THE PARTY THAT is RIGHT.

conclusion that after this campaign
is over the Bull Moose party will fol
low the Liberal Republicans and pop
ulists into Cbscurity, there is no
reason why any man who believes
in Republican principles should de-
sert the old party now.
The Republican party has good rea-
son to be proud of in it's candidates.
In President Taft it has candidate
whcm, after ten years of the closest
intimacy and friendship, Col. Roose-
selt endorsed four yeals s ago with en-
thusiastic emphasis. Nothing has
occurred since then to cause Col
Roosevelt to withdraw that good
opinion except the conflict and clash
between the political ambitions of
the two men.
President Taft has made cne of
the best presidents the country ever
had. He stands the old test. He is
honest, he is capable, he is faithful
u the constitution.
Under him the government has
been administered with close econ-
omy He has turned deficit into a
surplus.
His administration has been a
credit to the country both at home
and abroad. 1t has been quiet and
conservative. but it has been wise
and safe. The laws have been strict
il and vigorously enforced. This has
been notably true of prosecutions
against the trusts. Because of these
prosecutions some of the trusts are
bitterly opposed to him.
This party has no reason to
regret the anita &C nism of any of the
great trusts. 1t is better without

They have been residents of Colo

represent the Republican party OF
Colorado.
The Bull Moose party will play
part in the campaign this fall but
everyone should recognize that the
rea' fight Is between the Demo
Gratis and the Republicans. The is
sues involved are not for this cam
paign alone. They are enduring is
sues. They will live long after the
Bull Moose party has passed into OBJ
livion. Republicans should consid-
er how the result of the election
will affect the relations to exist be-
tween the Republican andthe Demo-
cratic parties next year and in the
ears thereafter. 1t is question

Colorado Is deeply Interested in
maintaining the protective tariff. In
other words it is interested in the
success of the Republican party. for
the Republican party is the only one
which can be depended upon to
stand by the principle of protection

ability of the party to maintain a
tariff bo affected by the
result of election?
Remember that whoever is against
the Republican party is for the Dem
ocratic party. either directly or in
directly. The Bull Moose movement
