One Of the most encouraging fac

writes Chicago merchant, that Mr..

in the last forty years and l believe
that he deserves reelection"
I'VE do not need any change in the
presidency" writes Wisconsin con
tributor. land in my opinion we are

dent Taft is an honest. able and con-
scientious man and he deserves and
will.receive reelection. In this local
ity the sentiment Is coming his way"
Hundreds of letters contain similar
expressions of opinion. They show
in every section a strong feeling that
President Taft's splendid administra-
ton has made deep impression and
that people do not want a change.

DESERTS PROF. WILSON.
Why Democratic Editor Declares for
President Taft.

J. Holman Buck, the Democratic
editor of the Western Nevada Miner
at Nina, in voicing his allegiance to
the Taft administration, is not sparing
in his criticisms of the actions and
policies of Governor Woodrow Will
son, the Democratic nominee, or OF
Roosevelt. Buck Is Democrat Of the
old school and readily sees the error
of his ways in supporting the Demo.
cratic nominee for the presidency. In
speaking of Wilson he has the fol.
lowing to say:
"A man utterly untried in the affairs
Of government; whose administration
as governor. OF New Jersey has proven
failure and farce; whose views
have been contracted by a lifetime
spent in the narrow confines of the
school room; whose associations have
naturally been the classes rather thar
the masses and whose radical views
and vagaries outrival those Of Debbs
and Emma Goldman and that no more
represents real Democracy than does
the frothtngs Of Roosevelt. The is
sues then are Taft, conservatism, the
preservation of the constitution anG
a free Pepublican form of government
versus Wilson, socialistic radicalisn
and the turning over of established
form of government to a mobocracy
Believing as we do we would be un
lust to ourselves and false to princi
pies and the public did we not aligr
ourself with Mr. Taft and the princi
MES he represents. We hone that II

torious and shall lend everv effort a

LODGES BULLS EYE SHOTS
Massachusetts Senator states Some
Truths In Few Words.

When Senator Lodge of Massachu.
Ohio recently he uttered some truths
In few words. Here are few of the
sentences which ought to be read and
remembered:
i believe most profoundly that now.
as In the past. the success of the Re-
publican, party is for the best inter-
ests OF the people of the United
States"
The Democratic house presented
the wooden schedule in form which
would put an end to the wooden manu-
features OF the United States and
would slaughter the product of the
American sheep raiser"
III you desire to strike down the
sheep and wooden Industries Of the
United states. give the Democrats full
power, and you will have it done; II
you do not, the only way to preserve
them is to elect a Republican congress
and a Republican president"
III the proposed constitutional
changes should be carried into eff.
feet they would completely revolution
lie our system and theory Of govern
ment, as we have known it since the
beginning of history"
All the progress that has been
made in this country in SO years has
been by the Republican party"
THE Republican party has always
been the party of sane and rational
progress under the Constitution"
THE Republican party stands for lib
erty as against license; for order as
against confusion; for loyalty to the
great principles of justice and freedom
which have been handed down to us
from the days of Washington; in one
word, 1t stands for the constitution
which Marshall interpreted and which
Lincoln saved"
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1912-10-24

Mr. Roosevelt's explanation Is un-
worthy OF consideration for two rea-
sons. In the first place. man In
his position from whom advice and
suggestion had been sought by the
not to admit having hastily endorsed
reciprocity without knowing what he
was doing. As matter of fact. Mr..
Roosevelt's letters and speeches
above quoted are exactly in line with
his record.
More than this, Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
PLANTATION is an insult to the intelli-
gent voter because in his letter to
President Taft he says, II firmly be-
lieve in free trade with Canada"
This is going farther than President
Taft ever went. because Mr.. Taft's
idea of reciprocity was to obtain val
liable consideration in return for con-
cessions granted. Roosevelt's free
trade proposition II enacted into law
would break down all the barriers
between Canada and the United
States and would cause tremendous
financial loss to American farmers. n y
The fact is that Mr.. Roosevelt was
heartily in favor Of reciprocity and
Of free trade with Canada until he
made his tour of the west before the
Republican national convention, when
he found that reciprocity was unpop-
ular. Then he shifted. His pres
emit attitude demonstrates his utter
insincerity and shows that he is ready
to do anything to catch votes. He
is ready to endorse anything that he
believes is popular and to condemn
that which he thinks Is unpopular
without regard to his own convictions
or wise governmental policies. The
manner in which he has suddenly re-
versed himself in the hope that by
30 doing he would gain a few votes is
an example Of demagogism thorough
~ typical Of his character.
It Is also important to remember
that II 4 Democratic president should
be elected reciprocity with Canada
would soon be an accomplished fact.
inasmuch as the Democrats in the
house of representatives voted for 1t
and also voted against repeating the
law which had been passed Demo-
cratic reciprocity is the kind that
the Canadian newspapers are hoping
Canada will secure. because it will
mean that Canada will get everything
from the United States and give moth
ing in return.

WAITING TO SHIP
WOOL TO THE U. s.
Australian Sheep Ralsers Anxious for
Democratic VIC
tory.

From the GLASGOW, Mont, Independent.
The Hon. James Bryce. British am
bassador to the United States, has
been in Australia this summer, and in
a recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed the hearts Of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros
pect of an early reduction in the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted. would mean large increase in
the wool experts from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador Is right. That is
just what will happen If the wool tariff
is lowered. and the Montana sheep
men know. because they remember
what happened in 1894 when wool
wasn't worth anything and when sheep
were worth even less. When the Dem
ocratic members of the ways and
means committee of the house, in the
recent session of congress, presented
their wool bill for consideration, they
claimed that it would increase the i'm
ports of wool into America by 1907
600, 900 pounds.
But there can be no increase in the
consumption of wool and the Amer
lean grower is wondering what would
become Of 190.000.000 pounds of his
wool under the Democratic tariff laws.
Nearly 100000 of that 10000, 900 is
grown right here in Montana. It Is no
wonder that England is urging the
election of Democratic congress and
that London looks with favor upon the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.
