Characterizing Each Other

President Taft recently said:
Roosevelt is not a Republican, but
represents a one-man party whose
chief advisers are the harvester and
steel trust magnates.'
Ex-President Roosevelt has said,
Taft now represents the bosses, and
the Republican party is composed of
them and the vested interests of
the country"
Line Of Cleavage
The line of cleavage between any
two parties is naturally the line
separating radicalism from conserva-
tism. With a third party in the field,
the question is but little changed

party of the people.
Will Judge Justly
Will second thought be harsh with
US because political bosses have aris-
en- in the party? Our party has
downed many corrupt boss in the
past and it will do it again If the
people will stay with it and help
to do il instead of DESERVING.
Will Weigh Possibilities
VIII a second thought entrust to
other hands the management OF poll
cies that affect our industrial life?
A reduction in cost OF living is east

the constant refrain. Will the Ameri-
can people turn away from the Re-
publican party to solve the Trust
Problem? Can the Progressive Of

other extreme, refuses to recognize
changes In industrial methods and
would place business back on the
basis of fifty years ago.
Compares Theories
VIII the American people entrust
the Tariff problem to other hands
than Republican? The Progressive Of
fers nothing new. The Democrat as
serts that protection of American in
dustry and American social condi-
tons are illegal as well as inexpedi-

difficult and delicate problem Of
American life, that which is most
intimately connected with all BUSH

Economist, j. b. Clark, characterizes

THE REPUBLICAN APPEAL
The WATCHW0RD FOR LAST DAYS OF CAMPAIGN-''A SOBER
SECOND THOUGHT"

What shall a Republican say that
may win friends for his cause as
the campaign draws to its close?
Campaign watchword-
President Taft has given the
watchword for these last days Of
the campaign in the telegram he sent
to a rally of business men in Gin
cinnati.-"Ours is an appeal to the
sober second thought of the Ameri-
can people," What a compliment to
the people; how characteristic Of
the man; how true!
Sober Second Thought
Every ground for discomfort has
been canvassed by searchlight and
microscope; every displaced or am
bilious office seeker has expounded
TO its limit the country's good and
its needs and now for the sober
second thought.
Scouts Experiments
VIII a second thought endorse a
man for leader who advocates a
single term? Little experienced IN
public affairs, at best, the Democratic
candidate would give place to another
lust when he becomes useful to the
country. And will a second thought
place in office a man who sets no lin
It TO the tenure OF office. II is an ex-
pertinent We do not care to try. Mr..
Edison, the inventor, says he is in
fer the Progressive plan because he
loves experiment. Are the Amrican
people with him?
Discards State Issues
VIII the sober second thought
change 80 radically the practice OF
popular government as our opponents
would have us do? II was the Re
publican Party that brought into ex-
istence the referendum. the initiative
and the recall for purposes of local
government In the State where 1t
fits the need. but a second thought
is enough TO show that the problems
OF national government are differ
ent In kind as well as degree and
that party that gave the plan its
origin is best qualified to Judge
when II is time 70 apply It to nation
al affairs. The Republican Party

country would be chosen In the several
districts and they could better express
the wishes Of the people concerning a
choice Of president and vice president
