the other to serve as q library. The
low windows were set with uniform
simplicity; one on either side Of the

of a Saturday Evening Post article
written by ex-President Taft. Mr.
Taft points out that the sources from
which the Roosevelt votes came we're
the Republicans as well as the Demo
Gratis who were carried along by his
radicalism and who believed that in
equalities and sufferings in human
society could be relieved by the adop-
ton of governmental measures advo-
Gated by Roosevelt. Added to these
were the company of the disconnected
who were glad to find their home
with party that was a protest
against everything that was and gave
therefore promise of a change in
their own conditions. Reviewing
these facts Mr.. Taft comes to the
fair conclusion that Roosevelt was
far from receiving at the polls the
support of a majority Of all the voters
who had a right to voice in the
selection at Chicago of the Republican
candidate for the presidency.
