never before nave l. found
such conditions as exist at
t44lo time.
/ read the leading daily papers
and it is so palpably clear that there
lis something rotten up the creek
Lsthat the most ignorant negro in
kN1eorgia will tell you that there is
something curious going on. Take
the Macon Telegraph, the paper that
boasts in every issue Of its demo-
cratic loyalty and fidelity and here
tofore has been one of the most out
spoken papers in all the land against
I Republicanism, but now it is as
q mute as mouse except it matches
a daily fight of some kind against
! Roosevelt 1t is fighting him to the
bitter end of something entirely un-
known to all thinking men.
The Telegraph insists that Roose-
1 welt is a dead issue and dead poll
trojan and all that and yet in every
issue it is fighting him with all the
i power Of it's might and vigor. You
no doubt have Lotieeo that the Tele-
graph never has anything to say
4 against Taft. While it has little or
nothing to say in his praise, it says
glebsolutely nothing against him.
4 Everybody, even great majority
OF the Republican party knows that
Taft is the rottenest and vilest Of
i all the Presidents that ever disgraced
s. the White House and no paper in all
Il the wide, wide world found more
n bitter things to say against him dur
fng@the other campaign than did the
II Telegraph.
Il Isn't it plain that it is this way?
h The Roman Catholic Hierarchy de-
Il feated Roosevelt on account of his
/ conduct at Rome while on his return
4 from Africa. Roosevelt found out
/ that he had made Roman Catholic
B mistake and tried to mend it and
,nade it worse than before and they
fare against him teeth and toe nails.
YTaft has always been Roman Cath
1lolic, and everybody knows it but
II himself, for he denies it, but he is
heart and soul. The Pope at Rome
rules him with an iron rod. There
is nothing truer than tina,
II If either Taft, or Wilson is
Ii elected the church and the Pope at
Rome will be in authority, but
Roosevelt must be killed and to
satisfy the greed Of the Roman

too.
lt After it is too late it will be found
that the Roman Catholic churCi, has
/ bought the newspapers of the coun-
try to abuse Roosevelt, and If they
q cannot conscientiously say anything
"A gooa for Taft, say nothing bad.
y Help Wilson if you choose, but do
lnothing~ to hurt Taft.
Inwardly none of the editors of
the Democratic papers can look upon
1 Taft with any degree of allowance,
HUT they have been bought with a
aprice to say nothing against him
teven if he should defeat Wilson by
II it. They have sold themselves to
abuse Roosevelt beca the Pope
oa9 tes him with all the venom of his
FIFE, and would no doubt have him
1put to death if he should be elected.
Il We all admired Roosevelt's con-
duet at Rome that time, but he got
tscared when he returned home and
Smade an ass of himself trying to get
u back in favor with the Roman Catho-
]klics, where as, if he had stood his
K ground, for he was right at the time,
The would have never been held up
las soft one now.
4 Isn't the whole thing rotten to the
i9core? Isn't the Democratic daily
3papers rotten, to the last stage when
1it will sell out to the Roman Catholic
