IT'S EITHER TAFT OR WILSON.

Either Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Wilson
will be elected
The issue is between the Republi-
can and the Democratic parties and
principles.
The so-called third party" is an
individual-not a party. 1t repre-
sents merely Rooseveltism. 1t is
obstructive" not progressive"
The self-created candidacy of Mr..
Roosevelt is in defiance OF revered
tradition; in violation of precedent;
is purely and solely personal; and
will be and should be Enthusiastically
censured.
Mr.. Roosevelt's candidacy is
founded on a broken pledge to the
people that he would not again seek
the presidential office; and on a
broken friendship for Mr.. Taft,
which dates from the time he found
that Mr.. Taft refused to be dominat-
ed or dictated to.
The purpose OF Mr. Roosevelt is
clearly apparent-it is merely to
defeat Mr.. Taft.
A vote for Mr.. Roosevelt Is worse
than wasted vote, for it simply
for the Democratic party.
What, then, are the plain, practi-
cal issues of the campaign?
What are we-YOU-to vote for?
You are to choose between the
policies-as well as the personalities
of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Wilson.
These TWO, and only these two.
(Because a Roosevelt vote is a Will
son vote.)
You are to say-by your vote
whether you prefer Taft, and Safe
ty-or Wilson, and Danger!
A vote for Mr.. Taft and his poll
cies is vote to continue our pres
ent prOsperity-to settle the tar
iff problem for all time by taking
it out of the hands Of politicians and
putting 1t on a business basis-to
strengthen and perfect our control
of the trusts-to uphold economy
and efficiency of government service.
To vote for Mr.. Wilson and the
Democratic party is to invite a re-
turn of exactly the same influences
that demOralized the entire country
in 1898.
Again we say, Let us hold fast
TO that which we know is good"

Miss Daisy, unheeding the cries Of her
puppies in the cracker box, was dodg-

soon as the light was turned on she
made quick spring and came out
with small mouse in her mouth.
Queen and Pattie, sweat rolling from
their wrinkled faces, cooled down and
became quiet Miss Daisy shook the
life out of the mouse and went back
to her puppies, which she stilled with

There is nothing that an elephant is
so much afraid of. The secret is that
in India a small mouse sometimes runs
into the elephants trunk and causes it
intense pain That's what we keep
Miss Daisy here for-to kill the mice.
Daisy looks after the elephants with
all the solicitude she shows in the care
of her blind puppies"
