Taft Upon Roosevelt.

The newspapers supporting the can
didacy of President Taft have en-
joyed especially the quotation OF eulo-
gies delivered by Colonel Roosevelt
upon Mr. Taft in the past. A reader
of the New York Evening Post has
been cruel enough to respond with the
following quotations from Mr.. Taft
upon Mr.. Roosevelt:
When the friction OF the last few
months shall be forgotten, when the
mists of momentary irritation shall
have disappeared, the greatness OF
Theodore Roosevelt as president and
leader of men in one of the great
moral movements OF the country's his
tory will become clear to everyone,
and he will take his place with Wash
ington and Lincoln"
AS tribute of a judicial mind, as
the judgment Of man thoroughly in
formed, considerate, free from passion,
prejudice or exaggeration, this men,
orable declaration by the Posts candi-
date should temper even the fury and
contempt into which Teddyphobia has
cast that venerable contemporary

Immediately put into operation the
humane impulse which stirred him,
there came a day when the doors OF
opportunity opened wide Just for a
moment-a moment during which a

vital relation to the people, thrust

Likewise Mr. Roosevelt is well
armed with this human quality.
Roosevelt is for men. The measures
he will fight for will be for men. OF
honors he has had all his country
and the world can give him, and now
he seeks to repay them fourfold by
a service which shall be unto the
whole people, for the girl in the fac
tory and the man at the forge and
the little children playing about the
streets. He comes into the arena

GAVE THE VOTERS A CHANCE.
Presidential Preference Primaries
Show How Roosevelt Stands
With the Country.

Men who have watched campaigns
for many years can recall no such re
versal of conditions and prospects as
that which took place practically
within few days in the contest be-
tween Roosevelt and Taft. Never
before did a candidate for presi-
Dental nomination gain such a lead
as the president had and see it go to
pieces in a few days as Taft's lead
has crumbled and withered
- Always, heretofore, when a national
pre-convention campaign has piled up
an increasing majority for any aspir-
ant for the leadership of his party,
and week after week has gone by
without serious backset to his plans,
the momentum gained has sufficed to
maintain the advantage and make it
greater. By all the logic OF political
history the Taft candidacy had vic
tory within reach. There was no
precedent for what las actually hap
pened.
The explanation is the new force
brought into action. The popular
vote primary did the work 1t carried
Roosevelt forward with a rush which
changed the whole complexion of the
campaign in less than a week. And
the only reason why the same force
did not cause the same results sooner
was that it is as yet given scope and
effect in only few States.-Cieveland
Leader.

ROCKEFELLER FOR TAFT.
Standard Oil Magnate's Interview H.
lumines Presidents Claim
to be Progressive.

In a recent speech at Philadelphia,
President Taft declared himself to be
a Progressive. Colonel Roosevelt, in
commenting upon that speech, has
pointed out that there are no better
judges of what is real Progressive
than the men who are now supporting
Mr.. Taft for denomination.
-Four years ago." said Colonel
Roosevelt, 1.-The Progressives support
ed Mr. Taft for President, and he was
opposed by such representatives Of
special privileges as Mr. Penrose Of
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode
Island and Mr. Gallinger of New
Hampshire; as MesSrs. Lorimer, Can
non and Mckinley of Illinois; and he
was opposed by practically all the
men of the stamp of Messrs Guggen-
helm and Evans of Colorado, and
Mr.. Patrick Calhoun of San Fran
cisco. These men were not Progress
sives then, and they do not pretend to
be Progressives now: But, unlike the
President, they know who Is a Pro
gressive and who is not. Their judg-
ment in the matter is good After
three and a half years of association
with and knowledge of the President,
these and their fellows are now the
Presidents chief supporters; and they
and the men who feel and act as they
do in business and in politics give
him the great bulk of his strength.
The President says he is a Progress
sive. These men know him well and
have studied his actions for three
years, and they regard him as being
precisely. the kind of Progressive
whom they approve"
This gives Special point to an inter.
view given by John D. Rockefeller at
his offices at 26 Broadway, New York,
on October 80, 1908. just a few days
before the election at which Mr.. Taft
was chosen to the Presidency.
Mr.. Rockefeller declared that he in.
tended to support Mr.. Taft because
as he said, 81 find the balance of fit
ness and temperament entirely on his
side. The election of Mr.. Taft will
believe, make for law and order and
stability of business. He is not a man
judge. to adventure with rash ex
periments or to impede a return te
prosperity, by advocating measures
subversive of industrial progress.
1T cannot be said that the present
administration president Roosevelt's)
has in any way favored the special In
terests to which my life has been de
yoted.s
Mr. Rockefeller had not been at the
Offices of the Standard Oil Company
for several years when he gave out
this interview, but he regarded his
declaration for Mr.. Taft as Of such
importance that he went to the office
for the special purpose of giving the
interview. No one has ever accused
Mr. Rockefeller of being Progressive

the people; but above all his admin

enforced before. Colonel
Roosevelt has proven over and over
again, in every position he has ever
occupied, from police commissioner of
New York to the presidency itself,
that he is marvellous man. man OF
great resources, great intellect, great
energy and courage. and a man of the
highest degree of integrity. He will
go down in the history of this coun-
try as the most remarkable man OF
