sound common sense Of the people Of this
state will assert itself to-day and that
the candidates Of the old. conservative
and reasoning Republican party will have
n plurality ranging from 10000 10 5000
and that the Legislature will be Repub-

The issue is clear cut. The man who
believes in American Institutions, Ameri-
can character and American individuality
will vote for Taft. Tho Democrat who
has been deceived into believing that the
tariff Is responsible for everything he
doesn't Ike will vote for Wilson. The
man Of socIalistlc tendency who believes

yantageous toward right thinking than
