last few sears has been broken up.
Amos Without exception, the people
have refused to follow Rooseyels
since the, cololel's speech at coium-

the denomination Of President TAFT.
Under the leadership OF F. W. Esta-
brook, national committeeman, who
has drawn around him most Of the
progressive element in the state, the
campaign Is being carried on with a
rush, and the president is rapidly
gaining in favor. as evidenced by the
tremendous welcome accorded him
last week, and b The formation Of
from twenty 10 thirty Taft clubs in
the towns and cities. q I,
"The nation looks with interest on
the work in New Hampshire for this
state has been regarded as being ex-
tremeiy radical. TO some extent this
is a misconception due to local condi-
tons especially to a feeling against
the domination Of the state by the
Boston and Maine railroad, which ex-
listed for years until four years ago.
The people Of the state should mot be
considered as having, lost their heads
nor as being fooled by the political
ndstrlms now SO widely advocated.
Governor Bass has lost in this cam
paign most Of his personal following
OF two years ago. of the i've mem

nominate Colonel Roosevelt. Almost
without exception the lawyers Of the.

Why He Was a "Sueker,"-William
E, Mason of Chicago. at banquet Civ
en- to lawyers and politicians, was
called upon for story and told the
following:
"A well-known Illinois politician was
speaking at the same banquet with a
governor of New Jersey some years
ago. The Jersey governor went into
exhaustive figures as to the wealth,
agricultural and manufacturing re-
sources of his own state. In fact he
seemed to lack terminal facilities, for
he talked about forty minutes.
Before he sat down he said: am
to be followed by silver-tongued or
ator from Illinois, and hope before he
sits down he will tell us why they are
called Suckers"
Our friend from Illinois said: Mr..
Toastmaster, when heard the descrip-
ton of the agricultural products OF
New Jersey l was almost ashamed to
come from the corn belt of Illinois, and
when he told US of his states manu-
factures, it made Illinois look small,
but I noticed, Mr.. Toastmaster, that
you and the gentlemen about you
seemed incredulous-in fact, I could
tell by your expression that you did
not believe a word he said, want to
say to the governor of New Jersey that
/ believe every word he said, and that
is the reason 1 am called sucker

GOVERNOR ON RACING.
Enforcement Of the Law 10 Up 10
Charleston People.

II am opposed to gambling in any
FORM" said Governor Cole L. Blease
last night when asked by a reporter
what was his attitude towards the race
meeting which the Charleston Fair and
Racing association proposes to open
next month at Palmetto Park. Il love
to see two roosters fight, but without
gaffs. ] love a game Of cards, but let
it be a good, clean game. / don't pro-
pose to come down here during the
races to ferret out the gambling, but
/ expect the sheriff and the citizens to
do their duty According to the act
passed by the legislature against
gambling, any citizen can go before a
magistrate and swear out warrant
against a man for gambling at the
races. If the officers of the law find
that the gambling is beyond their con-
troll and appeal to me to aid them in
the matter, I will do my full duty.
II like horse racing, and there are
thousands of others who like it, but l
stand unalterably opposed to gam
bling on the races. 1t is not my business
to come down here and stop gambling
Your own citizens can do that; the
sheriff can stop it. If the officers,
whose duty it is to see that the law Is
obeyed here at the races, come to me
and admit that the situation is utterly
beyond their management and that
they cannot stop gambling, will do
my duty to have the law enforced

sisted that he had been misquoted by
the newspapers on his remarks con-
cerning mob violence.

A Word to PrOcraStinatOrS

If you owned a dwelling worth $40,
600, do you think you would walt un-
til next week, next month or next year
before insuring against Possible loss
by fire? No you would not wait until
tomorrow. Yet you say you are not
ready to insure your life for the pro-
lection Of your wife and children or
creditors, but hope to do so later.
Brother, can explain to you why you
are so particular about the house, that
may never burn, and so procrastinat-
ing about the life that Is sure to end
sooner or later-possibly within six
months. If your house should burn
without insurance, the loss would fall
on YOU! But II you die without any
Life Insurance, or less than enough
to comfortably provide for those you
profess to love, the loss would fall on
THEM. If you have no fire insurance
you are carrying the risk. If you have
no Life Insurance, your family and
creditors are carrying the risk; but
when you are gone>without Life Insur-
ance you will not be able to hear the
kind things CD your family, neighbors
and creditors will have to say about
you, as you would in case your house
should burn uninsured. See? The
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany during the past 81 years, has
paid out to benefciaries over $780,
900 900: But Not One Cent of This
Huge Sum Was Paid to the Beneficial
rics of Those Who Expected to Insure,
But Did Not Do So.
