The VOTER s z.s s q .: g. q ~ 's sz

Ut is now time to consider the voter.
Everyone is considering him just
= now. People are neglecting their
business in order to grasp him by the
hand and thank him Tor his noble gener-
osity in conserving to remain on earth.
The voter is quiet, busy man who
is merely a part of the census returns
in January, but who keeps growing
bigger as the political campaign warns
up until in November he picks up candi-
dates for congress and the legislature
and looks them over as if he were CLASH
flying bugs.
The voter is the silent partner in
politics. He does no talking. He usually
doesn't have a chance. But at the
proper time he steps up to the polls and
picks out the hired help for his country
for the next few years. There are few
sights more majestic than that of tired
man in oyeralls stepping into the voting
booth at the close of the day to decide
whether to give the president of the
United States another trial OF to put a
new man ON the job.
After the voter has done his hiring he
is supposed to 90 away back and sit
down There IS nothing less Important
than the voter on the day after election.
On the day before election he could OBJ
tain loan of So from a perfect stranger
and his vest pocket bulges with cigars.
But on the day after the candidates have
been chosen and there Is no more hiring
to be done, it is dead loss of time
even to dodge a voter with an automobile.
Before election he IS pestered to death

A COMPETENT EXECUTIVE.
FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 4, 1912
Editor Ell PasO Herald:

FL EdSQs lex NOV = 454As
Editor FL Paso Herald:
A few years ago the president Of the
largest business in America found him
self in difficulties. Several of his de-
partments were running at a deficit
and there was q panic among his en-
DlOyeS and customers. Money to those
who were fortunate enough to get hold
of any was high, but conditions We're
such that the big majority were una-Ie
to get the necessities OF life, let alone
the luxuries which we all have today
Affairs ran this way Tor a Wnlles ILen
the president discovered that among his
own employees he had man, Depart
ment head by the way, who mad brll-
liant record This man. large OF DQqy
and broad of mind was called TO the
private office and the result was that
the president felt that he no longer was
qualified in executive power and he I'M
mediately called a meeting of the d.
rectOrs and recommended VIM. h TaIt
as his successor.
So it came to pass that when it came
time to elect a new executive the peo-
pie were glad to give Mr.. Taft a chance
on his judicial and diplomatic record,
and true enough he soon had one large
business running like a well oiled ma
chine. He made those departments
which for years had run at deficit not
only self supporting, but showed q
profit for the first time in history, ana
not only that but, We. the people, de-
pending upon this business nave pros

money. general prosperity and enough

number of US have luXuries, such as
only the very rich European enjoys
Yes. Mr.. Taft has truly proved him
self a competent executive, yet as we
are about to elect a president for the
next term. there are some among US
who are thinking OF experimenting
such as electing Mr.. Wilson and some
are even thinking of giving Mr.. Roose-
Welt another chance. To such people i
say, "Why experiment" Have not you
had prosperity
Before you go to the polls Tuesday,
think this over and don't make the mis-
take of experimenting when You nave
