MANY WORDS OF CHEER
Contributors to the Campaign Fund
Who Believe in President Taft.

One of the most encouraging fac.
tors in the campaign is the enthusi-

utors to the Republican campaign
fund.
1T is my deliberate Judgment"
writes a Chicago merchant. that Mr..
Taft has been one of the best presi-
dents that the United States has had
in the last forty years and believe
that he deserves reelection"
we do not need a,y change in the
presidency" writes a Wisconsin con
tributor, and in M OPINION we are
not going to have any change. Presi,
dent Taft is an honest able and con.
scientious man and he deserves and
will receive reelection In this local
ity the sentiment is coming his way"
Hundreds Of letters contain similar
expressions Of cpiai5a They show
in every section strong feeling that
President Tafts SPLENDID administra-
ton has made deer impression and
