TAFT. THE MAN OF THE HOUR.

(From the Baltimore American
Honoring the traditions of the Office
for which they have named him, the
members of the Republican National
Convention have designated William H.
Taft to succeed himself by the will of the
voters, and to carry on the magnificent
work of national construction that he has
made illustrious by his acts. A second
term in the White House is open to the
man who was made the target of unjust
and slanderous attack, whose character
and whose record are above reproach and
whose end and aim it has been to do the
will of the nation and to keep his con-
science clear in the sight of God and man.
The action of the great assemblage un-
der the conditions rises to a plane of
worthy performance that has few par
allels. 1t was declared that OBJECTIONS
from the ranks of Taft would prevent
him from securing the nomination. This
prediction fell fiat. twas declared that
the national committee would not seat
numbers of the delegates contested by
Theodore Roosevelt. The prediction fell
flat. 1t was predicted that the creden-
tials committee would never waver In its
duty. The prediction fell fiat. Threats
and menaces with regard to the party it.

Auto Strikes Buggy,

Considerable excitement was caused
Sunday forenoon when large automobile
struck Mr.. Clarence Collifower's car
riage. Mr.. Collifower was attending
church and had his team htched near the
public square. The auto came in town
over the State road from Frederick and
evidently intended to 60 on toward EN-
mitsburg, but for some reason the ma
chine was turned quickly to East Main
street, The turn being made very short,
the driver could not avoid striking the
buggy. The right rear wheel was badly
damaged and one shaft broken. Mrs.
Collihower and her daughter were in the
buggy at the time. The horse being very
gentle and quiet did not scare and no one
was hurt. The party in the auto paid
for the damage done and departed.
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1912-06-27

self, open declarations of revolt and rev
olution, the flat-footed statement thai
the naming of Mr.. Taft would insure thu
defeat of the Republican party-thes'
discreditable measures for subvertine
the will of the people through their party
representatives failed. After The fullest
and most careful public investigation OF
the counter-claims of the former presi.
dent these were almost uniformly set
aside. Out from the turmoil and the
strife, out from the flames of passion
and resentment, out from the turbulence
of fractional discord sounded the clear
tones of calm and unanswering conven-
ton judgment that the man who had won
his way in office and in the campaign
should receive the just dues of his worth
and the honors of his party. The NAM
ing of Mr.. Taft was inevitable. 1t was
righteous. 1t was wise and it will prove
to be the sure mark of his success in
winning to him the respect of the entire
conservative and sane portion of the
country.
Now let the Republican party rally to
it's chief. Let those who erred and stray
ed from the fold of their faith return.
1t is more honorable to confess fault and
to rectify it than to pursue the path OF
mistakes. The Republican party man
agement is devoid of vindictiveness.
There does not rankle in the breast of
the undetermined president one bit of
gall or bitterness; he has ever been will
ing to concede the best of intentions to
his adversary, and where he might do so,
to the following of his foeman. The
nomination of President Taft should be
honored as the adjudgement Of the high
est party tribunal. Certainly the Repub-
lican party and it's chief representatives
can do nothing more than pursue the
path marked out to perform the duty
that has been laid upon them to stand
for the principles of Republican faith in
the contest for the presidency. With
such an obligation placed upon the nomi-
nee and the party, with such duty to
perform, the future may be faced with
calmness. Success is the end sought and
this will be vastly better compassed by
the standard of Taft floating aloft than
by that of the man whose naming would
have irretrievably rent the party and
confused all party alignments.
The man of the hour as he was denom-
mated by The American when it become
spokesman for the then secretary of war
in behalf of first nomination by his
party, has become the man with mes
sage. He has a message that has been
read in the presence of large part of
the population of the country during the
campaign. 1t is the message of the COM
mon duty of the American people, of the
common obligations toward the Consti-
tuition, of the common honoring of the
courts and of the promotion of the inter-
ests of all men under the guarantee of
the nation. The record of Mr.. Taft af-
fords the widest basis of confidence in
him as the champion of his party.

Everybody Working.

The work being done here and else
where by the Western Maryland railroad
has given employment to many young
men from this place, some of them hav-
ing secvred employment with the car
penters and others in the various depart
ments of the road. All seemto be pleased
with their jobs. Nearly all the boys who
attended High School are now on the road
earning $l.9O per day. The matter of
cooking and washing dishes seems to be
irksome to some, but old regulars say
they will soon get accustomed to that.
