HADLEY'S UNFORTUNATE PAR.
ALLEL.

! In explaining his desertion of Roose-
welt and his swearing of allegiance to
Taft, Gov. Hadley hit upon an unfortu-
nate figure of speech, so that his words
may be distorted by his opponents at
the present time. Likening himself to
the commander of the Republican ship
in his state of Missouri, ''the fifth larg-
est Republican state in the union and
The largest Republican state west of
the Mississippi" as he says, Hadley de-
clares he should not be among the first
to abandon the ship, nor at all unless
fully convinced that it is going down"
In the last few words is the unfortunate
parallel. Those who so desire will prob
ably place the construction on the words
that Hadley was ready to stay with the
