irving to Disrupt the Republican Organization

The sun lost emphaticalIy endorses the platform Of principles
mt forth by the g. called progressive republicans with a very few
e,ceptions The principles set forth there. with the exceptions of
noninatiop of officers by primaries, are such AS every old-line repub.
I;oans hos been working for these many years. There is NOTHING
nav n n Of the principles there set fourth. 1t is the men who ara
them forth and the manner in which they are doing it that
counts. They say that the last Legislature" improved the system
Of AVIATION. We rather think that it was not the last Legislature
but the IN before that, which began a system OF lettering our tax
alton laws and if the Legislators will follow along the lines laid out by
tho 10Th Legislative Assembly W e will soon have laws that will enable
us to have equitable taxation all along the line. We can heartily
endorse the plan for good automobile roads in Yellowstone National
pork for more equitable land laws and for a state board equalization
The fact of the business is, the pogressives, as they call them
selves. are many of them in the democratic camp and it would be
better for the republicans if they would ali pack their grips and 90
there. Then we would know just who were friends and who
ware ~ enemies. Their real aim is to divide the republican ranks
and thus defeat Senator Warren and Congressman Mondel in the
coming strupgle. They condemn machine rule" in one breath and
land if in the next. Machine rule! Certainly! No party, no gov
eminent, no institution worthy the name has succeeded except by
having a head and party leaders working in harmony for a specified
purpose. Even this attempt to disrupt the republican ranks will
y to pot if it is not we'll organized and will disciplined. So let
them look well to their ranks, or the republican machine" will wallop
the stuffn' out of them before they get thru.

came al the accredited representative of a citizenship whose delegates
in convention assembled, denounced the state administration then in

and promised in return for votes, 4 speedy termination of all manner
of deceit and a quick realization of all plans proposed for the watering
of their lands. More than that-Joseph M. Carey pledged himself.

What is the Matter with President Taft7

Even before the Roosevelt administration closed one heard the remark
frequently made that "whoever followed Roosevelt in the Presidential
office would have a strenuous time" Roosevelt il the only really
aggressive President we have ever had-the only one to get up at
O'Clock in the morning and see that all hired help were out in the pillow
field by the time it was light enough to see. He made things move
on the old farm and we all felt that the manager who followed him
would be criticised if he did not get up and hustle just a little harder
than Roosevelt did.
If We had never had such a mu IS Roosevelt for president we
would think President Taft the finest ever He hrs undoubtedly
made the best president outside of Roosevelt that we ever had, but
because he is nota better one we are just a little disappointed.
While he did not inaugurate the vigorous prosecution of the trusts be
has carried out the Roosevelt policy with vigor and success. The
way was clear for him, all he had to do was to follow the well-blazed
trail and he would get there.
Then what is the matter with President Taft that the republican
party is not solidly behind him for a second term? There are a few
to have some n step up and put his finger n one that amounts to
enough to cause dissatisfaction. Where there is one defect in Taft
there re two in Roosevelt. Taft is sound on the recall of Judges
endum, direct election of Uuted States senators, etc. BE is pro-
badly the most eminent jurist We ever had as president and all his acts
have been sound and will sta d the test of time. So, a a
matter of fact, there is nothing the matter with Taft. The fact of
the whole business is, that the American people have had a taste of
Roosevelt administration, and they like it. They like his vigorous
and aggressive style. He does things, and if anything gets in his
way, h KICKS 1t out without any apology. He has an intuiive way
of getting at the gst of everything that comes before him. He ia
an absolutely clean man in every way, and he embodies, in a very
essential manner, all the vigorous traits of honesty and integrity which
make up the ideal American citizen. And SO there is just a kind of
general ground swell, turnout all the land, a kind of general feeling,
among rich and poor high and low, that we need four years more of
Roosevelt-and we are going to get it.
