Where Mr.. Taft Stands.
From the Wausau Record Herald.
Taft stands exactly where either Of
the great martyr presidents would
have stood had they lived in his day
and occupied his place. He stands for
the constitution, for the courts. for
the perpetuation Of the tried and
proved American institutions, for the
principle of protection to American
labor, just laws and their impartial
enforcement against rich and poor,
high and low, alike. No president ever
had higher ideals, better comprehen-
sive of the intricacies of government.
or more courage in presenting his con-
victions to the public.
Now Outspoken for Taft.
From the Clinton, ILL.,, Journal.
A. the Journal up to this point In

ro0ative Of expressing disinterested

The country has man in the presi-
Dental chair who can be relied upon
to uphold the principles of protection
and the other doctrines of the plat

ministration offers safe and sound

Wise and Prudent.

President Taft's administration has
not been one Of talk and parade. Of
sensational assertion and show Of au-
thortty. But 1t has been an admins
tration Of hard work In quiet and
transformations ways. He has said
little. But he has done much. The
rising tide OF business prosperity te1'
tifles to the wisdom and prudence Of
his administration, and to the conf
hence which the business world has
Ia his discretion.
Great Achievements. |
