SENATOR BOURNE NOT FOR TAFT


| washington, I'd. c., Post.
My attitude toward the re-elec-
ton of President Taft was publicly
announced many months ago in an
open letter to the voters of my
State" said Senator Jonathan Bourne
of Oregon, at the New Willard last
night. 81 then declared that if Mr.
and lawful manner, in accordance
with the expressed wish of the Re-
publicans of the country, l would
support him, but if he should be re-
nominated by the steam-roller meth
DDS that have too often prevailed in
There were in the recent conven-
ton at Chicago 1918 delegates, of
whom $40 were required for a ma
jority. Mr.. Taft received SCI votes,
but in these were PSI votes, cast by
delegates chosen by steam-roller
methods from the States, territories
and island possessions that never
cast an electoral vote for a Republ-
can candidate. The representation
from those Southern States is out of
all proportion to the Republican vote
in the general election.
BY no manipulation of figures
can Mr.. Taft demonstrate that he is
the choice of a majority of the Re-
publicans of the United States. He
has chosen to force his denomination
by using the Southern delegates. Let
him look to them for his election"

The Democrats in their platform
propose to lower the tariff in broken
doses by reducing the tariff gradual
ly. Probably they realize it is like
administering poison, the body can
stand it and throw it off if not given
in too large lose at time That
declaration alone should be enough
to show thinking people the folly of
free trade.
