the National League ruled that the vic

cal vote Of the Democratic and the
Republican parties, while the con

vote of the men whose sound judg-
ment keeps them from being carried

vote in this country is far greater
than the radical It is characteristic
Of radical men to talk all the time
and to make big noise, while on the
other hand it is characteristic of con

than talking. Hence the radicals make

the conservative men will be found to
be greatly in the majority

The one and only reason the farm
ers can have for opposing President
Taft is on account of the proposed
Canadian reciprocity pact. If it were
not for that unfortunate thing he
would get almost every farmer vote.
Under no presidents administration
have the farmers prospered more than
the past three years under Taft. Farm
products have never been higher, pric-
ed, nor have greater imprOv ements
been made on farms and on farm
buildings, nor farm lands advanced
more rapidly in value. A president
may not be responsible for these
things but if they were lacking, he
would be the first to blame Now in
regard to reciprocity, President Taft
should not alone be blamed for thai.
Congress passed the bill after mature
deliberation by large majority Most
OF the democrats voted for it. Many
good and able men both republicans
and democrats, favored the measure.
believing it would be a good thing for
the country. Both Roosevelt and
Bryan favored it. That it would have
caused the greatest railroad building
in the history of the country is almost
certain, as every American road would
have pushed it's branches into Cana
dian territory. Only statesman
trade between the two neighbors
might ultimately have led to. Cana
da feared it and hence voted the way
she did. Our farmers believe reci-
procity would be bad for them and
they seem to have the arguments on
their side. For a time at least they
may have been at g disadvantage
competing with the Canadian farmer
raising small grain. But if it would
have compelled the American farmer
to diversity it might not have been an
unmiXed evil, but blessing in dis
guise
But granted that reciprocity is all
bad without a redeeming feature and
that the pact was all a mistake, is not
the president to be forgiven for one
mistake that he honestly made? Shall
all the good progressive acts of his
administration count, for naught
against this one mistake, if mistake
it was. We actually believe that the
farmers Of the Red River Valley are
too fair-minded and just to treat a
good president the way the loud
mouthed sellenaing politicians want
them to do.

President Taft is the nominee of the
Republican party for president. He
has been given this nomination more
fairly and squarely than any president
we have ever had, because said nomi
