was our own Senator Cummins of
Iowa, who was, perhaps, the most en-
thusiastic and pronounced hacker of
Senator LaFollette for president.
AT meeting held in April it was de-
cided with practical unanimity that a
candidate should be selected for pres
ldent from among the leaders of the
prOgressives. Sen. A. B. Cummins,
whose name had been mentioned as
possible candidate, took prominent
part I in the discussions. He said,
There is but one man who should be
selected as a progressive candidate,
and that is Senator LaFollette." When
asked concerning his own candidacy
he replied, Il shall not be candidate !;
it is out of the question:"
He added that he felt he ought to
say regarding Iowa that there would
be sharp contest between the stand
patters and the progressives, and that
no progressive candidate, himself, or
any other, could carry the state solid

number of the districts would be car.
ried for Senator LaFollette and added,
If he consents to make the race,
will do everything in my power in
Iowa to select as many delegates as
possible to support him in the con-
vention." Senator LaFollette further
states that before beginning a nation

could foresee the possibility as the
campaign progressed that either Cum
Minis or Roosevelt, or perhaps both,
might then be tempted to thrust in,
thus dividing the progressive strength
and defeat the real progress which a
clean cut campaign, even though los
ing one, would insure for progressive
principles" But he says, Senator
Cummins' word had already been
passed and his position affirmed by
his repeated assurances to others as
we'll as to myself. Indeed, in the last
interview l had with him at the close
of the reciprocity session, he said to
me, 4 want to say to you, Bob, before
going home that l think it impossible

can expect, Albert; am certain if you
will give me your best support that
shall have good representation out
of Iowa at the national convention
Soon after this, on the encourage
ment given him by Senator Cummins
and other progressive friends, Sen
ator LaFollette permitted call to be
drafted and signed by a number of the
leaders, as basis of presenting the
matter of his candidacy to the public.
He says: 'To my surprise Senator
Cummins declined to sign such call"

mind as to whether he did not indicate

ROOSEVELT ON TAFT.

The public career of President Taft
and also his private life, have been
such as to cause the admiration of
every one who will view them in their
true light. In every public position
he has filled he has made good and
built himself up in public estimation
OF all persons who have known him
and have had an opportunity to study
him as a citizen, friend and states
man, no one had greater opportunity
to claim an intimate acquaintance
with him than Mr.. Roosevelt. And
this is what Mr.. Roosevelt said about
President Taft:
"The true friend of reform, the true
foe of abuses, is the man who steadi-
ly perseveres in righting wrongs, in
warning against abuses, but whose
character and training are such that
he never promises what he cannot
perform; that he always does a little
more than make good what he does
promise, and that while steadily ad-
vancing, he never permits himself to
be led into foolish excuses which
would damage the very cause he
champions. In Mr.. Taft we have a
man who combines all these qualities
to a degree which no other man in our
civil life, since the civil war, has sur
passed. To flaming hatred of in
justice, to a scOrn of all that is base
and mean, to hearty sympathy with
the oppressed he unites entire disin-
terestedness courage both moral and
physical of the very highest type and
kindly generosity of nature which
makes him feel that all of his coun-
trymen are in very truth his friends
and brothers, that their interests are
his, and that all his great qualities
are to be spent with lavish freedom
in their service. The honest man of
means, the honest and law abiding
business man, can feel safe in his
hands because of the fact that the dis
honest man of great wealth, the man
who swindles or robs his fellows,
would not so much as dare to defend
his evil doing in Mr. Taft's presence.
The honest wageworker, the honest
laboring man, the honest farmer
the honest mechanic or small trader,
or man of small means, can feel that
in a peculiar sense Mr.. Taft will be
his representative, because of the very
fact that he has the same scorn of
the demagogue that he has for the
corruptionist, and that he would
front threats of personal violence
from a mob with the unqualing and
lofty Indifference with which he would
front the bitter anger of the wealth.
est and most powerful corporations.
Broad though his sympathies are,
there is in him not the slightest tinge
of weakness. No consideration of
personal interest, any more than fear
for his personal safety, could make
him swerve hairs breadth from the
course he regards as right in the in
terest of the whole people.

wen manufactured in the United States
but what does it cost to bring this
about? Our markets are gone, our
business suspended and general
stagnation is found throughout the
country. The man who had position
with sufficient wage to support him
self and family is walking the streets
looking for employment and earning
nothing to purchase goods at any
price. Is there a man in Denison who
is unable to earn wages enough to
support himself comfortably and not
have surplus at the end of the year?
Would you prefer to purchase goods
at low price and not have the money
or credit to purchase them? Would
you rather not earn good wages and
pay the price yon now have to pay? 1t
is impossible to expect that high
price can be secured for what we sell
and that low price will buy what we
must purchase. Every one should un-
derstand that this condition cannot
come about We may f1atter ourselves
that we will gain by change of ad-
ministration, but we will find out diff
ferently after we have made the ex-
pertinent and are suffering on account
of our mistake. 1t is no time for re-
publicans to desert their standard and
to take up with new and untried
theories or those which have proved a
snare and delusion in the past Why
not let we'll enough alone?

their entrance from doors at the back

NO actresses appear. Although
not actually forbidden, it is consid-

SECOND BASE MADE FAMOUS.
"Pop" Arson, Old Time Leader, Tells
Story Of Players WHO Have Won
Renown at Middle Station.

Pop Arson, the great old player, re-
lates the following story:
-Four men have made second base
famous" says Arson. They are Lar
ry Lajoie, Johnny Evers, Eddie Collins
and Fred Merkle.
THE kind Of work they have done
to make second base famous differs.
Merkle's is far separated from that of
the other three. Merkle made it ia,
nous by forgetting It.
But Merkle had nothing on Kelly.
Why, Kelly would often forget to
touch it. He would cut across from
first 70 third when he thought he
could get away with It.
whenever we would start a series
away from home Kelly would get in
his best work. OF course, they had
only one umpire then, and If he hap
pened to see Mike cut second and
called his attention to it, Mike would
pass the matter off by quietly explain
ing that the park was new to him and.
he did not know where second base
was located"
