PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.

Among the faisehqods that
are now being assiduously cir
culated by persons and papers
opposed to the President Is one
that in his Lincoln Day speech he
argued That the people are not
fitted for self government Presi-
cent Taft said nothing upon that
occasion which could possibly
be tortured into any such con-
struction.
'sThs speech In which the
President made reference TO
popular government was deliv-
cred at the banquet OF the State
Bar Association in New York on
the night OF January 20. What
he then said on this subject. and
II was correctly quoted in the
newspapers the following day,
was this:
Popular government we all
believe in. There are those OF
us who do not believe that all
peoples are ftted for popular
government. The fact is we
know they are not. Some Of US
do not dare say so. but do; and
the question whether a people
is fitted for popular self-govern-
meht. so as to make that govern
ment best for the people. IL de-
termined by the ability OF the
majority Of that people to place
upon itself the restraints by
which the minority shall receive
Justice from the majority. II Is
the question OF self-imposed re-
straint that determines whether
a people is At to govern itself"

WILSON DECLARES
FOR LOCAL OPTION
Says that the Liquor Question
Should Never Be Made a
Political Issue.

In response to a letter from Rev
Thomas B. Shannon. the superintendent
CT the Anti-Saloon League In New Jer-
sey, Gov. woodrow Wilson has defined
his attitude on the local option question.
Ghe governors reply Is as follows:
The question asked In your letter OF
April "a about my attitude toward the
important question Of local option is, OF
course. a perfectly legitimate one. and
you are entitled to a very frank answer.
1 would have replied sooner had I not
been prevented by imperative public en-
gagements. ! have explained my views
10 you IN private. but have, OF course,
no objection to your making them public.
Il am in favor of local option. am
a thorough believer in local seif-govern-
ment, and believe that every self-govern-
ing community which constitutes a social
unit should have the right to control the
matter Of the regulation or OF the with
holding OF licenses.
But the questions involved are
social and moral and are not sus-
ceptible Of be- lg made parts OF a
party programme. Whenever they
have been made the subject matter
OF party contests, they have cut the lines
OF party organization and party action
athwart to the utter confusion Of po-
litical action in every other field. They
have thrown every other question, how
ever important, into the background.
and have made constructive party action
Impossible Cor long years together. So
far as ] myself am concerned, there
fore can never consent to have the
question Of local option made an Issue
between political parties In this State.
Ny Judgment Is very clear In this mat
ter. do not believe that party pro-
grammes OF the highest consequence to
the political life of the State and OF the
nation ought to be thrust on the side and
hopeiessly embarrassed for long periods
together by making a political issue of
great question which is essentially non
political, nonpartisan. moral and social.

TAFT THE WINNER
in IOWA GATHERING

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. A-President
Taft scored big victory to-day in Mad
ison County, when the Republican coun-
ty convention, by a vote Of ninety to
seventeen, indorsed the national admin
istrstion. and instructed delegates to the
district and State convention to work
for the denomination of President Taft.
Madison is the first county In Senator
Cummins' Congressional district to hold
q convention, and the result to-day has
greatly depressed the Cummins' forces.
1t developed also to-day that in the
Des Moines and Folk County primary
held here last night. that Taft captured
ninety-three delegates in the entire coun-
.ty. when. 1t was supposed that cummins
would have the entire S7s. of which the

CALIFORNIA CLAIMED
BY CHAMP CLARK

News from California received at the
Clark headquarters yesterday by telegram
from San Francisco gives the informa-
tion that California will be unanimous
for Speaker Clark. The withdrawal of
Mr.. Hearst from the race and his sup
port of the Speaker. has simplifed the
situation. Gov. Wilson's views on the
Chinese question, as expressed in his
books, have had a tremendous effect in
influencing the labor vote Of California.
Theodore Bell, twice Democratic candi-
date for governor Of California, and per-
manent chairman of the Denver eonyen-
ton. is leading the fight for a Clark
delegation from California He is con-
fident that although the Wilson mana
gers will make a determined effort to
get some OF the delegates, Mr.. Clark will
carry the May primaries by an over
whelming majority.

Dictionary Day''-The Distribution 5egins-come Early for yours.
 Books Are Ready.

Today is Dictionary Day. Come ear ly and avoid the rush of the wise ones who will seek the advantage of tke Sentinel'Record's offer of new Web sterian 1912 Dictionary, Illustrated, foe six coupons clipped from six consec- utive issues of the papeI@and a small expense bonus.
 Judging from the crowds that have been. examining the volumes during the last few days, they are going to .go like the pToverbial hot cakes
 So far the flexible back leather binding of No. l style has made that type of book the favorite.
 Tt looks like a Bible" is what they all say. The comment is justified as the book is made mp of the De t print on the best Bible paper. In fact, as the work is almost indispen- sable, the dictionary should be placed beside the Bible on the book shell. no matter whether it be five or 50 feet in length. In appearance 1t is It companion volume of the best Bible ever printed.
 This Dictionary is NOT printed by
 
 Dictionary or by their successors. A dictionary of such common sense size and compiled in such compre-
 hensive manner is just as indispensa-
 ble to the business man as the tee phone book or the city directory. It is not how much knowledge you have, but how much knowledge you
 use that counts in your work, and it l is the same with books. You might have the largest dictionary or ency- clopedia in the world, but it would not
 do you as much good as the diction. lary which the Sentinel Record offers
 it's readers. The volume is small enough to keep constantly at your el-
 bow and you will use it 10 times to
 the once you will cross the room to
 consult the big Webster's on the stand or table; and that you will use
 it hundred times more than you
 will use a library or encyclopedia. | A well known business man explain ed yesterday why he was clipping the dictionary coupons. A visitor noticed
 that he was preparing to secure the
 New Dictionary and expressed his Sui pi lSS, tS ilt udu q DiS NOluuiG Ol WebsteTs in his office.
 T want that flexible leather die tionary,' he said. Its the handiest tbook of the kind I've ever seen and the most complete. Do you know
 most people don't realize how many
 new words are placed in our language every year. This book is up-to-date and need it in my business. $ dollars to dougihnuts that I'll use 1t ten times as much as l ever use that cumbersome one. This Sentinel-Rec- ord book is a Carnegie library at your elbow"
