Mr. Taft. / wonder that they do not
dig beneath the surface and discover
the basis for the attacks, as we'll a;
the genuine worth behind Mr.. Taft
The reasons prompting criticism OF
Mr. Taft are the very reasons which
should lead patriotic Americans &c
stand by him to a finish. The rea-
son that he is not now acclaimed the
most popular American is that he is
no politician
"Mr Taft has declined to let the
politicians dictate appointments and
he has angered many of them. Con
fronted with opportunity after oppor-
tunity to play politics, he resolutely
turned his face the other way Dur
ing his Michigan trip l was with him
four days. Time after time l saw
obvious opportunities for him to say
and do things which would add to his
political prestige He did not d it.
He declines to play politics ANAL.
81 like the kind of a man who has
the dignity to stand upon his own
merit, apart from the petty tricks of
politics, and who has too high regard
for judgships and important places
to fill them with men OF the greatest
pull. Politics in this country has
got to the point where senator's and
members practically fill offices and
passed their conclusions along. Mr..
Taft puts a more rigid Interpretation
upon the appointing power. He holds
that the fundamental law requires
him 20 make appointments and that
the senate has subordinate func-
ton. AS a party man ] think that
sometimes Mr.. Taft might wisely
have yielded to party considerations
when no sacrifice of principle would
have resulted. But | fail to see thai
this is a matter of the slightest con
sequence to the average man who
isn't interested in a federal position
