PRESIDENT ThFTS VIEWS
ON ELECTION OF EXECUTIVE
[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1

IBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1
BEVERLY Mass Oct. 21.-President
Taft's views on how the president
should be elected were given to the
United Press today:
Copyright 1872 by United Press As
sociations.l
MIR. President, how do you person
ally think the presidential campaign
should be conducted?"
In such way as to bring out as
many votes of citizens possible.
There is great danger to republican
government in lack of interest in pol
itics and failure to exercise the suf-
frage by a large number of citizens.
| regret to say statistics show that
those neglecting this important duty
are generally intelligent and capable
of exercising a discrimination in vot-
ing that would make for good govern
ment. The press, of course, is the
chief instrument in keeping before the
public the controversies of the cam
paign. But other methods are COM
ing into vogue. / doubt whether per-
sonalities have anything like the eff
feet those using them think they have.
Sometimes there is real revelation
and the character of the candidate is
so clearly proven to his detrim ent
that he suffers, but the ordinary use
of epithets and personal attacks on
candidates only anger their friends.
They crafty their enemies, but do
not affect the indifferent ones.

Steps TO Be TAKEN FOR
new SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Ell Centre grammar school REQUIRE
ments have become so great that there
Is apparent necessity for the construc-
tion before The new season of new
buildings to meet the requirements.
On the first of the year the high
school will move to The new high
school building, but SO greatly are
the schools crowded now that when
the grammar school shall have ac-
CURED possession of its additional
building it will be filled to its full
normal capacity, and there will be no
room for the increased attendance of
next year.
Judging by all experience, there will
pc an increase in attendance at the
school during the next year of from
$50 to $50, and there will be that MANY
more pupils than there is seating ca
pacity, and there will be no room for
the increased attendance Of next wear
1t is proposed that there shall be a
good building on the ground of the
Comm mercial street school, which is
considered a good location, and that
there shall be an addition made to the
school east of the railroad, which is.
like the other schools of the CITY.
crowded to it's utmost capacity.
1t is thought that for proper pro-
visi ons there should be a bond issue
of $4,000, and the probability is that
the school board will in the near
future call for bond issue in that
amount.

preparations had been made for de-
parture today to arrive in our state
Wednesday next.
had expected to devote the re-
mainder of the time before election
to California. The attempted assas =
sination of Colonel Roosevelt has COM
pletely altered all our plans and, as
the vice presidential candidate of the
Progressive party, l have been asked
so far as 1 am able to take up the
burden that Colonel Roosevelt was so
ably and bravely bearing and to
continue the campaign until its close
as had been contemplated by him. 1
had felt that ii was my duty to return
to my native state and l was very loa:h
to remain longer absent, but my enlist
ment in this cause for which we strive
was not for a day, but for all time and
when the leader of that cause was sud
denly stricken and l found him help
less here it seemed TO have fallen to
me to bear part of his burden and to
continue the struggle as we had
planned for him to do.
Reluctantly, therefore, for there are
many reasons for my return that may
be readily understood, L nave yielded
to the request of the Progressives of
the nation and shall, in so far as l am
able, continue this great battle that
means so much for humanity.
The cause for which we strive-pop
ular rule and social and industrial jus
tice-is we'll understood in Calfor-
MIA that l feel it may be safely left to
those who have made and won :he
fight there.
In the wider field of the nation the
part has been mine in the last sixty
days to preach our California doctrine,
and in the remaining two weeks, the
most critical period of the struggle, it
has fallen to me to continue that work
with added responsibility. 1 feel that
the situation will be thoroughly appre
ciated by all of those in our great
state of achievement who have been in
sympathy with the work that we have
there done. and that they will gladly
acquiesce in the necessity that COM
pels me to remain away until election
day. HIRAM w. JOHNSON.

WHAT DEMOCRATS GOT

lBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Thomas T.
Ryan, the New York trolley magnate,
testified before the contributions com :
mittee today that he gave 100000 to
Parker's campaign in 1904, although he
was opposed to Parker before the nom
ination. This money was given to pay
the election debts and keep the party
from disgrace, according to Ryan. He
declared he knew nothing of the 1908
contributions. This year he gave Har-
mons managers $4,000, because he
believed any good Democrat but Bryan
could be elected.
George w. Perkins was the next wit
ness. He said in 1904 President Mccall
of the New York Life Insurance Co.
authorized him to advance $4,000 to
the Republicans for the policy holders.
