OUR TICKET.
For President:
William Howard Taft.
For Vice President:
James S. Sherman.
Presideuual eleetion.
Those who are disatislied are
certainly so from ' some other
cause and not from the want of
prosperity.
Can Wilson Do It?
Remember, as you go about
from day to day prfdicting
what the result will be on the
5th of November that, ^ Wilson
cannot defeat Taft and if Wil
son is elected he will !receive
his election from Theodore Roose
velt. Bear in mind that Bryan
the strongest man in the Demo
cratic party four years ago and
the man who nominated Wilson
received only Qhe Hundred and
sixty-two of the Four Hundred
and eighty-three electoral votes.
Taft receiving Three Hundj^ed
and twenty-one or only One short
of twice the number of Bryan.
Is Wilson stronger than Bryan?
Can he draw more support? We
fail to see the point. Bear in
mind that'history records the e-
lection of only two Democratic
Presidents without the support
of New York. Was it not plain
ly demonstrated that the strength
of New York was string in fav
or of the nomination of Clark,
and stuck to him to a finish. Qh
the other hand was not the New
\ork Republican pledged for
Taft? Did they not get their
he had denounced these heresiesi.
His onjy expla,nation for tli®
channe was that his arguiaent re*
mained sound, but the facts did
not support them.
Here is the weakness of W^il-
son—his power to make the worse
appear the better r eason, his ab-
bility to confound his own judge*
ihent with sophistries of Uogic
ful] of cunningly^ disgaised fal
lacies. He is a ntiaster in facility
and felicity of speech, and his
powers of intellect cannot be
gainsai^,. Every psycholopis, is
familiar with the type of think
er whose thought follows his
words, and this type is common
ly fluent and, even brilliant and
versatile, but datijgerous, confi
dent and delusive ii^i the conclijiv
siona reaj^ed. Governor Wilsop
could siiil^rt any thefsis and coiij-
found any position by the verf
ingenuity and pJai^bility of his
speech. This makes, him a sfeni
foeman. One wKoisan expe^
in the field theoretical politics
a»? is Dr. Vvisson,. but who has
never couches business at its re-
mofeest corner, would be liable to
make tremendous mistake and
commit grave errors in the con
duct of the business of the coun
try, which, after all, calls not for
brilliance, but for soundness of
knowledge and btability of judg
ment. Dr. Wilson is in no sense
an economist. His field of ad-

into the countrj? he located the

small boy very busy whittling.

No Shut-Down In Big Steel Mills
Pittsburg, Pa. Ju*ly 7-With
the thermometer at eighty-nine
degrees, steel and iron manu
facturers in Pittsburg have an
nounced there will be no summer
suspension of the mills. This is
unprecedented, for in the past no
matter how big the boom in in
dustrials. there has been a shut
dpwn of about a month, and often
six weeks during the heated
period. Labor is as scaroe as it
v/as a month ago, ard the big
coporalions are still keeping men
at ports of entry on the sea coast
to get as many as possible of
the foreign laborers coming in.
The above report is one of the
many which come out in the
newspapers from day to day and
which speak the prosperous times
of our country. It should be re-
mem uered that this is a strong
endorsement for the national
leaders of our nation. It is far
froxm the times of soup houses
or the issuing of “scrip’'. It
should also be itmembered that
these prosperous times are in the
midst of summer months when
business is almost always stag
nant no matter who is President
and only a few months of a
Wilson has won the nomination
of the Democratic party. The
New Jersey Governor by sheer
powers of endurance carried the
day in the Baltimore Convention.
Phenomenal in the number of the
ballots cast to grin the necessary
two thirds, phenomenal as w^ell
in the bitterne ss that marked the
proceedings, this Conventioii will
go down in history as unparallel
ed in important respects. The
Democratic hosts have brought,
they fondly believe, in sight of
the promised land. It is ominous
that at the brink of their anti
cipated return to power, they fell
down to worship the golden calf
of Braynism. Bryan is no longer
to be thought of in the relation
to silver; he is plethoric in purse;
he is a past master of dictatorial
demand; he is a satisfied auto
crat. He holds Democratic major
ity in the hollow of his hands.
An ominous sign is it for t^e
Democracy entering upon this
contest that it gained the nomi
nation of Wilson by the grace
and by the force of William
Jennings Bryan.
Bryan before the Convention
was a respectable piece of party
bric-a-brac, and the aspiring
leaders of the par^y came here
in full expfectation that he would
remain such for the ends of har
mony. Instead he sent the ap
ple of discord.rolling into the
halls of the little gods, and from
that moment the vaunted peace
and accord of the Democracy was
no more.
The rancor of the wounds made
at the convention will remain.
Bryan has virtually passed New"
York into the hands of the 'Re
publicans, even admitting; that
the Empire State without the ag
gravation to its-voters offered by
Bryan would have gone Demo
cratic. The safe and sane con
servative sentiment of the coun
try will range itself with the
Republican ticket and with the
record of Taft. The conservative
progressive element of the coun
try will vote him back to the
White House, He stands
for effective nationalism. Gov.
Wilson by his own actnission was
converted to the initiative, the
referendum and the recall after
more senous m these respects,:
but without the candor of con- ■
fession. These are facts of train |
ing and facts of temperament
that are bound to corae to the
fore as he discusses the platform
of his party.
The republican party has no
thing to fear in the appearance
of Woodrow Wilson as the antag-1
onist of President Taft. The
contest will be vigorous, and
the advantages rest with the man"
who has derftonstrated his fitness
to pass upon the great eeonomical
questions of the times and to
make ' his administration pre
eminently one of industrial sign
ificance. The business of tie
country will turn to Taft. The
industries of the country
demand him.

Three Kind Of Roosevelt Men.
“There are already three kind
of Roosevelt men. First, there
are those who will stick closely
to the republican party and vote
for Taft,I and Gov. Hadley of
Missouri is their mo^t notablef-
representative. Second, there
are the kind who will go' strai
ght over to the democrats,
attracted by Wilson and they
are well represented by Gov.
Osborn. Third, there are those
who will follow Mr. Roosevelt j
with fanatical loyalty, wherever
he may lead them, and they are
best represented by men like
Pinchot, Mr. Perkins and Mr.
Musley. The simple fact that
his former following is thus div
ided, leaving the colonel with
but a fraction or his preconven
tion' support, must be admitted
to be a very discouraging phase
of the situation for the propos
ed new party; nothing but Mr.
Roosevelt’s own- determination
to be a candidate can now keep
the movement for anew party
it is more apparent today than
before since the Chicago conv
ention that there is nothing to
the new party movement but a
personality. If Mr. Roosvelt
should decide to make a campa
ign for the presidency not only
against President Taft but again
st Woodrow Wilson, the only
issue he could present worth the
country’s consideration would
be Roosvelt, Those who should
support him would stake every
thing on the man; the party gat-
thered upin his train would dis
appear like the liet before the mor
ning sun the moment Roosevelt’s
personality was elininated from
our politics Such parties are not
needed in> this county, in fact,
they have dangerous qualitjes,
while their leaders survive, owing
to the devotion of the rank and
file to a mere, hero instead of to
a cause or a great ideal.
