President Taft Says Victory
Can Not be Overestimated

Observation-Disclosures Taft issued
the following statement Saturday
night after he had learned of the final
action of the convention:
A national convention of one of
the greatest parties is ordinarily i'm
portant only as a preliminary to ma
tional campaign for the election of a
president. The Chicago convention
just ended is much more than this
and Is in itself the end of pre-con-
vention campaign presenting a crisis
more threatening and issues more i'm
portant than those of the election
campaigns which is to follow between
the two great national parties.
The question here at stake was
whether the Republican party was to
change its attitude as the chief con-
seryator in the nation of constitu-
lional representative government and
was to weaken the constitutional
guarantees Of life, liberty and prop
erty and all other rights declared sac.
red in ne bill of rights, by aband-
oning the principles of the absolute
independence of the judiciary essen
tfal to the maintenance. of these
rights. The campaign carried on to
seize the Republican party and make
it the instrument of reckless ambi-
ton and the unsettling of the funda-
mental principles of our government
was so sudden and unexpected that
time was not given clearly to show
to the people and the party the dan
gers which confronted them. 1t was
sought to break the wise and valua-
BILE traditions against giving more
than two terms to any one man in
the presidency and the danger from
it's breach could not be measured.
The Importance of the great victory
which has been achieved cannot be
overestimated. All over this country
patriotic people are breathing more
freely that a most serious menace
to our republican institutions has
been averted.
1t is not necessary to speak of the
| result in November on the issues
which will arise between the Repub'
| lican and Democratic parties in the
! presidential campaign to follow. II

Governor johnson Empowered TO APP
point Committee to Confer With
Roosevelt.

Chicago-The progressive party,
born Saturday night, was dedicated
Sunday. In the presence Of perhaps
500 men, some of them recognized
leaders of the movement, others mere
ly onlookers, the first formal step was
taken. Governor Johnson of Califor-
mia was empowered to appoint com
mittee of seven to confer with Colo
mel Roosevelt and formulate plan
of action.
Here is the birth of new party"
said Governor Johnson, when. this was
done.
THE movement is going steadily
ahead" said James r. Garfield of
Ohio. Those who think this is a
flash in the pan are mistaken"
In the opinion of the leaders, the
new party enters the field with a
formidable equipment at the outset.
These leaders, however, said that as
to the men who took a conspicuous
part in the campaign for Colonel
Rooseyelt's nomination, each must
speak for himself.

with view of bringing about num-
Der of labor reforms. The resolutions
provide for the abolition of seven-day

Bryan Says He Wants Harmony.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-William ]. Bryan
On his way to Baltimore Saturday
night was asked whether he would
take the matter of the temporary
craftsmanship of the Democratic con
vention to the floor of the conven-
ton.
Il do not care to discuss the situa-
tion." he said. What l have done
has been done in the interest of har.
mony. As you will see from the tele-
gram to the presidential candidates,
[ did not attempt to name any person
for the place, urged that the conven'
ton find a temporary chairman-a
gentleman suitable to the two leading
candidates, and thus make sure of a
harmonious opening of the conven-
ton. Instead, the subcommittee Sc
lected a reactionary to open pro-
gressive convention. No intelligent
man could believe that such move
is in the interest of harmony at a
time like this. l hope that the full
committee will select some man in
harmony with the majority sentiment
of the convention and thus give the
Democrats a united beginning"
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1912-06-28

will be time enough to do that after
the action of the Baltimore eonven-
ton. 1t is enough now to say that
whatever may happen in November,
Ia great victory for the Republican
party and the United States has al
ready been won.
The party remains as great
powerful organization for carrying out
its patriotic principles as an agency
of real progress in The development of
the nation along the constitutional
lines upon which 1t was constructed
and has ever been maintained; and
its future opportunity for usefulness
is as great as its achievements in the
past.
Sherman Is Pleased.
Utica, N. Y.-Vice-President Sher-
man issued the following statement
late Saturday night
am not unmindfu1 of the honor
conferred by the nomination by the
Republican national convention as the
partyis candidate for vice-president.
To appreciate it's full significance,
OIs uUuSL remember IHdI not LOT
three-quarters of a century has re-
nomination been accorded to any one
for this office.
1t has long been known to my
close personal friends that my prefer
ence was to retire from public office
at the close of the present term and
at no time have l been a candidate
for denomination. / have been too
greatly honored by the party, how
ever, to decline further service when
| it's leaders and it's representatives by
their convention action have ex-
pressed a belief that that service was
required.
| My services as vice-president have
| been both agreeable and congeniaL
and, l believe, have been acceptable
| to the senate. My desire to retire
was based upon wish to devote more
time to my private affairs and to have
remaining a moderate amount for
rest and recreation. 1t goes without
saying that not theIeast cause for sat
isfaction is the added honor which
the conventions actions bring to
| Utica. t'.

HADLEY DECLINED TO BOLT.
Missouri Executive Will Not Join the
Roosevelt Third Party Movement.

Jefferson City, Mo -Governor Had
ley, on his return from the Chicago
convention, declared his determine
ton not to join Roosevelt's third
party movement.
Il believe I can render more useful
public service as a member of the
Republican party than by joining in
the formation of a third party" he
said. while have in no way changed
my mind as to the correctness of that
for which l contended, undertake to
say that no political party ever did
or ever will exist in which at times
will not, use authority unfairly and to
accomplish selfish and improper ends.
'In my opinion, the best way sue
cessfuIly to fight such men and meth
DDS. and also the best way in which
to fight for correct principles of gov
eminent, is within the party rather
than by leaving it,"

to refrain from voting, left no other
candidate near the president. The
announcement of the Taft victory
was greeted with cheering from his
adherents and groans and Kisses from
the opposition.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only candi
date for vice-president regularly
placed before the convention. A mo-
ton from New Hampshire to make the
nomination by reclamation was de-
clared out of order. There were many

able funds have been exhausted
for paying for scalps and the
court has been forced to recall
it's offer for the present. The
commissioners are pladning to
raise additional funds with
whice to push the campaign
further.
