The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1912-09-19

A few days before the Canadian
reciprocity treaty was ratified by
this country the president sub
mitted a copy of its provisions to
Col. Roosevelt and asked his O.
pinion regarding its wisdom and
public benefit. January u 1911
Mr.. Roosevelt replied as follows:
Dear Mr.. President: l at once took
your letter and went over it with the
Outlook editors. = y \ 1t seems to
me that what you propose to do with
Canada is admirable from every stand
point. l firmly believe in free trade
with Canada for both economic aud
political reasons, AS you say, labor
cost is substantially the same in the
two countries, so that you are amply
justified by the platform. Whether
Canada will accept such reciprocity 1
do not know, but it is greatly to your
credit to make the effort. 1t may
damage the republican party for a
while, but it will surely benefit the
party in the end, especially if you
tackle wool, cotton, etc. as you propose.
Later, after the treaty had been
ratified by this government, he
heartily endorsed it in several
speeches. Two weeks ago, while
speaking at the Minnesota state
fair he said:
The Canadian reciprocity act was a
jughandled arrangement under which
the farmer paid the freight.
But what is the use of quoting
MIR. Rooseyelt's Inconsistencies.
He speaks to tickle the fancy of
his audience, shifting to suit the
changes of sentiment, and no one
knows where he stands on a single
important issue.

A, u drawing card at state fairs
the bull moose candidates do not
seem to be a glowing success. A
gentleman who attended the state
fair in Minnesota was in Scotland
one day last week and he said the
attendance while Mr.. Roosevelt
was there was less than half what
it was liz the afternoon of the same
day after he had gone. Gov.
Johnson of California, candidate
for vice president on the progress
i've ticket was at the state fair in
Huron one day, and the attendance
while he vas there was less than
half what it was on some of the
other days. Some of the Scotland
citizens who were there aud heard
his address remark upon the small
amount of enthusiasm that his
speech created.

Mr. Taft's title indisputable that all
men agree on every one of the issues
raised. They were decided by the tri-

such contests. II those tribunals acted

matter OF fact, an examination Of the
Facts show that the tribunals were

the slightest evidence that they were
moved by other than a mere desire to
reach q right conclusion. On the other
hand, the action Of the Roosevelt men
IN bringing 16O contests that they
promptly abandoned strongly tended
show the lack Of good faith in the
prosecution Of all Of them. Those who
support President Taft can well afford

seat was uncontested The three con
testants admitted they were not elect
ed by the convention which sent the
Taft delegates or by any other. They
only contended that II the Roosevelt
forces had had a majority they would
have been elected. There were 1856
delegates summoned to the convention
by its call. There were 40 Of these
whose seats were contested. If all OF
these had been conceded to Roosevelt
1t would have made the Roosevelt vote
297 votes less than a majority. The
appeal to the committee on credentials
from the decision of the national com.
mtttee was abandoned, as 1t ought to
have been.
Michigan.
In Michigan the state convention
had In 1t about 1900 delegates There
were only two counties in dispute OF
contest. One was Wayne county. In
which Detroit is situated. and the othel
was Calhoun county. The evidence
left no doubt that the Taft men car
ried by a very large majority Wayne
county, but it was immaterial whether
this vas true or not, because, leaving
out both Wayne county and Calhoun
county, the only counties In contest,
the Taft delegates outnumbered by
several hundred the Roosevelt dele
gates, and they had a clear majority
out of the total number of votes that
should have been In the convention.
The contest was so weak as to hardly
merit recital.

which four have no county govern
