Torrence has always been popular in
his district. though OF late he has been
occupying a position something like
a discard at the hands Of the or

A Pittsburg paper yesterday sent out
postcard to practically every voter
IN Allegheny county with the request
that he return the card with his
choice for president marked thereon.
The result was that up to 8 o'clock
this morning cards had been returned
showing this result: Roosevelt. 4S5;
LaFollette. 100; Taft. So. These votes
indicate IN that among the Republicans
Roosevelt is a 2 to 1 favorite over
TAFT and I to favorite over La

reads:
The time has arrived whom the
people Of the United States must
speak for themselves.
-Four lean years have been endured
with exemplary patience. but now
must be done to restore the
country to q more substantial basis. >,
William Fl. Taft has been a failure
as producing president.
Mr.. Taft has no plan Of govern
ment, no system Of betterment. He
ts unsatisfactory alike to the progres.
sives and the stand patters.'
Mr.. Taft may mean we'll. but as
president he has only dignified the
administration Of Andrew johnson.
There is no hope for the people in
Taft. and there is no hope for Taft
even II he ia made the Republican
nominee.
There is only one man in the Re.
publican party with a nationwide plan
OF government. and that man is Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Some time ago Colonel Roosevelt
asked the editor Of the Leader to take
down from the masthead Of its edito.

1912. Theodore Roosevelt He stated
that he would consider it calamity
The Leader complied with the request
and announced that 1t would respect
Colonel Roosevelt's personal desire.
That was four months ago,
Today the Leader hoists that ban

going to stay there at least until after
the Republican national convention.
And the Leader believes that IL the
people Of the United States have their
way the banner will be aoatinE after
the nominating convention.
Colonel Roosevelt's friends have
not made him a candidate. It is the
people, irrespective Of politics, who
are hailtng him as q deliverer.
Hence 1t is not in defiance Of Col

nominee and the next president. but
IN the interests Of the people Of the
whole United States"
