soher-minded, patriotic people will
follow the leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt, first citizen, militant pro-
gressive, greatest American-and the
next president of the United States
The speech was we'll delivered and
held the attention of all listeners to
the last sentence.
"Ohio's Choice" was presented by
Mamie Haefner. This was strong
plea for the denomination of William
Howard Taft. Some of the points
she presented follow: The election
of November, 1912, is one of the
most important in the history of this
nation. Why not carry along the
good work of the present administrao
tion another four years? Taft has
the necessary qualifications, as his
efforts prove. He has used his exec
utive power in stopping the abuse of
the civil service laws and has put
within the classified service every po-
sition he could reach After con-
else statement of his prominent
achievements she concluded in the
following words:
In nominating w. H. Taft, l beg
you to remember that he Is from
Ohio, one of the great and influen-
tial states; that he is not SO progress
sive as to be blind to the need of big
interests; that he is not so conserva-

common people will not receive his
sanction; that his keen judicial
mind cannot judge correctly what
will make for peace and prosperity
and against the ruin and poverty of
the masses; that he has been ham,
pered in his work by a democratic
majority in the house which has
worked against Republican policies;
and that fair treatment demands
that he be given time and full op-
portunity to make good the pledges
OF the national platform of 1908.
Make him your nominee and Re-
publican victory will be sure in the
November election.

Americas twentieth century prob

manding ability, Lincoln in tower
ing sympathy for the common peo-
pie, Mckinley in deep insight of
true American craftsmanship. The
little Napoleon of Wisconsin is a
faithful supporter of right. He has
put Wisconsin in the forefront of the
states and modern democratic move
ment. III elected, we Americans will
have leader of whom we may be
proud, one whose deeds have always
squared with his words. There are
no multi-millionaires and no trusts
behind his candidacy. La Toilette is
one of the founders of the Progress
siye party
He is an active agent in the great
work of human progress, and If nom
mated will be elected and our flu
ture will be placed ON a foundation
OF indestructable strength; his name
is symbol OF our nations worth to
the world l now nominate Robert
Marion La Toilette, whose name
commands throughout the world
the veneration and respect of all.
The applause which this presenta-
tion received showed that its author
had been heard, although the speak
er's voice was not as strong as that
of the others.
