1nent, and blind what that means TO
the toer the farmer the small merchant and the average
business 1t much the tariff as II Is the IN
visible influences that sway the mind OF Mr. Taft and make
hun really a dangerous Chief Executive
Mr. RoOsevelts desire third term, has eX-
IRENE views his radical platform combined with the
scordant elements that behind him. give patriotic
citizen pause. If Col Roosevelt may serve third term
why should Col Roosevelt lifeterm pres
dent? he has sregarded and attempted 10 overthrow
precedent that is the unwritten law of the land While
there little danger of bis election ne successful
would be calamitous.
