The Outlook Assuring.

Santa Ana zeal, Blade. One would
be led 10 think that the good old Re
publican party. which has weathered
the storms of many campaigns, and
whose leaders have steered the ship
of state so successfully for the Last
flffy years, was going to the demni-
ton bow-wows. were he TO believe the
rantings of that class OF politicians
who claim to be Republicans but are
nothing more nor less than disgruntled
politicians. No, the Republican party.
the real Republican party, stands for
the same principles today that it has
always stood for: the well being and
prosperity OF the people, Whatever
policies 1t has supported have been
abreast OF the times and conditions,
and under these policies the country
has grown and developed into one of
the foremost nations of the earth. The
party that has given us our Lincolns,
Grants. Garfelds. McKinleys. and our
Tafts is just as strongly entrenched in
the minds of the people today as it
ever was. and all the pratings of the
nal-eontents and faultfnders, whose
only excuse for existence is the refusal
OF their fellow-citizens to elevate them
to power and place. will never dis
place it. When President Taft, in
his Ohio speeches this week, declared
that the outlook for continuance OF
the party in power was most assuring,
ne spoke wisely and by the card. The
country is not ready or willing to turn
over the reins OF government to lot
OF degenerate politicians, whose only
efforts SO far have been directed to-
ward disrupting the Republican party.
Their only arguments are based on
fault-finding To gain their ends they
have demonstrated that they are will
ing to cehort with any and all disturb
ing elements, no matter what their
present or political anteeedents may
have been. To become the target OF
|tnis class of populistic declaimers a
man has only to be known as having
been Republican and still firm in the
faith The Blade has not lost conf.
dence in the good judgment of the
people of this country, but has an
abiding faith that when the time comes
to select a standard bearer for the
party, those who have been tried and
found faithful to the trusts imposed
upon them will receive their endorse
ment, notwithstanding the hurrahing
of the LaFollettes and the Cumminses,
and all other recreant Republicans OF
their kind
