MANY WORDS OF CHEER
Contributors to the Campaign Fund
Who Believe In President
Tart.

One of the most encouraging fac.
tors in the campaign is the enthusi
asm expressed by the many contrib,
utors to the Republican campaign
fund
TT is my deliberate judgment" "
writes a Chicago merchant, that Mr..
Taft has been one of the best presi-
dents that the United States has had
in the last forty years and 1 believe
that he deserves reelection"
We do not need any change in the
presidency" writes Wisconsin con-
tributor, land in my opinion we are
not going to have any change. Presi-
dent Taft is an honest, able and con-
sctentious man and he deserves and
will receive reelection. In this local
ity the sentiment is coming his way"
Hundreds of letters contain similar
expressions Of opinion. They show
in every section a strong feeling that
President Taft's splendid administra-
ton has made a deep impression and
that people do not want a change.

PRAISE FOR Mr.. TAFT
EDITORIAL COMMUNICATION OF
HIS CHARACTER, HIS ACHIEVE
MENTS AND HIS WISDOM
ALL SECTIONS REPRESENTED
10 Wise, Honorable, Dignified,
Courageous and Safe and His
Triumphant Reelection
Is Predicted

From every section of the country
comes editorial commentator OF
President Taft and of his administra-
ton. Quite a number Of papers which.
until recently, had remained independ-
ent, have, like the Clinton, Ill, Jour
nal, declared their conviction that
only the continuance of present poll
cies will ensure the stability and pros
perity of the agricultural, industrial
and financial interest of the nation.
The president is receiving credit for
his courageous vetoes of free trade
tariff bills, for his efforts to secure
economical administration of the gov
eminent and for his success in i'm
proving social conditions through
recommending and forcefully advo-
eating legislation. A page could well
be filed with extracts from editorial
columns praising the president, but
the following must suffice:

Mr.. Roosevelt's explanation Is I'M
worthy OF consideration for two rea-
sons In the first place, a man in
his position from whom advice and
suggestion had been sought by the
president of the United States ought
not to admit having hastily endorsed
reciprocity without knowing what he
was doing. AS a matter of fact, mir.
Roosevelt's letters and speeches
his record
More than this, Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
PLANTATION is an insult to the intelE-
gent voter because in his letter to
President Taft he says, Il firmly be-
lieve in free trade with Canada"
This is going farther than President
Taft ever went because Mr.. Taft's
idea of reciprocity was to obtain val
liable consideration in return for con-
cessions granted. Roosevelt's free
trade proposition II enacted into law
would break down all the barriers
between Canada and the United
States and would cause tremendous
The fact Is that Mr. Roosevelt was
heartily In favor of reciprocity and
of free trade with Canada until he
made his tour of the west before the
Republican national convention, when
he found that reciprocity was unpop-
ular. Then he shifted His pres
ent attitude demonstrates his utter
insincerity and shows that he is ready
to 90 anything to catch votes. He
is ready to endorse anything that he
believes Is popular and to condemn
that which he thinks Is unpopular
without regard to his own convictions
or wise governmental policies. The
manner in which ne has suddenly re-
versed himself in the hope that by
SO doing he would gain few votes is
an example Of demagogism thorough
ly typical Of his character.
1t Is also important to remember
that il Democratic president should
be elected reciprocity with Canada
would soon be an accomplished fact
inasmuch as the Democrats in the
house OF representatives voted for it
and also voted against repeating the
law which had been passed Demo
cratic reciprocity Is the kind that
the Canadian newspapers are hoping
Canada will secure because it will
mean that Canada will get everything
from the United States and give moth

WAITING 70 SHIP
WOOL TO THE u. S.
Australian Sheep Raisers Anxious for
Democratic Vic
tory.

From the GLASGOW, Mont, Independent.
The Hon. James Bryce, British am
bassador to the United States, has
recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed the hearts of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros
pect of an early reduction in the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted, would mean large increase in
the wool experts from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador is right That Is
just what will happen if the wool tariff
is lowered. and the Montana sheep
men know, because they remember
what happened in 1894 when wool
wasn't worth anything and when sheep
were worth even less. When the Dem
ocratic members Of the ways and
means committee of the house, in the
recent session of congress, presented
their wool bill for consideration, they
claimed that 1t would increase the Inn
ports of wool into America by $780,
1000 pounds.
But there can be no increase in the
consumption of wool and the Amer
lean grower is wondering what would
become Of 190,O0O,00O pounds of his
wool under the Democratic tariff laws.
Nearly 100000 of that 10000, 900 is
grown right here in Montana 1t is no
wonder that England Is urging the
election OF Democratic congress and
that London looks with favor uDOn the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.

BUY FARM IMPLEMENTS CHEAP
Err THAN CANADIAN FARMERS.
CAMPAIGN LIE is NAILED
investigation by State Department
Gives Facts and Figures, and
Michigan Manufacturing Firm
Adds Evidence.

Farmers Buncoed by the High
Tariff" is the title of a publication In
dustriously circulated among farmers
by the Tariff Reform bureau, of New
York, free trade annex of the Demo
cratic party.
1t asserts that American-made farm
implements are sold in Canada at a
lower price than they are obtainable
by American farmers. The purpose
of the statement is to prove that the
American farmers are made to suffer
through the operation of the protect
i've tariff laws.
The statement is false. Plows,
planters, cultivators and other farm
implements made in the United States
cost twenty-five pes cent. more in
Canada than In this country.
The free trade advocates who try
to mislead the American farmer do
not know, apparently, that there Is a
so-called anti-dumping law In Canada
whereby an American manufacturer
cannot sell in that country at a lower
price than at home

WILL GET MORE SALARY
Promotions and Increased Pay for
1900 Railway Mail Clerks.

