The big Whife House ait Washington and the Little White House at Sea Girt are under temporary eclipse and will probably remain so until af ter the 5th of August when this Progressive ‘Republican party have rounded up their nomina tion.' It is claimed by those who ^e closest in touch that forty states will be represented and that it will not take over two ^ys to complete the work mapped out by the leaders. " ^ ; ' The birth of this pe^j^ty .as is generally known was at Orchestra Hall immediately fol- owing the adjournment •f the regular Republican Conr vention at Chicago last, month. What its outcome will be is being carefully watched. That Theodore Roosevelt will be nominated by this convention, is a foregone conclusion. Al- though he stated in his speech at Orchestra Hall that he would gladly support any prograssive nominated at the proposed con vention, it is not thought likely that any name Dut his will be presented. He will the^ be nom inated by acclamation, a running mate for him will be named, a platform, which has already been drawn up, will be adopted, a nat ional committee named ‘ the party will then leap into the presi- dental race. IS That peace should begin home in a political campaign generally believed. at is Generally speaking, Wilson must be considered mild. But little has been heard of him sin ce his nomination. A Sane Taft Campaign. Managers of the Taft c^impaign have wisely decided to conduct their fight along sdne lines. They realize that the people have al ready grown weary of the bush whacking and blunderbuss styles Lafollette has his weekly, Bry -1 that Roosevelt put into the ante- an his Commoner and Roosevelt | convention battle and will wel- his Outlook, but Taft and Wilson j come a return and-strict adher- are compelled to worry along , ence to sound political- methods with no means of expressing j They will .therefor&iiae solid «r- their opinion^ except the press guments instead of big sticks, of the country. The long expected and carefu lly prepared answer of the Taft faction to the reiterated charge that the President” stole the nom ination at Chicago” was issued from the Whith house a few days ago. Its direct aim is to prove the nomination of Taft legal and not fraudulent as is charged by his accusers. explosive diatribes andfirejworks and will a#eal to tMgoodi^eikse of the voters of the country; President Tafti though »he will be kept well iK)8ted on" the pro gress of events, wiH..,make no stump speeches and no political tours.

There is no further need of the personal presence of Taft in tRe campt^gn. It will strengthen him v^th the voters to uphold the dimity of the presidertial office and this he hj^ declared will be his policy. The strongeiSt appeal to the people of this country will be based on the dan ger to which the best business interests of the country will be exposed by the election Of either Roosevelt of Wilson. Both these meiS are radicals an extreme type; J^th of them have de dared in favor of ^policies which have been repudiated by the people time and again. Both of them are apostles of unrest, en couiajaing- r y thezr words and deeds reckiess and vicious as; sauiis on the most sacred of American institutions. Neither of them is a safe, clear-headed man, who would make a safe, clear-headed president,^ Wilson though comparitively a new man in politics, has made speeches enough to show that he has tried to be all things to all men. When he believes that his audience wants the referendum, the inia- tive and the recall, he advocates all three of these^political heresies and when called to account for such utterances by wiser and more conservative Democrats he flouners about, tries to retract, modify or explain his views. In the short time he has been mak ing a political record, he has surely made a variegated one and one that proves his utter un fitness for the presidency. He is now trying to heal the breach in his party, but every day adds to^the conviction that this task is impossible of achievement.: Deinocratic leaders in the Senat^ and Hov!se, men prominent in .the party the country over, n^w realize that hi? nomination was al^litieal blunder. Instead of being the strongest man the Baltimore Convention could have ch(»en he is proving the weakest and as the first enthusiasm dies away those pilgrims to Sea Girt return home with solem faces and with hope of success blasted. Roosevelt's Bull Moose party will cut a sorry figure in this fight. The former followers of^ the ex-president are rapidly leaving him and getting back within the lines of the regular Rejpublican organization. His personally conducted, convention in Chicago, two weeks hence, will be a policical anomidy, a nondescript gathering, made up of any body who wants to go with in a hall containing as many spectators as are willing to pay the high price of admission. Such a body can have no stand ing and such a rump convention can only hold up to public ridicule the candidates it puts before the people. By the time the end of the campaign is reached the Roosevelt following will be re duced to a corpbrars guard and a.sorry-looking guard at that. With such conditions a cam paign based on sanity and sound sense cannot fail. The business and manufacturing interests of the country, the small store-keep- er and the workingman can hOpe for no protection from such men as Roosevelt and Wilson. Every mill, every factory, every indust ry of the country would be en- dsmgered, • by the success of either of , these radicals. The Republican party, which has, through its wise policies, brought this country, to the highest pros perity, it has known in its history will continue its mission, work ing out each problem as it arises, with an eye single to the interests of the people, upholding the government under which we live a party that builds and does not destroy, a party that commands the rfesjpect of every Mtion SUMMER FOOTWEAR of In es.
