A DEAD ISSUE
Democrats and Progressives
Would Revive 1t.
ROOSEVELT ADVOCATED PACT
Democrats Favor Canadian Reciproc-
ity, Roosevelt Boosted Measure, Yet
Some Campaign Orators Insult
Farmers Intelligence BY Trying to
Injure Taft Because He Once Es-
poused Plan.

Reciprocity with Canada is not in
present campaign. Reciprocity has
beens" as far as the Republican party
is concerned.
Yet one OF the peculiar features of
the campaign OF 1912 has been the
,insistence by some of the lesser po-
litical lights that Reciprocity is hurt
ing one party or aiding another in
the campaigns now in progress.
AS matter of fact, were Reel
procity the most popular measure
ever before the country, and every
man in public life anxious to grab off
little glory in connection with it,
the issue would fall dead because
leading men in each party would
show that they had had an equal
part in urging it upon the United
States. All being equally concerned,
no particular group could snatch the
credit from the others.
Similarly, were Reciprocity the
most unpopular issue ever before the
people Of this country, the blame for
it would fail to fall upon any one
group of political leaders because all
would be equally concerned, and no
one group could be blamed while
others were not.
There has been a strenuous effort
in some quarters, despite the known
facts about the one-time Reciprocity
issue, to injure the campaign of Pres
ident William Howard Taft in dis
tricts where ii was unpopular. In
districts where it was not unpopular
these politicians have been discreet
ly silent.
The politicians assert that many
farmers of Michigan and other Dor
der states are bitterly opposed to
Reciprocity and still are agrieved at
President Taft because he stodd for
it while 1t was before Congress.
These politicians give the farmer lit
tie credit for brains or for keeping
up-to-date on what is going on in the
nation. when they make this effort
to injure President Taft.
Theodore Roosevelt, for instance,
was one of the strongest advocates
of Reciprocity. This was the one big
question of policy on which Pres
ident Taft questioned Mr. Roosevelt
before taking action. He not only
sought the views of exPresident
Roosevelt, but asked him 20 secure
the views of the other editors of
"The Outlook" Roosevelt's letter to

the convention, to seize the hall by
so as to be able to go up to Chicago
and lay claim to regularity. The
same tactics were being pursued in
many other states, but in few were
they So brazen or so palpably evident
to the eye witness. The convention
was to be held in the armory and on
the ground that the armory might be
damaged in the event of trouble,
members of the Bay City militia were
hurried to the scene at 8 o'clock in
the morning.
1t was expected by the "contesting"
Wayne crowd that the soldiers would
turn the hall over to W. Frank Knox,
who still was chairman of the state
central committee, and that he would
admit them first so they could take
the Wayne seats. This was foiled by
all the members of the state central
committee demanding and gaining ad-
mittance and ordering, while in ses-
sion, that the soldiers turn the hall
over to the sergeant-at-arms, the con-
vention officer in charge.
This done, the delegates, all OF
whom had been compelled to wait for
hours in the streets, were admitted.
Blocking the steps and doorways
were men brought from Wayne coun
ty as contrasting" delegates, but who
had made no contest. They kept 40
or so real delegates, who were ply
sically unable to fight their way
through to the doors, from entering
the convention for an hour or more.
No effort was made within the con-
vention by the malcontents TO pro-
coed regularly with the convention
business or to show by their votes
what strength they possessed. To
furnish the basis of contest at
Chicago they proceeded amid an up
roar to hold their own convention"
without examining credentials or even
pretending TO show who were par
ticipating. They rushed through what
formalities they deemed necessary.
produced canned resolutions and
lists of delegates and adjourned.
When they left the hall and the regu-
lar convention credentials committee
finished examining the credentials OF
delegates it was found that more than
1000 of the 1900 odd delegates, had
remained for the business of the Re-
publican party, and they proceeded to
transact it.
Yet this contest was taken to Chi
cago. where it was proclaimed by
some OF the Roosevelt leaders as one
of the strongest they had. The con-
test was presented to the national
committee after dropping contests in
the cases of 166 delegates with the
admission that there was no founda-
ton at all for them. They had been
listed as contests solely for the pur-
pose of preventing the public from
knowing that President Taft had
majority of delegates with him.
And the national committee rejected
the claims of the contesting delegates
by unanimous vote--even the Roose-
welt members of the nationa. COM
mittee recognizing the fact that there
was no ground for the claims of the
coEtesting Michigan delegation.
The honesty of President Taft's
nomination cannot be called into ques-
ton wherever the facts concerning
the state and national conventions are
known.
Had Roosevelt been given SCI votes
in the onvention-enough TO obtain
the nomination-no question would
ever have ben raised as to the regu-
larity OF the choice.

Col. Roosevelt proved his popularity

a strong third. The vote follows:

During the forenoon voting Roose-
velt promised TO make runaway
race. Then many farmers from more
distant points came In, and Wilson
shot up almost neck and neck with
1.-THE colonel. Taft sturdily logged an
even way.
Analysis OF the days poll discloses
these important facts:
That 140 Republicans deserted Taft
for Roosevelt.
4 That 112 voters who did not an
nounce their politics supported the
Icolonei.
That Is Democrats voted for Rooss
welt.
That SS Republicans stood by Taf'
and only one Democrat Of four years

That 80 voters who refused to give
their political leaning supported Taft
That 81 old-time Democrats likec
Wilson and stood with him.
That Sc who did not state theil
