THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TODAY UNWORTHY OF THE
 { SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE?
By R. H. LEINAD

said Taft has yielded to the bosses. And not only so, but in word and thought and deed as well. he has been disloyal to past friendships; and to every canon of decency. That the statement regarding
 Influence of federal office holders was not only an untruth, but an absurd un- truth.
 This is bitter dose but we will have to swallow our pride and take it, for Theo- dore Roosevelt ex-President of the United States of America. has so said If half is true, every right minded man must con- clude that w. Howard Taft is unworthy of the support and confidence of any cti- zen that loves his country; so fellow citi- zens, take it from the real staff of the Outlook, we will not be justified no mat ter what our party affiliations may be in voting for the aforesaid w. H. Taft The next witness that I will introduce is President Taft We ought not, we cannot on personal matters question the word of our President. In his behalf l want to say, he is an unwilling witness; he was forced against the wall of desperation. and he has told Us that it wrenched him, it was distressngly painful and disagree able to be forced to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
 In the very beginning. during the side stepping act our President was forced to conclude that MT. Theo. Roosevelt is a twentieth century rencarnation of one Aaron Barr of fame notorious. That he is not orthodox as to the third term idea but that the aforesaid Theo Roosevelt holds to the view that he was predestned to be the real 'it'' north of the Panama canal. That if Champ Clark had not got his hooks on Canada that he would have been the fair god of North America. That the said Theo Roosevelt with mal- e -f.s Is Ia the harvester trust and in the interest of his campaign contributor, and contrary to the peace and profit of the farmers of our country. At this inopportune moment the said Theo. denied this allegation and fraudulently endeavored to duplicate our President. but who proved an official albi to the injury of the said Theo. Roosevelt, and further showing that the said T. R. was an Ananias of wonderful proportions. 1t was then that the President in his wrath may have paraphrased Ridgeway. f.When God needed a father of his coun- try He raised a Washington. He raised ur a Lincoln, but when He wanted hell raised Roosevelt came on the scene.'
 It is impossible for any good citizen to doubt the word of our President. His tes- timony is that he is not fit to be the candidate of any party.
 The conclusion, therefore, is inevitable that neither of the open and avowed candidates of the republican party are worthy of the support of the people.
 In place of men whose fitness is dis proved. who are shown by testimony un- doubted to be false to their trust. to the people and to themselves. we offer a man among men, who seems greater now than In the past but only because he is better known, better understood, the Hon Oscar w. Underwood.

There was no federal official record of
votes cast in presidential elections
prior to 1888, but the record from that
year down to 1908 shows the following
results; 1888, II 1881 .40S: 1902. 12.nh3,-

1904, 13,523,119: 1908, 14,S87,133.
The marked difference between 1892
and 1896 is accounted for by the COM
narrative lack Of interest in the former
year and the unusual degree Of inter
est in the latter. This interest was
continued throughout the campaign Of
1900. Both in 1895 and 1900 there was
very full vote polled. The decline
Of interest in 19C4 is shown by the

A FAILURE

- We told R. A. Crothers, Editor and
Proprietor of the San Francisco Bull
letin, that to convince him Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are durable If he
would send us a case we would at.
tempt demonstration. a
The result was that we were put in
touch with a young physician who had
Diabetes. He was so incredulous at
first that he would not take the
treatment, although there was no
charge. When his case became ex.
treme and he was in bed in dark
room he consented. Within four
months from the date, that FuIton's
Diabetic Compound was sent him he
called at our Office in person to ex-
press his qualification and asked what
we expected him to do. We replied
that all we asked of him was to call
on Editor Crothers of the Bulletin and
declare the results, He did so. But
1t seems the disease was not entirely
eliminated, for about three years
thereafter his death was reported.
We do not make strong claims In
young cases and were prepared for
failure But who can measure the
value of those three years added to
the patients life? Who will say IL
was not worth while? =
If middle-aged or over we look for
permanence in many cases. (There
