional Committee. Each OF them
represents a State which at the re-
cent primaries has declared over
whelmingly against Mr.. Taft. The
nine States, in the aggregate, have
302 delegates in the convention, of
which 25S are for Roosevelt, and
only 81 for Taft. The 9 committee
men are for Mr.. Taft, the delegates
from their States are to l against
him

on Roosevelt's desperate bid for
the nomination:
"a man has. indeed. the right

past success. There are times when
the people demand that a great

sane interpretation of speech. would

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
Our Courageous PresidcnG Not
Afraid to- Stand up for SaHe
Government Against F'ads

In this day of political trimming
to every whimsical wind that blows.
it is certainly refreshing to find one
man who is a candidate for office,
who does not cater to the demands
of those who claim to represent
the advanced governmental thought,
but who in reality are seeking to
establish new kind of govern
ment among us. President Taft's
strength lies in two directions:
First. his ability to secure remed-
ial legislation along sane and pro-
gressive lines. Second. his brav-
cry, which cause him to oppose the
present whimsical demand of a
talkative minority.
His strength was never better
illustrated than in Ohio the other
day. when in the midst of a hot
bed OF progressives, he denounced
in plain dignified way the prin-
ciples of the recall of judges and
judicial decisions. President Taft
is the only candidate who has the
nerve to say what he thinks and
who has confidence in the American
