TAFT CONFIDENT
OF REELECTION
Convincing indications That the
Republican Party is
Still Dominant

When President Taft was visiting
his brother in New York a few days
ago the newspaper reporters called
upon him. After a pleasant chat the
President made a formal statement OF
his views on the political situation;
When | declared, few weeks ago,
that | felt reasonably sure OF my own
reelection in November, and the sue
cess OF the Republican Party, | was
regarded by some, as entirely over
sanguine, and unaware OF the situa-
ton. Today, however, after a number
of indications that the Republican
Party is still the dominant party, and
that the expected growth OF Democra-
tic strength has failed to materialize,
my early declaration is shown to be
entitled to respect The Repubi-
cans necessarily will have a reduced
majority over 1908 because OF the
presence OF three tickets in the field,
but the Democratic party will suffer,
also. The combined strength of the
Third Term party will not be enough
to change the ultimate result
Five or six weeks ago it was as
serted generally that the Republican
Party would secure the vote OF the
Solid East, including all of the New
England States, with the exception of
Maine and Vermont that the Democra-
tic Party would maintain its hold on
the Solid South, and that the Third
Term party would secure the Solid
West, leaving only the Middle West as
debatable ground. Today with the
election still one month away, the Re
publican Party finds itself with
strengthened hold on the Solid East,
having routed the Third Term party
in Vermont, and the Democratic Par
ty in Maine. The Third Term leaders
recently conceded that we would pick
the State of Utah out OF the Solid
West, and, after comforting with Chair
man Hilles and others recently in the

west, tnere Is every reason 10 Deneve
that the Republican Party Will carry
Michigan Washington, Idaho and
Wyoming Moreover if the proper
kind of campaign is waged, we will
carry Oregon, Kansas and Minnesota,
where the Third Term strength has
rapidly waned since the recent tour
through that section by the party's
candidate.
Il am not familiar with the develop
ments in other Western States, al
though many good reports have come
TO me at Beverly concerning them,
but even with the States already men
toned it can be seen that there is no
longer a Solid West back of the new
party, but, more nearly, a Solid West
reunited in support of the Republican
ticket. This strength added to the in
disputable hold on the Eastern States.
constitutes, in itself, a sufficient
strength to give success to the party.
1T is scarcely necessary for me to
point to the necessity OF re-estab lish-
ing Republican majority in the
House OF Representatives If this is
done, ! feel confident that | will be
able to have placed on the statute
books the workmens compensation
law which | urged upon the last ses-
sion, but which was sent to oblivion
by the Democratic House. II the
country will give the Republican Party
a complete victory in its congression-
al, as well as its Presidential. ticket. a
proper tariff revision will be speedily
effected, with knowledge of the facts
ascertained by a tariff commission,
which will harm no one and remove
its present defects"

Boy Poet From a Farm

San Francisco literary folks are
greatly impressed by the poetic gen
ius Of George Ashton Smith, nineteen
years old, of Auburn, Cal. The boy
was born and reared on a mountain
farm and received no instruction be-
yond that afforded by the district
school.
The lad came to the notice of Bout
we'll Dunlap, consul for the Argentine
Republic, a few years ago, when the
latter was spending a vacation in
Auburn. The consul was so pleased
with Smiths odes and sonnets that he
brought him TO San Francisco.
Since that time the young poet has
written about SO poems and they are
to be printed II November.

President Taft, when in New York,
September "A, gave long interview TO
the newspapers in which he discussed
fully the campaign issues.
This is the interview ia part:
Mr. President, have you visited the
Chamber of Horrors in Union Square,
where the burdens upon living under
the high tariff are illustrated"
NO. but a New York friend told me
a little incident in regard to it worth
remembering. According to the story
told me, the exhibition includes a
number of articles OF clothing tagged
with the prices, and an alleged state
ment of what the articles would cost
with the tariff duties deducted | I'M
derstand that a number OF establish
ments engaged in the manufacture Of
clothing are situated in the neighbor-
hood, and a working man. evidently
from one OF those establishments,
strolled at the noon hour into the eX-
hibition. Looking about him he no
ticed coat bearing price tag, and
hihlNd llLo nat llc NOSl vi NHC NOdb
would be without a tariff duty. Why
he remarked, that would bring the
price Of the coat lower than what
get for making one. At that rate
where would | come in? 1t is hardly
necessary to say that he would not
come in at all, unless willing to work
for one-half to one-fifth of his present
pay for making a coat
The policy OF the Republican party
is not to shut out foreign manufac-
lures, but to foster domestic manu-
features and to keep the American
workingman employed.
The tariff should be revised SO far
as may be necessary TO keep prices
from being exerbitaat, SO that, as l
have explained in my speech OF &C
ceptance, tAe manufacturer shall Sc
cure only enough protection to pay
the scale of high wages which obtains
and ought to obtain in this countr.

San Jose, California, has a City Beau
tiful Movement, of which some particu-
lars are given in recent issue of the
San Jose Morning Times sent US by FREQ
W. Angler, chairman of the beautifica-
ton committee, to whom Mr. Richmond,
president of the San Jose chamber OF
commerce, paid strong tribute for the
work he had done, saying:
''After several other committees had
failed to arouse any interest, Mr. An
gler took up the work and carried it to
its present successful state. Singularly
enough, it was railroad man, one who
meets with and deals with the tourists
who awoke to the necessity of beauti-
full city and began the present campaign
in earnest. Unselfishly he has given all
OF his spare time and energy to the work
and has accomplished more than salts
factory results. | feel that the greatest
of credit is due to this public-spirited
citizen"
Mr.. Angler has ever maintained an &C
tive interest in Belfast, his native city,
and in this case, as in many others, his
object has been to arouse here spirit of
emulation Of the methods which have ad-
ded to the attractiveness and public con-
veniences of cities on the Pacific coast.
After an auto tour of San Jose to view
the good work of the City Beautiful
Mov ement meeting was held in St.
James Park with addresses by local
speakers and by former Mayor James D.
Phelan of San Francisco, whose text was,
Beauty pays" What he says of other
cities applies equally to Belfast. For
example:
1.-THE tourist passing through your city
gets but fleeing impression of the
place. Your aim, therefore, should be
to make that impression the most favor
able one possible. Let his remembrance
of this city be one Of shady trees, beautis.
flu. lowers and clean streets. Have it so
that lhe thought of California will of its
own accord suggest the thought of San
Jose as the most beautiful spot in Cali
fornia.
1.-The secret of Pasadena's prosperity
lies in her clean streets and her trees and
the fact that she has very few fences.
With all her natural advantages, San
Jose, sitting in the center of the Santa
Clara valley, could be made even more
beautiful than Pasadena possibly could"
The San Jose Times says that the gen.
eral sentiment among the members of
the committee was summed up in the
wor DIS of F. W. Angler, chairman of the
committee. "We have done great
DEAL" says Mr. Angler, "but our great
est work lies before US. Our greatest
achievement has been in the awakening
of interest in the work and we may ex-
pect that a great deal more can be ac-
complished in the future. Let us hope
that the many owners of unsightly places
in this city will be awakened by today's
work so that they will be willing to CO.
operate in the Identification work which
we intend to prosecute"
