that the issue is clearly drawn on both

Praise of the President.
Judge woodmansee lauded President
Taft. responding to the toast of Abra-
ham Lincoln. He said in part:
"Ohio is proudly and solidly, now
and ever, for William howard Taft
His neighbors who know him best ad-
mire and love him most.
Cincinnati has given three Presidents
TO our country. Ohio has furnished six
of the seven republican Presidents elected
since Lincoln - Grant. Hayes, Garfield
Harrison. Mckinley and Taft-an array
Of which We are justly proud. We have
learned to believe that none of these il
lustrous sons of the Buckeye state was
better equipped to fill that great office
under conditions such exist today
than is Mr.. Taft.
- concede that he is not practical
politician. His interest in his own per-
sonal success has been pushed aside by a
steadfast devotion to public duty. His
obligation to his party has been made
subservient to his obligation to his coun-
try. His friends seek for him the in
dorsement of his party and OF his coun-
trymen upon a record that is an open
book of duties we'll performed.
Has Demonstrated His Bravery.
He has been brave enough to stand
for justice between labor and capital;
brave enough to combat any political
heresy however popular, and however
great the public clamor in it's behalf;
noble enough to demand a square deal
for the most humble. and patriotic
enough to stand up for his country as
against all the world beside.
Lincoln in time of war battled for
peace at home. Taft in time of peace
Is struggling for the peace of the world
Lincoln stood for the Constitution, and
he called out the army and the navy to
defend it. Taft stands for the Consti-
tuition, and he calls upon the lofty
patriotism Of his countrymen to honor
and defend 1t.
