Teddy Properly Handled

The peoples idol Cat one time) the
Honorable Theodore Roosevelt was
properly handled at the national con-
vention. He was given the jolt of his
life. He tried to fool the people into
thinking that they wanted him and
him only for president and they sue
cessfully reprimanded him for his
foolhardiness.
They sat on him, and sat on him
good and hard. Every time he show
cd his teeth under the stress of be
ing sat upon nine of out ten of the
American people cheered-the peo-
pie.
The great majority of the Ameri-
can people are getting tremendously
tired of Roosevelt That feeling is
being reflected in private converse
tons, in newspaper and magazine
articles, and in historical conventions,
He has tried to dictate things polit-
ical altogether too long.
The idol has fallen with a cold dull
thud, and most of us are happy The
Maine delegates probably don't feel
just that way. They couldn't consis-
tently. They ought to. They were

A Winning Ticket

The Republican national convention
is over. William Howard Taft is the
nominee of the party for the presi-
dency. And William Howard Taft,
and his running mate, will win.
All along people have been saying
that should the convention nominate
Taft a November defeat is certain
~. They have said that too many
times before at other national con
yentions. At this convention, and IN
the pre-conyention days, that has
been a favorite slogan of the Roose-
welt boilers. They have waved the
red rag of defiance by shouting Ger
tain defeat for Taft" But it didn't
work.
Mark our words. When this era of
nonsense-this hysteria about a third
party-is over, the people, the red
bandana- handkerchiefw people
will all be found on the Taft band
wagon.
People-some people-said Maine
was for Roosevelt.
Maine Is for William Howard TAFT
and has been for four years and Will
be for four years longer.
The trouble in Maine as we'll as in
many other states was that too many
local politicians wanted to get to the
top before their time.
Witness Colonel Fred Hale of
Portland. He supported Roosevelt
for the express purpose of getting a
whack at Hon. Asher Kinds who gave
him an unmerciful beating at the
polls. 1t was a great opportunity for
Colonel Fred-Eugene's boy. He
doomed things up for Teddy, got him
into Portland, bumfoozled the folks,
and got an endorsement for Teddy at
Bangor.
And all the while Maine was for
Taft-nine out of every ten OF the
sound-thinking, far-seeing men OF
Maine.
Why in heavens name shouldn't
they be for Taft?
This country never had better
President than Mr.. Taft. He has
been a statesman every day he has
lived in the White House. The only
people, when you come to think of it,
who didn't want him were those who
wanted Teddy to ride into renown up
on.
Oh! But it didn't work!
Now back goes the pendulum of the
popular will Taft is coming out of
the battle, SCARED a little, but the
same genial statesmanlike President
the kind of President that sees
things straight and keeps right on
doing his duty.
Back goes the pendulum. 1t began
to swing back at Chicago. 1t hit
Theodore an unmerciful whack and
knocked him into heap. 1t is going
to keep right on swinging until next
November when once again the people
will put Taft into the presidency
But one possibility of defeat stands
in the way. If William Jennings
Bryan is nominated for the presi-
dency by the democratic national con-
ventiop, Mr. Bryan becomes our next
President.
And there are those who would
like to see him nominated
