For President: William Howard Taft. For Vice President: James S. Sherman. There is such a thing as pro gressing too far, is this what has happened to the progressives. If you are a true blue republi can abide in the ship, if you are a> gainst the republican party join the democrats, but don't be a bolter. Colonel Roosevelt, who has just bolted the Chicago Republic an convention, is prominently spoken of as the Democratic candidate of the Baltimore con vention. The Democrats could go farther and do worse. With Roosevelt as their candidate they would at’ least be sure of carry ing North Carolina. We want to caution our opubli* can friends, especially those who have espoused the cau^e of Col onel Roosevelt, to think well be fore following him farther. If you are a republican your duty is to abide in the ship, you had a right to espouse his cause for the nomination, but now that he has tnrned his back upon the party that has honored him from Street coR?missioner in the city of New ’Y ork, to Governor and then to the Vice Presidency and even to the Presidency by the largest electoral vote ever given a candi date, he is no longer entitled to your encouragement and support when he cut loose from the re publican party, he severed the tic that binds, it is now the duty of all loyal republicans to stand by the nominee of the republican convention to the end that they may aid in helping to foster and maintein the party in power who has made and executed all the laws for the benefit of the laboring man for the past fifty years, remain in the old ship still and let those bolt who will. It profit you Mr. Democrat who apparently ia rejoicing over the great split in the Rejpublir can party. What will this pro fit you when you see the samd identical ghost rising before your view in the democratic ranks. Can you not plainly see the one whom you call “Peer less” the leader of the progres sive element of your party de manding that you nominate a progressive, a man after his own' heart, if not he himself. Will you submit to the lash or will you name as your presiding officer in your convention a re actionary and thus demolish ihe orator who has thrice been tram pled in the du?t if you do what will the Republican split profit you? If you do not will you not be in a worse condition than if Mr- Bryan and his forces are trampled? It appears that Mr. Bryan would rather see his chosen few be the select than to see the masses rule. At present we feel that Mr. Bryan is the most val uable asset the Republican par ty has. When the water is fine he troubles it. With present Democratic conditions we ask the question again What will the great Republican Split profit You? Our PositioD. The Dispatch is a Republican paper, and tharefore we are for the Republican nominee. This paper did not advocate any can didate. We felt that those who were looking after this pprt of the program were capable of choosing not only wisely but well. Now that the convention lias named its choice, we are for William Howard Taft, for Presi dent, and James S. Sherman for Vice President. This ticket has led us to victory once and we ber lieve that it can lead us to victo ry £^ain. We are going to do our part by giving them our he^y and loyal support, confi- 4^it in the ultimate wisdom pf WUt will b Profit yoQ? We ask Uie qaestsm what will A Duplicate for Chicago. Su.bstitute William Jennings Bryan for Theodore Roosevelt and the situation which confronts the Democratic convention at its opening at Baltimore is but a re petition of the Republican situa tion at Chicago. At both places the irreconcilable conflict is be tween the radical and the con servative progressive wings of the party. At both places the national committee stands for the conservatives and is deter mined on the Destruction of the disturbing element. By a curious coincidence the figures are almost the same In Chicago the nation al comi|dttee stood 32 members against Col. Roosevelt: At Bal timore 31 in favor of the select- on of Judge Alton Parker of New York for the temporary chair man oKthe convention. In Chi cago Mr. Roosevelt’s hat was in the ring. At Baltimore Mr. Bryan has thrown his hat into the ring and as in Chicago the committee welcome the chal lenge. The same violent language is to be heard. Mr. Bryan Tues day night gave out a statement that recalled Col. Roosevelt at his best. The majprity of the national committee, said Mr. Bryan, is under the control of the ‘ ‘preda tory interests.” “Talk about harmony,” he said, is absurd. The Belmont -Ryan-Murphy crowd, which dictated Mr. Taft's renomination, is as active here as at Chicago, and the same cor rupting influences are seeking to control this convention. ” If Mr. Parker did not know who is behind his candidacy, de clared Mr. Bryan, he was not qualified intellectually to be the temporary chairman; if he did know it, he should not be per mitted to sound the keynote in a Democratic convention. All of which brings back to memory the fervent proclamations which Mr. Roosevelt gave out every day at Chicago last week. It is said that three months ago the national committee offer ed the temporary chairmanship to Mr. Bryan himself, but that he did not'accept it. Then Mr. Parker was chosn solely on the grounds that he was the only other living ^ emocratic pres dential candidate, to the charge that he was not a progressive it was pointed out that he hi^d pre sided in 1910 at the Rochester convention, which adopteift a platform thstn which only one state in the Union, nsumely, Oklahoma, has adopted a more rascal one. The Clark lexers, for^^i^^lonel Bryan's bitter judge said to have suggest^ Mr. James name to Mr. Bryan about a Facing Crisis Says Mr. Taft. ashington, June President Tafi tonight made the follow ing statement: . , j. M “The national convention of one of the great parties is ordinarily important only as a, preliminary to a national catnpaign ix»r tne election of a President. The Chicagro convention just ended is much more than this and is in itself the end of a nre-eonven tton campaign presenting ^ crisis more threaiening issues more important than those of the election campaign whKih is. lo loliow between the two great national parties. The question here at stake was whether the Republican party was to change its attituaeas the chief conservator in the nation of constitutional representative i^vernment and was to weaken the constitutional guarantees oi life, liberty and property and aU other rights declared sacred in the Bill of Rights, by abandoning the principle of the absolute in dependence of the judiciary, essential to the niaintairiance of those rights. The campaign carried on to seize the Repubhcan P^ty and make it the instrument of reckless ambition and trie unsetthng of the fundamental principles of our government was so sudd^en and linex^cted that time was not g^ven closely to show to the people and the party the dangers which confronted them. It was sought to break the wise and valuable tradition against ^ing more than two terms to any one man in the pres^idency and the (i^nger from its breach could not be measured. The important or the great victory which has been achieved can not be over-estimt- ed. All oyer this country patriotic people toni^.t are breathing more freely that a most serious menace to our Republic has ‘ ‘It is not necessary tonight to spe^ of the resits in November and of theassues which may arise between the Repubhcan and Democratic parties during the presidential campaign. It will Ke^ime enough to do that after the a^’tion of the convent- tion at ) aiumore. It is enough now to that whatever may hapj^n in ^"oytmber, ^reat victory for the Republican party and the United States has already won. The party reniains as a grtat powerful organization for carrying out its patriotieprinciples as ^ agency of real progress in the development of the natioiii along the constitutional lines upon which it was constructed and has been maintained; and its future opportunity for usefulness is as great as its achievements in the past. ” ’ A>k the women A'tio ^ car theiri" . ■.

Democratic Member Joke Republicans. Washington, Jun^ 24—For forty minutes today the House enjoyed itself over the situation in which the Republican party finds i^iself because of the Chi cago convention’s results. Re presentative Phillip Campbell of Kansas started in by having read a letter written by former Pres ident Roosevelt in 1908 extolling the virtures of, President Taft then a candidate. Republicsn applause greeted the phrases containing fulsome praise for President Taft, Democrats laughed uproariously. When the reading was finished.
