THE DIFFERENCE

Colonel Roosevelt has openly opposed
the president on three important poll
cies-viz, conservation, including the
Controller bay affair; the arbitration
treaties, and the steel trusts prosecu-
ton. The difference in attitude on the
last named is developing into a full
fiedged issue. In the popular mind
the matter is assuming this form
that Taft is in favor of disolving the
trusts and Roosevelt of controlling
them. This does not strictly or accur-
ately represent the attitude OF either
man, as both favor dissolution in some
cases and regulation in others, yet in
some degree the distinction is justified.
The fight between the president and
his predecessor will be one of the hot
test politial struggles in American his
tory. The Taft forces have the power
OF patronage in their favor. The result
in one of the Oklahoma district conven-
tons Jan. % is straw. Despite Roose-
velt's immense popularity in the state,
and although one of the Alternately
boys rode his horse into the hall in an
attempt to start stampede for the
colonel, the Taft men stood pat and
won by decisive vote.

Matrimonial Matters

For some time past there has been a
little touch OF matrimonial talk among
the ladies of Bedding and at last the
secret has leaked out Monday even.
ing, February 10th, sleighride party
was planned TO the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Kemp where it was pro.
posed TO announce the coming event in
matrimonial lines. The storm, how
ever, was so severe that sleighride
was out OF the question, and the
announcement party was held at the
home OF Mrs. McElroy on that date al
which time the engagement of Miss
Mildred Bolenbaugh to Mr.. Leo II.
Elsbey was made.
Last Monday Evening, at the home
II Mr.. and Mrs. Sumner Wilson,
Mesdames Wilson and Bernie Strunk
gave shower to Miss Bolenbaugh. ii
vas miscellaneous shower and many
useful articles were left for the bride
to-be. There were sixteen of her
young friends there and the evening
vas happy one for all present. Re-
reshments were served and after wish
ing Mildred the best there is i'm life all
returned to their homes.

TO MANAGE CAMPAIGN
Ex-Congressman Cerrit J. Diekema
Will Look After Tafts Interest In
Michigan

Gerrit j. Diekema, former congress
man from the Fifth Michigan district
and President Taft's personal selection
as preconvention manager of the Taft
forces in Michigan will establish head
quarters in Grand Rapids.
Mr. Diekema says he is more than
pleased at the situation and confident
OF showing the president that the Re
publicans of the state are truly APP
preciative OF his great services to this
country.
Mr.. Diekema was in conference with
the president for long time last Fri
day in Washington, during which mes
sages were pouring in from all parts OF
the country, including a great many
from Michigan assuring the executive
of support and expressing confidence in
his denomination and reelection. The
president, Mr.. Diekema says, is ex-
ceedingly pleased over the support
that is being rendered him from all
parts of the country, especially from
those who have formerly been sup
porters of Colonel Roosevelt and who
do not believe in third term and are
sincerely disappointed at the announce
ment of the colonel's candidacy.
One of the strongest men TO declare
hatfooted in support of President Taft
IS Senator Root of New York, former
cabinet officer of Colonel Roosevelt
Mr.. Diekema says the president ever
remembers that Michigan is a part OF
his old judicial district. He is well
acquainted with the state and is proud
Of its institutions and believes i'm the
intelligence of the people and their good
faith and has abiding confidence that
they will stand by him in this crisis.
The president under no circumstances
says Mr.. Diekema, will make per-
sonal warfare on Colonel Roosevelt.

IL is declared that 1.-The farmers will

But they cannot vote Tor Roosevelt,
