SEES VICTORY SURE
Ex-S Secretary BaIIinger Confident
of Republican Success.
Thinks Present Administration Has
Been a Failure and the Progress
sive Party to Be a Thing
of the Past.

Former President Taft, in the opin-
ion of Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle,
secretary of the interior in the Taft
cabinet, will not be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for presi.
dent, unless circumstances should
arise that would make Mr.. Taft the
most likely candidate. Judge Bal
linger is confident the Republicans will
win in the next national election.
IT am not authorized to speak for
MI. Taft" said Judge Ballinger. But
my opinion is that he has no thought
of becoming a candidate next year. If
a condition should arise whereby the
nomination of Mr.. Taft would appear
to be the wisest thing for the Repub-
lican convention to do, and he should
consent to have his name considered,
l have no doubt he would be nominated
and triumphantly elected. His admin
istration has been amply vindicated,
and every day he is gaining in popu-
larity.
"The Republicans will win next year
beyond a doubt. l base this opinion on
the utter failure of the present admin
istration to comprehend the necessities
of business, and it's apparent inability
to grasp the administrative functions
Of government This is exemplified in
all its legislative policies. There can
be no doubt the American people want
peace, but they also want our flag re-
spected. Peace at any price is not the
slogan of Americans; peace with hon.
or is.
"The Progressive party appears to
be practically extinct in almost all sec
tions." added Judge Ballinger. There
fore. with the Democratic administra
ton discredited with the people, as il
appears to be, / am confident the ole
organization will triumph in the cleo
ton of next year, electing not only the
president, but the house Of representa-
tives."

Republican PRINCIPLES Unchanged.

"The principles of the Republican
party do not differ in any material
manner from the principles laid down
when the party was organized in 1856"
declared Edward R. Tinker of North
Adams, Mass. THE first vote l cast
was for Henry Clay in 1874, and I
voted for the first Republican candi-
date for president and for every Re-
publican candidate since then. In
my opinion the Republican party
today is as sound as it was in
the beginning, and is just as pro-
gressive as any political party. It
does not need any advice how to run
the government. 1t was the construc.
tive policies of the Republican party
that made this nation great, and the
principle Of protection, which has been,
and is, the most important principle of
the party, is just as great today as it
was in the beginning. You will see
that in the next election the people
will be heard, and that protection and
Republicanism will come back, not
withstanding the party has not had a
new idea In 80 years.
Il have seen defeat and victory in
the 70 years l have voted, and the con.
ditions today, rs l observe them, are
more propitious for Republican sue
cess next year than at any time when
the Republicans, out of power, were
seeking to return to power.

make up a collection, containing some

chou shalt have no other God before

hope of success and he chose to have
the Lord as that one Master. What
he was and had and hoped to be be.

the Master desired. Where he was

those who are gone could, from their

Gods way is best.
The men of Sodom lived for self

and, while he was not a perfect man,
there was given to him the peace OF
