value to them than the presidency itself. The case is tersely put by Dave Mulvane, national con- mitteeman for. Kansas, one of Tafts henchmen:
 Now you fellows have got an inkling of what you are going to get, are you going to waste our time going over all these con- tests? We can't elect Taft, but we are going to hold on to this organization, and when we get back four. years from now We will have it and those damned insur- gents"
 The position SO clearly stated by NIT. Mulvanc makes it under standable why the majority of the National Republican conven- tiOn launched MT. Taft, in a tub, over the troubled waters of a po- litical Niagara. IL is not that they do not see his fate, but rath- CT they are considering their own.

The PrOgressives still adhere to their former idea that Elihu is the Root of all evil.
 It takes an effort on the part of the standpat Republicans to. smile over their Chicago success.
 If they are really loyal the Wickershamites will swing in line with the National Progressives.
 It is now up to the Democratic party to show that they can do the right thing at the Opporune moment.

TAFT'S NOMINATION.

roller William Howard Taft has been nominated for d second term ln the presidency and "Slln- ny Jim" Sherman has been again given him as a running mate.
 With all the power of the ad- miniSlraiinn at his back: with the craft and cunning of the ma chinr and with three months start in organization with Inc field on the convention floor abandoned tn him. William How ard TafI waS r"-nominairh by a bare majority!
 Three and half years ago Pres ~id"nI Taft entered upon his duties more firmly rnirrnchrd in ollir" than any of his prrdrrcs- SnrS since ih" formation of the republic. There was no organ iZatinn aligned against him; what was left of the Democracy was scattered io the four winds. sue cerding a most disastrous defeat of the "nrmIrS of the Republican party. The country had been hypnntizrd into a belief in the va gcrirS of Colonel Roosevelt and were looking upon his success SSor as q specially sent ruler from heaven.
 Taft had barely taken his chair of office when he had begun dis appointing his admirers and amazing his opponents. Within three months of his induction in tn office the President was placed upon inc defensive and within four years il took all the powers of corruption iO defeat an ira iiunal lunaiir.
 Thr fate of President Taft iS that of any man placed in a great position of Irusi who has betrayed the faith nf the people. From the moment of his induc- lion into office hr allied hilmSrIf WiIh the interests as against the mass of tn" people: he has been weak and HS~ilaii ing. as hr only loo clearly showed in his Hlii- Jude lnWar,lS Ihr infamous Ali- rich Iariif bill.
