United States Senator Porter J. No
Of Taft, What he stands for" at the
court house next Friday evening finds
the only fault with Tai in North Da.
kota is the fact that the people Of the
state do not generally know all there 10
to be known. The fact that President
Taft has seen fit to remain at home and
engage in no speaking campaign may be
the cause of this, but by so doing he
has won praise from every side. Taft
knew that by engaging in an active
speaking campaign it would mean the
hurting of mud by one party at the 9TH
er, and he is not the man to engage In
such tactics. Accordingly the friends of
the president have taken up the task OF
advancing his candidacy and Senator
McCumber has charge Of the affairs in
this state.
Mr.. McCumber gave out the following
interview at Fargo:
Il am very much encouraged over the
outlook of the coming election from
what have gathered on the first week
of my tour through the state" said Sen.
ator Porter ]. McCumber this noon at
! the Metropolitan hotel on his way homo
to spend a portion Of tomorrow before
going to Minot for the opening speech
of his tour next week.
The sentiment seems 70 be swinging
! to Taft throughout re state" he con-
tinued. "At first the change seemed grad
ual but in the last couple of weeks the
voters appear to be rapidly coming to
| the final decision and President Taft
| has made most noticeable gains.
II have found that really only the
main objection to the president among
the North Dakota voters has been based
on his reciprocity treaty, Canadian re.
ciprocity. while an Objectionable feature
| to the people of this state, was on thu
whole something the majority Of the
people of the country wanted The pre-.
sident thought he was acting in the in
terests of the majority of the people OF
the United States. so that his error, ts
! error it really was was one of judgment
rather than one of heart.
And now the president has repudiat-
! ed reciprocity and is standing for re-elec-
ton on a platform that expresses itself
definitely against reciprocity. Many OF
the people do not realize that and are
looking to Wilson or Roosevelt to help
give vent to their feelings which were
aggrieved Few of them appreciate that
Wilson stands on platform that not
only endorses Canadian reciprocity, but
in free trade with the whole world in
food stuffs.
"a vote for the third party is only as.
sisting the democratic nominees and max
ing it impossible for the republicans to
continue in power. A glance at the man
will show that there are few states
Roosevelt can carry. H Doesn't expect
to carry them. even though it is loudly
talked about. Many are beginning to
appreciate this and the tide is rapidly
changing to Taft throughout this state.
which IS very encouraging"
