HORACE BOIES is OUT
FOR PRESIDENT TAFT

Horace Boies of Harrisburg, Ia,
the only Democratic governor of Iowa
since the Civil war, is out for Presi-
dent Taft, according to a statement
issued from Republican national head
quarters today.
Boies' letter, which has been made
public in Cedar Rapids, Ia, says re-
garding Governor Johnson's remark
that President Taft is the most hu-
initiating character in American his
tory:
at would burn my fingers to cast a
ballot for any man who could thus
characterize president Of the United
States"
Mr.. Boies adds that instead of being
the most humiliating character in
American history, President Taft will
be remembered as martyr betrayed
by Roosevelt and Johnson to bear the
humiliation OF the most cruelty abused
man in all public life.
"Was there ever time in the his.
tory of our country when its business
affairs were on sounder basis or the
greater masses of our people more
prosperous or contented? Z" he added

THE GUN PACKER"

President Taft's knack Of getting
at the heart of question was never
better evidenced than in his few words
sbout the evil Of "gn,. packing" in
mis- country.
Much has been vritten and said
atout this evil in recent years. Some
states have been reused to legislation
rut in the main the gun packer" goes
MS way unchecked. Any ha.f-cra ed
individual, with murder in his heart,
can buy weapon and plenty of am
munition at the nearest hardware
store. II he does not wish to pay
retail prices he can take his pick Of
windowful of cheap weapons at the
nearest pawnshop. 1t is the cheapest
means of committing murder, and the
front pages of the daily newspapers
show how often it is resorted to.
Perhaps the attack on ex-Presidsnt
Theodore Roosevelt will arouse the
public to some concerted action
against the "gun packer" Crimes Ike
that attempted in Milwaukss should
be made less easy Of accomplishment
President Taft has recognized that
the time to fight this evil is now.
Like true statesman he has spoken
at the opportuns instant. National
sentiment is aroused, and some good
should follow.-Denver Republican.

TAFTs FIGHT is YOUR FIGHT

President Taft is leading the Repub-
lican party in gallant fight to save
the protective system to the country
and to maintain popular representa-
tive government under the constitu-

President Taft's fight is the fisht

ner of the Republican party this coun-
try has prospered for over nifty years,
save only during the four years when
the Democrats were in control Of the
government. 1t would mean the ruin
alton Of business to suddenly change
from the protective system to the free
trade laws which the Democrats. in
accordance with the declaration Of
their platform, would promptly enact.
