Is still a Republican and will support
the ticket nominated In Chicago
William Howard Taft and James
Schoolcraft Sherman. To do otherwise
would be to give aid to the Demo
cratic party. The history, traditions
and record of the Democratic party
have never appealed to us, and what
ever disappointments We may have
over the failure of Theodore Roose-
welt to secure the nomination and
over the postponement Of the prin-
ciples he represents, it Is not suffi.
clent to cause us to Waver In our
fealty to the party that has always
stood for policies which have placed
this nation in the vanguard of civil
zation and made its people the most
prosperous, happy and contented in
the world. And We are not built
right to straddle the fence.

not see much hope there. The
chances are 10 to l that 1t will break
up in a row before the campaign gets
fairly started. Every one of the lead
ers are scrappers and every one of

not, and Henry Allen and William

all the rest of them become very
lonesome and will die of ennui unless

would be too busy quelling riots In
his own camp to get any time to
save the country.