Still another evidence Of Repub-
ican prosperity and President Taft's
sincerity in endeavoring to benefit
the toiler was manifested when he
recommended to congress that the
clerks in the railway mail service be
classified and given an increase in
wages. There are 1900 clerks in
that branch Of the governments serv-
ice, and the postal appropriations bill
signed by the president just before
congress adjourned carried with it
the promotion with increased pay of
$4,000 men on Oct. 1, 1912, and those
not promoted on that date will re-
ceive more pay at the end Of the cur
rent fiscal year.
The new law provides for three
classes Of railway postal lines with
their transfer and terminal Offices, the
compensation ranging highest on the
lines where the work Is heaviest. Be
ginning with 5000 year, all clerks
who render faithful and efficient serv-
ice receive annual promotions of 500
until they reach the maximum Of the
successive annual grades, after which
they may be promoted at intervals
for specially meritorious service until
their annual compensation reaches
$500 In the highest class. Chief
clerks In the railway mall service re-
ceive $4,000 a year.
More than 100000 year will
be involved In these Increases

Now Outspoken for Taft.

From the Clinton. ILL.,, Journal.
As the journal up to this point In
the campaign has exercised Its pre-
rogative of expressing dislnterested
comment upon issues and candidates,
SO now, as an independent newspaper,
1t feels that the time Is at hand and
the opportunity Is ripe to declare Its
policy on the issues of the day. From
now on until November S, therefore,
the journal will contribute Its efforts
to the success of the principles of the
Republican platform and the re-eIec-
ton of William Howard Taft to the
presidency. 1t is convinced that only
the continuance of present policies
will insure the stability and PROS
perity of the agricultural, Industrial
and financial interests of the nation,
and 1t trembles for the future at the
thought of the havoc and ruin which
the success either of the Democratic
party or of the misnamed progress
siVe" party would mean.

ROOSEVELT AND
RECIPROCITY ISSUE
INSiNCERITY AND DEMAGOGISM
OF THIRD TERM CAN
DiDATE SHOWN.
WHY He SHIFTED POSITION
He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but
Wrote President Taft That He
Firmly Believed In Free Trade
With Canada.

Although reciprocity is now dead
issue, it Is worth while, for the en-
lightenment of those who oppose
President Taft for his endorsement
of reciprocity, to recall the position
taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that
question. Mr. Roosevelt favors free
trade with Canada and was an ardent
advocate and supporter Of reciprocity
until he found that its endorsement
would not help him in his third term
race.
President Taft, while he was con-
sidering the question of reciprocity,
naturally consulted with ex-President
Roosevelt He knew that Mr.. Roose-
welt had been president, that he was
familiar with the subject and that he
was, at that time, a good and loyal
Republican When, In the course OF
a lengthy letter, he asked Mr.. Roose-
velt's advice, he reviewed both sides
of the matter in impartial fashion.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reply was not only a
full endorsement but he went SO far
as to advocate absolute free trade
with Canada Mr.. Roosevelt wrote
as follows:
Roosevelt for Free Trade With Canada.
New York, Jan. IL, 1911.
Dear Mr.. President:
It seems to me that what you pro-
pose to do with Canada is admirable
from every standpoint. ! firmly be-
lieve In free trade with Canada for
both economic and 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 &C
cept such reciprocity l do not know,
but II 10 greatly to your credit to
make the effort.
Ever yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Not only in his letter to President
Taft, but also n speeches Mr. Roose-
welt endorsed reciprocity At Grand
Rapids, Mich, on February Il, 1911,
he said:
Here, friends, in Michigan, right
on the northern frontier, / have the
peculiar right to say a word of con-
graduation to you and to all of US
upon the likelihood that we shall soon
have closer reciprocal tariff and trade
relations with the great nation to the
north of u.s."
And In speech before the Repuh-
ncan club OF New York city, deliv-
cred on February Is, 1911, Mr.. Roose-
Welt gave emphatic endorsement CT
President Taft and reciprocity In the
following words:
81 want to say how glad l am at
the way IN which the members of the
club here tonight responded to the
two appeals made to them to uphold
the hands OF President TAFT, both in
his effort to secure reciprocity with
Canada and In his effort to secure
the fertilization Of the Panama canal.-
Explanation Does Not Explain.
In the face Of this record Mr.. Roose-
Welt now explains his antagon,sm to
reciprocity by saying that he did not
fully understand the proposition and
endorsed it under Z Misrepresentation

President Taft's Diqnified Attitude

TIOIN Tie quincy IIII.J Wig:
President Taft has old-fashioned
but nevertheless admirable ideas, re
garding the dignity of his official sta.
ton. He believes that it III BELTS
the incumbent Of the high Office he
occupies to take the stump and argue
with the people that they should re-
elect him. The record of his admin
istration Is an open book, and If that
record does not commend him to the
favor Of the country he will not go
forth and fmportune voters to give
him another term. The presidents at
titude is an admirable one.
