MCKINLEY SPEAKS.
Discusses Single Tax and the Re-
publican Situation.

Hon. John c. Mckinley, Re.
publican candidate for Governor
made three speeches i'll Audraiu
county last Saturday-at Mexico,
Rush Hill and Laddonia.
At Mexico he first discussed
the Single Tax. He believed that
if the tax should carry it would
bring untold hardship upon the
farming interests, and that of
course would bring like results
for all other interests. He plead
that the 9th and 7th proposed
constitutional amendments should
be overwhelmingly defeated ct
the polls.
Mr.. Mckinley is pleasing
talker and makes good plea for
the issues he stands for i'll politics.
He is stand-pat Republican and
of course is for Taft and thinks
more of any good Democrat than
he does of Teddy.
Mr.. Mckinley had a good hear
ing. He was introduced by
Clarence A. Barnes. A delegation
from here accompanied the speak
er to Rush Hill and to Laddonia.

SQUARE DEAR MUST RULE

The Spokesman Review has not changed it's opinion respect. ing President Taft. It believes him to be an honest. capable, conscientious man and a fear. less official. His one weak point is in his judgement of men, and some of his advisers have fooled him.
 The president is at the part ing of the ways, because on the action of the republican nation- al committee-the hcadpiece of the party machinery of the nat 'ion-will depend his re-elect- ion if he secures a renominat- ion.
 The candidate nominated i'll the Chicago convention must have the backing of the votes of republicans. Handpicked del- egations by central committees must not be given preference over delegates elected at pro- perly constituted primaries.
