La Junta tribune., 1914-11-28
ssandpas Finity Very Positive as 10
Cause Of Defeat Of Hubert Work
still Nursing drudge.


Mr.. Taft was the embodiment Of
standpat ideas and theories Of gov
ernment. but how far did he get in
l9l2-just through Utah and YER
mont, that's all. The republican
party will be restored to power in
1915 providing It gets rid OF some Of
It's standpat barnacles and adopts
progressive ideals. but not otherwise.
Meanwhile the standpatters should
not be too confident that everything
IL plain sailing from now on. A
good many things can happen In two
years. The war in Europe is only
four months old. and a good many
things have happened over there.
