DO you KNOW, Mr.. VOTER,
WHAT TAFT HAS DONE Z

B Well, if you don't It's because
he has worked so quietly and yet
so effectively that you have failed
to notice it. You have had your
mind distracted by the noise of
wind -jamming politicians.
Mr.. Taft works without brass
band accompaniments. He is not
a politician - he is a gentleman
and statesman.
He is satisfied to work out his
constructive plans and to let his
tory give him due credit-even if
you don't happen to know all he
is doing and has done-eyen if he
is not appreciated by unthinking
people or those who won't take
the trouble to learn for them
8 selves what he has done for the
3 country.
3 But you ought to know what he
has done. It's your business, as
5 stockholder in the biggest con-
3 Germ on earth-the United States
/ to know Mr.. Taft has
Established postal banks, se-
! cured 43 indictments against un-
/ lawful trusts, created a Bureau of
Mines, turned deficit in the
( Treasury into a surplus, wiped out
4 the white slave" traffic, estab-
I lished a board to take the tariff
J out of politics, secured 80 million
year taxes from corporations,
! negotiated peace treaties which
were defeated by Democrats and
) so-called "Progressives," vetoed
Z Free Trade tariff bills which would
! have destroyed American indus
! tries, stopped pork barrel" river
and harbor appropriations, Great
ed a Court of Customs Appeals,
! urged and secured legislation for
8 a parcels post, protected thou
sands of government employees
from the political axe" main
tanned peace in Cuba, abrogated
) the unjust Russian passport
treaty, enforced the eight-hour
law, upheld the Constitution Of
the United States, recommended
worldwide investigation of the
cost of living. insisted on the pass
age of an Employers Liability and
Workmen's Compensation Law,
established Children's Bureau,
placed the Post Office on self
sustaining basis, saved millions
by business methods, pushed work
on the Panama Canal, will apply
Workingmen's Compensation Law
to workmen in Canal zone, and
many other acts and deeds too nu-
merous even to mention briefly.
Now, for your own sake, don't
you honestly think you deserve to
have man like Mr.. Taft, who can
! so wisely and ably manage and
direct your part of this big busi-
ness of running the government?

How PRESIDENT TAFT
ENFORCED PURE FOOD LAWS.

Charles D. Hilles, Chairman of the
Republican National Committee. has
issued the following statement:
Opponents of President Taft's ad-
ministration and of his reelection
have issued a pamphlet containing an
attack upon his administration Of the
Federal health laws.
This is a subject of such direct vital
interest to the American people that
/ deem it due to them to make ex-
plicit and specific denial of the charges
set forth.
President Taft during his entire ad-
ministration has displayed the keen
est interest in the proper enforcement
Of existing Federal health laws. He
has not been content with this, but
has recommended to Congress COM
prehensive legislation providing for a
bureau of public health under which
all the activities Of the Federal Gov
ernment relating to that subject might
be grouped.
On May 29th, 1911, the Supreme
Court of the United States held that
the Pure Food Act did Lot cover the
knowingly false labelling of nostrums
as to curative effect or physiological
action. Less than a month later Pres
ident Taft sent ringing message to
Congress demanding an amendment to
the law.
On August %, 1912, Congress heed
ed the message of the President, and
passed an amendment which cures the
defect in the law pointed out by the
Supreme Court.
The Food and Drugs Act has been
vigorously and effectively enforced
from the beginning. The Act became
effective January /, 1907, and from
that date over 1000 cases have been
transmitted to the Department of JUS
tice for action. In practically all con-
cluded criminal cases convictions have
been secured. In seizure cases de-
crees Of condemnation and forfeiture
have uniformly resulted.
More than 1000 cases have been
successfully prosecuted since March,
1909. Since that date fines amounting
to $4,000 have been assessed against
defendants in criminal cases with
costg Of equal or greater amount, and
DEGREES of condemnation and forfeit
ure have been taken against more
than 500 shipments of foods and
drugs. Reports received y the Blu
reau of Chemistry from its labora-
tories in different sections of the
country show conclusively that the
successful prosecutions of violators
Of the Food and Drugs Act have pro-
duced marked improvement In the
sanitary condition of factories and in
the quality of foods and drugs.
During the administration Of Presi-
dent Taft 168 defendants have been
convicted Of violations of the meat in
spection law, thousands of dollars
have been collected in fines, and in
some cases Jail sentences have been
imposed.

INTERVIEW WITH THE CADILLAC
Do You Want to Send Our Automobile
Business to Europe?

Do You Want to Send Our Automobile
Business to Europe?
Detroit, Mich.-"The American Pro-
tective tariff system is of vital i'm
portance to every American factory,
workshop and industrial plant. Be-
cause this is fact the writer has
given the question of protection much
study for the past few years. During
that time there has been no effort to
lower the tariff rates or any really
concerted effort to change them that
has not resulted in serious indus
trial depression, with the further re-
suit that thousands of American work
men have been layed off and factories
closed, or worked on short time, and
a material reduction in the number Of
men employed. AS a nation we are
paying the highest wages paid to me-
chanics and operatives anywhere in
the world. Our prosperity is largely
due to our tariff, which protects US
against the cheap labor and cheap
material of other nations.
"To illustrates: Take our business
in the manufacture Of automobiles.
If we were assured that free trade is
to prevail in this country we could
close out our business here and trans
fer it to Belgium, Hungary, China, ia
pan, or some other country where
wages are at the present time from
10 to so per cent of what they are
here, and where the material used is
also much cheaper than in this coun-
try. We could then, after paying
freight, put these same automobiles
down in New York for perhaps so to
so per cent. of the cost to make them
in this country, and the competitor In
the United States who continued to
manufacture car to compete with
us in price and quality would have
but one course left open to him, and
that would be to close his place and
go out of business. What we could do
with automobiles could be done with
the manufacture of boots, shoes sew
ing machines, guns, machine tools, To-
comotives and nearly everything we
manufacture in the United States.
s'It is SO forceful and convincing to
any thoughtful person when he rea-
sons it out that il we buy an auto
mobile, for instance, in Belgium, then
we have the automobile and they have
the money; and when the automobile
is worn out we have no auto, and Bel
gium still has the money; and If we

Il Is not believed that the game will
be doctored at all when the Rules Com
mittee meets again, being satisfied with
the results achieved by the past seasons

One OF the surprises OF the season
was the importance Of field goals. 1t
was thought with the increased value o:

In which no winner was determined.
Harvard easily carried of the honors
