TALKING ABOUT sTRAWs.

The Billings (Mont.) Daily Gazette
which has been a strong Roosevelt pa
per until recently, has come over to
Taft, the editor giving his reasons for
the change in double-column article
declaring that he sees no hope for the
success of the Third Term party, and
is convinced that the cause of real re.
form can be best promoted by con.
tinuing the Republican party in power.
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger of bringing about adverse
business conditions through a change
in administration, and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies. 1t is a
most significant editorial, and as the
Gazette is the most important paper in
Montana, its influence upon the cleo
ton can hardly be measured. 1t Is only
another one of the innumerable signs
that the Third Term party has col.
lapsed, that the country realizes the
fight is between the Republican party
and the Democratic party, and that no
possible benefit could be derived from
a change.

emphatically victory for the policy
of protection. Upon his return home
he gave a highly interesting state
ment to the Cincinnati Commercial

excepted
1T is the duty of every Republican
who wants to support the Republican
party and Republican principles to re.
member that there is no way to sup
port the party and its principles ex

Nobody else pretends to represent

HADLEY IS FOR Taft
Roosevelt's Former Manager Comes
Out Square for the
President.

Gov. Hadley, of Missouri, who wa,
one of Roosevelt's managers at the Re
publican national convention, and who
had charge of the contest made by
Roosevelt delegates, has declined to
follow the Third Term candidate out
of the Republican party, and has de-
clared that he will support President
Taft. In speech at Jefferson City
Mo-, he said:
Il hope that these many highmind.
ed but believe, mistaken men, who
have thought there was greater in
terest to be subserved by Joining in
the organization of the new party and
the nomination of another State tick
et will yet see that by such acts they
are simply doing that which tends to
insure Democratic success. And I
hope that they will come back TO the
party which has stood for decency;
that has stood for sane and effective
progress In the conduct of public af.
fairs
After appealing to Republicans to
support the Republican nominees,
Gov. Hadley pointed out in his speech
that the Democrats were pledged to
the same kind of tariff legislation as
they gave to the country after the
Democratic victory of 1892 He said
that no Republican could associate
himself with those whose efforts tend
ed to insure Democratic success.

FIGURES BY T. j. BENNETT

There has been a cry during this
campaign that the county commission
ers have been extravagant in the use
of county money, out of justice to
the present board, and particularly
to myself on account o fine asking
the voters to return me in my pre-
sent position. I make the following
statement which the records of Bing-
ham county bear me out in, when the
present commissioners took over the
affairs of Bingham county the indebt-
edness of the new Bingham county
was $26,S00 at the end of the year,
1912, our total Indebtedness will only
be $500 showing a reduction of
over $4,000 practically putting
Bingham county out of debt, some
thing unknown in its history.
Also there has been some COM
plant about using to much money on
our roads, will give the figures
comparing the year 1910, and the
year 1912 and let you Mr.. Taxpayer
Judge if we have been extravagant in
this matter In the year 1910 Bing-
ham county spent for roads and
brides $4S,552.O6, in 1912 $37,176.-
Al compare these figures and then
compare the condition of the roads
and then show me where the commits
sioners have been eXtravagant and
waster your money.

MUST VOTE FOR TAFT
Roosevelt, Who Cannot Be Elected
Says That Wilson's Election Means
Nationwide Disaster.

Col. Roosevelt, the Third Term can.
didate, cannot possibly be elected
There is no way in which he can car
ry enough states to give him 266 cleo.
toral votes.
But by dividing the Republican
party, Col. Roosevelt can aid in elect.
ing Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate. Should Wilson be elected {?
Roosevelt says that Wilson's election
would plunge this country into nation
wide disaster. Here are Roosevelt's
own words written in the Outlook of
July, 27, 1912:
IF DR.. Wilson were elected, he
would either have to repudiate the
promises made about the tariff in the
Democratic platform or else bring ev-
cry industry in the country to a crash
which would make all panics in our
past history seem like chiId's play in
comparison. In short, were DR.. Will
son elected on this platform, he would
be obliged at the very outset of his ad
ministration to face the alternatives
of dishonesty or disaster, the alterna-
tives or refusing to carry out the ex-
pressed pledges of the platform, or
else of causing such disaster to ev.
cry worker in the country as would
mean nationwide ruin"
AS Roosevelt cannot be elected, and
as Roosevelt says that Wilson's cleo.
ton would mean disaster it is log
ical conclusion that the vote of the
country must be given to President
Taft.
