TAFT A REPUBLICAN LEADER

TAFT A REPUBLICAN LEADER
The attempt of Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., publicity agent for gang of
Washington politicians calling them
selves the republican party to read
William Howard Taft, out of the re-
publican party will not make any
votes for the little coterie at Wash
ington who want to run this govern
ment according to their own plan.
William Howard Taft is today the
leading republican of this nation.
He has had a greater, wider and
more varied experience in govern
mental work than any man in the
United States today. Theodore Roose-
welt declared him to be 1.-THE most COM
petent man in America" and that was
before he had served as president.
Surely that experience did not take
anything from his competency or his
knowledge. His experience as gov
ernor of the Philippine Islands, where
he made an enviable reputation IN adj
ministering those islands in the most
turbulent period of their history, was
a greater experience and gave MIN
more knowledge of public affairs than
any of his critics ever have had or
ever will have.
For an upstart like Jonathon
Bourne, Jr., picked up in the wllds
of Oregon and transported to Wash
ington, D. c., and installed by the
little coterie of would-be republican
leaders as press agent, to tell real
Americans what to think, and what
they stand for, to say thatMr Taft
is mentally irresponsible" and lntl-
mate that the former president has
lost his mind is an insult that real
Americans will resent.
Mr. Taft is so far above Jonathan
Bourne and his employers and the
newspaper editors who publish his
rot, that there can be no comparison.
Some men are so weak mentally that
they think the only way to cut
any figure in politics is to abuse
some great man.
The association of which Mr..
Bourne is secretary, sends out several
times week, letters containing just
such silly twaddle as appeared IN the
Globe recently, about Mr..
Taft being mentally irresponsible"
and ask that newspapers publish this
kind of rot. The organization calls
itself the Republican Publicity AS
ISOLATION" but we cannot believe that
the men and women who make up the |
Grand Old Party ever heard of this
organization or ever did or ever will
endorse its campaign of misrepresen-
alton and villification.
This association should be sup
pressed and denied the use OF the
nails Should Mr.. Taft be the re-
publican nominee for president (and
lie is believed by many republicans
% be the leading candidate for that
,onor) what will Jonathan Bourne
md his employers do? Will they eat
heir words or will they bolt the tick
It? No real republican organization
lies about and abuses a
eading member of that party.

IT is THIS LEAGUE OR N
LEAGUE


Opponents of the peace league of
nations will be puzzled to refute this
telling point in the speech of Senator
4cCumber (Rep.) of North Dakota:
Suppose we refuse to join with the
rest of the world in some scheme to
prevent war, what will happen? AS
surely as the sun shall rise every
great nation will proceed to devise
means for the wholesale destruction
of nations. So desperate will be the
next war that all the hate and all the
venom created by this struggle will
be infinitesimal compared with the
next. And against what race will all
these weapons Of death be used?
Against the white race. We have
preached the reduction of ornaments
for years. Now, present to me, If
you can, better or a safer plan than
that provided in this treaty, or else
acknowledge frankly that we never
intended to conform our acts to our
declarations"

able truth 1t is this league or mol

prompted him after a time to give up
his rooms at the Continental and to
take up his abode in the apartment

completely to cut himself off from

imperfect knowledge of the practical
side of native life in the East, l did

the European community, indeed from
