ness to the people of the country and
to the business world.
II supported President Taft for re.
election because l believed that he has
made an able President and deserved
another term in the high Office, but
Mr.. Wilson has made a favorable i'm.
preston on people of all classes. He
will be confronted by terrific pressure
from the most radical element of his
party to turn things tOpsy-turvy mere

creating amusement for the people
but l am absolutely confident that
whatever ov%erturning he. may attempt

Has Faith in Wilson.
II am not personally acquainted
with Governor Wilson," said John Joy
Edison, president of the Washington
Loan and Trust company, "but l am
satisfied that of all democrats he is
one or the finest. and will make one
of the best presidents we ever had.
l feel that his administration is going
to be successful, and that the best
business and economic interests of
the country are going to be conserved.
He has a reputation as a conserva-
tive man, and the business interests Of
the country win undoubtedly be safe
under him.
81 was for President Taft, but there
has never been any question that Gov.
Wilson is one Of the ablest men of any
party. He is upright, honest and patrl.

erican citizen. His ability is beyond
question, so there can be no doubt
that he will make a successful presl-

Hopes for Good Appointments.

under him men whose qualifications,
as we'll as their democracy, fit them
for Office" declared Robert N. Harper,
treasurer OF the district auxiliary com.
mittee in an interview. Mr.: Harper
said he was much gratifed at the out

Because a man has been a loud
