RALLY1NG CALL is ANSWERED.

Now that the rallying call has gone out to
Taft the first response has come with such spon-
tanety and strength 10 bring diSmay to the
traditional enemies of the party, the Bourbons,
and to leave the traitors TO the party, the inSur
gents have died away. The interval Of silence
shows Taft S strength not IN the slightest af-
fected By the hystercal assaults. The ranks that
were reported broken stand hrmeF than ever,
ready for the real conflict. There are no de-
serters that will be missed from those lines The
democrats who counted strife and division in
the republican party are already beginning to
realize that they reckoned without the saving
common sense that has kept the republican party
together all these years The democratic hopes of
success in this presidential year were based on
the belief that many republicans would be lured
away from their standard-bearer by the mlsap
piled progressive slogan.
|, The republicans have shown the first call
to action that they realize whose policies and
whose actions have been most truly progressive.
They have read the shallow motives of those
who have misapped this word and have given
proof of their firm conviction that President Will
lam Howard Taft is the true progressive repub-
lean leader OF the insurgents who claimed to be
progressive there remains but slim band of
| eternal job-chasers and malcontents. The repub-
lican party has always been the party aligned
on the side of progress while the democratic par
ty has been the counter-baance. The progressive
and constructive work accomplished by President
Taft has upheld the reputation of the party of
Abraham Lincoln.
