Taft Has No Claims.
"Mr. Taft has, In morals and equity,
no claims whatever to single dele

effort to thwart the will of the people
as expressed freely by them at the

one moment to consider such an effort
to defraud the people of their right in
this struggle for justice and for popu

Il wish the Issue clearly made. We

and any individual who attempts to
