That is just what he is doing.
President Taft illegally despatched Major
Butt to Europe, as the bearer of letter,

Magistrate.
President Taft did not wish to dictate the
letter to his private secretary.~He could not
trust it to the mails. lie could not .corpey 1t

The letter was SO secret, so treacherous, so

What Did Tel You, About Inc Presidential Race /?

SOME weeks ago when everything seemed
- to be going toward Taft predicted that
he would fail of denomination. Ny opinion
was, that if Roosevelt did not secure the
honor for himself, he would defeat the plans
of Mr.. Taft
There were many reasons for this, quite
apparent when the situation was carefully
thought out. In the first place, the Ameri-
can people were shocked when President Taft
announced his cabinet. Never before have we
been dealt full hand Of corporation lawyers.
Even soldiers, like Gen. Jackson and Gen.
Grant chose for their official advisers the most
eminent statesmen of the day. Mr.. Taft,
however, carefully avoided men whose CON
nection with the public service had given them
position Of esteem generally recognized
throughout the country.

press was intensely ange1\d and disguised.
H0rp@3r,s Weekly had a leading editorial on
the subject.
AT THAT TIME, NO DENIAL WAS
MADE. 1t was universally heralded that our
fat, smiling and traitorous President had sent
Major Butt to Italy, as special envoy to the
hypocritical old Papa, who lives there in the
Vatlcan-he and his sateliites-in the midst
Of 225 Of the most uo5uptasoms going a0oneeae
that ever gruced q harena.
Everybody knew that Major Butt was ON
his way home, bearing the autographed reply
OF the Old dago, to the hand written letter of
Our false hearted President.
But the vessel on which Major Butt was
returning struck an iceberg and went down.
More than 1000 men went down with her.
Among these was Archie Butt.
