Springfield. ILL.,, July 23.-Gov-
ernor Charles S. Densen and five
other Illinois officials today de-
clared to committee of the Roose-
welt party movement that there was
but one course to take regarding
their choice for president They
consider President Taft the regular
nominee of the Republican party
and they feel obligated to support
his candidacy, they said. The
five beside the governor are Secre-
tary of State, Doyle, Auditor of
Public Accounts, Mccullough,
Attorney General Stead, Andrew
Russell, assistant treasurer, and ].
d. Oglesby, lieutenant governor.
Illinois politics we're declared
cleared by Governor Deneen's an
nouncement. Four of the officials
joined him in the statement, Mr..
Mccullough replied verbally, and
with heat, that he is Republican
and will vote the Republican ticket.

from Chicago to question the Hi

The practical wisdom, Of Govern

The practical wisdom of Govern
or Wilson's nomination is asserting
itself more every day. OF all the
men that were available for the
Democratic nomination, none were
so we'll fortified as the New Jersey
governor to meet the requirements
of the country and the party.
That he has the confidence of the
business interests is shown by the
fact that his nomination did not
cause the slightest disturbance in
the financial centers that are sup
posed to be barometers of the busi-
ness welfare.
Every day sees the conversion of
influential republicans to the gov
errors allegiance, notable among
whom is c. R. Crane, the Chicago
millionaire who long supported
Roosevelt.
Added to favorable signs the gov
eminent crop reports point to
bumper yield, so it would seem
that even Providence approved the
selection of the noted Princeton
man to lead the democratic hosts to
victory'-Hutchidson Gazette.

be candidate. Every voter IN

Mr.. Randolph has attended to

the most that we might say,
