The Taft Way.

President Taft has refused to make
personal campaign, but has not hesi-
tated 10 say in print and in addresses
on special occasions that he expects
to be re elected. He has never lost
faith in the good sense OF the Ameri-
can people. He knows that they can
not long be misled or cherish a delu
sion. He has stood severe test since
Col. Roosevelt began bitter campaign
against him. He has not at any time
since his nomination been appologetic
or disposed 10 press his own claims.
He grows more popular with thought,
full people as they contemplate the
possible results OF the bitter fight
made upon him and as they observe
his digpifed and commendable course
as the nominee OF great political or
ganiza,ion. He has been conservative
careful and modest in speaking Of his
record and Of his claim upon public
confidence.

mitted himself to a quiet and dignifed

Fellow Republicans:
The battle for the retention OF Re
publican supremacy, which means the
continuance Of honest, progressive
government in Missouri, is now on,
and in this contest We hope that every
Republican will do his full duty Oar

spirit of the times and is broad
enough to meet the approval of all
good citizens, My record as a
citizen and as a public official is a
proper subject for your consideration
ana as to this record | invite your
closest scrutiny, My associates on

of safe and sane government and is
therefore entitled to the active and

we do, confident hat a full and fair
consideration of the entire situation
is all that is necessary to convince
trom tha' our cause is just and should
be sustained. If we present a solid
fighting front to the common enemy
there can be no question as to the re-
suit There can he no reason for Re-
publicaus To divide their forces in this
state, Each and every one OF us has
the same end in view luc toward This
cul we have been battling for moro

have partially triumphed, now that
we are jus emorgrg from the wilder.

promised land Of final triumph IN

and give the state back into tho con-

Excise laws have been and will be

cities and the right of our citizens to
cast their ballots and have them prop

have been enacted for the better pro.
lection of labor: for safeguarding Ct
the health and lives of employees in
our mines and factories; the blight Of
political influence has been removed
from our eleemosynary institutions:
better roads and highways have been
built throughout our state; the bank.

safeguarded that not a single dollar
has been lost TO depOsitors during the

campaign and arranged to make
speeches all over the country. So far
he has been considerate enough to
avoid personal illusions. President
Taft has publicly acknowledged his
approval OF the attitude Of Governor
Wilson toward his chief opponent.
Neither Taft or Wilson have gFatifed
the yearning Of Col. Roosevelt for
personal controversy. In fact both OF
them have seemingly dismissed him
as an opponent worthy Of serious con
sideration. They are pointing out the
wide differences between the Demo
cratic and Republican parties and are
thus bringing the people to view grea,
measures WITH smore interest than they
could view men.
II the American people abandon
the minor matters that have been in
jected into the pending campaign and
become thoroughly aroused TO the i'm
portance and significance Of such
questions as the protective tariff system,
the regulation Of trusts, the supremacy
and dignity Of our government, the
sacredness Of our constitution and Of

REFORM IN JUDICIAL PRO.
CEDURE.

We recognize the necessity for re.
form In the judicial procedure Of the
state so that cases may be decided
upon their merits, without the delays
and reversals incident to decisions
upon technicaities not affecting the
merits Of the litigation. Bills for the
accomplishment Of such result have
been favored by the Republican mem.
bers in the last two legislatures and
defeated by the Democratic members
Of those bodies.

LAWS TO BE ENACTED.

In carrying out the high purpose Of
true government, we advocate the en-.
aclment Of workmen's compensation
laws; Of laws further regulating the
hours Of labor of women and chill
dren; of laws protecting the lives and
health and safety of those engaged in
industrial occupations, and repeating
that part of the factory inspection sys.

Champ Clark finds it more agreeable
10 talk about the record Of the congress

he gets the worst Of it.

sents greater advantages than Mis-

dissemination Of these facts, so well
known to US, to largely increase the
population and wealth of our great
state.
The Taney County republican., 1912-10-03
RECALL OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

We are opposed TO the recall OF
public officials, and especially to the
recall Of judges We believe the meth
DDS for removal from office of public
officials who have been dcrclict In the
performance of their official duties
should be made prompt, simple and
effective, but we do not believe that
men should be removed from public
office except upon a judgment Of
wrong-doing, in accordance with the
forms Of law, and we believe that
more harm than good will result by
removal upon a mere judgment OF un.
popularity as determined by a popu.
lar vote.
SUPERVISION OF CORPORATE
STOCKS AND BONDS.
We believe there should be a super.
vision Of the issuance aud sale Of

we unqualifedly indorse and approve
our national ticket headed by William
II. Taft and the state ticket headed by
John G. Mckinley, together with the
other state, congressional, district and
county candidates.
The Republican party is today a
party OF progressive spirit and con.
structiye craftsmanship; in the past
it has grasped and solved the great
problems of government in conformity
with the general welfare of the people.
