They arc glad to make alliance with
the bosses. That is what they mean

the boss on whom It depends.

Roosevelt will beat Taft in New Jersey.

foreshadowing a defeat, Even tho most

that the votes in Maryland, In Massa-

The story told by the returns was not
that Rooseevlt carried these states but that
TAFT lost them. 1t was not until these
recent primary elections that Taft got
any true impression. For this ignorance

Duty Of Leaders.

Every party has 10 have its lead
ers- The true party leader IS the man
who tries to lead and not to drive
the voters and to pus into effect
their deliberate Judgment He has the
right and the duty 10 10 before the
voters and try 10 persuade them. but
he has no right by trickery or vio-
lence TO tn to impose his own will
upon them against theirs.
In this campaign we have shown
that wherever the people have a
chance TO express themselves they
have no use for bosses. Eleven states,
including Ohio. have allowed the vot
ors of the party TO express their
wishes. Out OF 32t deIeEat ties elected
AZ these primaries the most that Mr.
TAFT could secure with the help Of
party organization and patronage, and
with the bosses on his side, amounts
only To IS. The only states where
AIR; Taft has secured his real vic
tories are the states where the par
~ is in tho control. not Of the poo
DIG but Of The bosses. That shows
clearly on which side OF this issue
Mr.. Taft stands.
