:nEW YORK WORLD-Moral-
ly, the Taft administration has
teen rejected by the Republican
party. Mr. Taft holds the Chi
cago convention by grace of the
ReDublican machine. That alone
fa . ed him from the humiliation
o1 being overthrown by the man
who made him president
NEW YORK MAIL-The sec-
or,d week since the renomination
o.t Taft and Sherman has opened
witnout the smallest sign of any
pjpular approval of that dism^
piece of political pillage. A few
obiigated politicians and expec
tant beneficiaries promptly tele
graphed to Mr. Taft their ‘ ‘con-
gravaiations.'’ If any one at all
has ventured to address Mr,
Sherman on the subject, the
words must have been in the
nature of condolence—of deep
yet sardonic sympathy with the
man for being forced to take a
barren “honor” which no one
else w'oula touch. As for the
people, they are ominously sil
ent-except in private, among
themselves.
From the great section, the
middle west, which George Gray
Barnard, the inspired sculptor,
describes as the nation’s “eagle’s
nest,’-we cull the following:
CLEVELAND LEADER-That
the progressive Republicans of
the country will not, in majority
numbers, support the candidacy
of Mr. Taft is certain. The bit
terness and shame of the stolen
convention make united support
of the president impossible.^ Th^
problem confronting them lies in
the alternative. What that alter
native shall be no man can tell at
the moment. The decision will
reached not in passion or
stress, but in deliberate j«dge-
f.tint Theodore Iloosevelt acted
in patriotic wisdom when he re-
iused to commit his followers to
any immediate action and insist
ed that the final decision be de-
ierred for weeks. It is no time
to make mistakes. Great moral
iirinciples are at stake. ,The
Cfiuse of righteous citizenship is
tc be served. The country’s
th in Theodore Roosevelt has
>‘r ver been misplaced.
CLEVELAND PRESS-The
nEi'i?i,s of the people of this coun-
i ■. are no longer slaves to party
'■ajnes and emblems they once
Y»“re, They have at last seen
ar.d grasped the great truth that
I oJitical parties are merely a
■ eans to an end, that end being
" '-iai and economic justice.
DETROIT NEWS-There were
I :: men at the Republican nat-
J ■ a] convention in Chicago writ-
' !k' for the Detroit News. All of
men are writers of wide
^‘ .perience in political affairs,
vme of them having attended
e ery national convention for
t vventy years. Each was iat Hber-
ty *0 write reports of events just
he saw them. Two "ha>e a
for Theodore Roosevelt
■ hc.t amounts almost to a hatred,
o:t every one of the ten agreed
one proposition. . It was that
si Siam Howard Taft did not
nave enough duly elected dele
gates to control the convention
! and nominate himself. ; The: r^
ports «ent to this paper and to
eybry. Other pa^f of the country
I that had enough representatives
at the convention to get the do
ings of the convention ficom every
angle indicate^ beyond doubt that
the national committee of the Re
readers publican party; being deeply,par-
happened tisan in favor of Mr. Taft, realize
ed that he did not have enough
delegates to control the coiJiven-
tiori, and deliberately set about
it to uns.eat duly elected delegiat-
es opiposed to-Mr. Taft and seat
his friends. The extent to which
this was practiced differs some
what m the reports. The least
number given by any reliable
writer places the figure atseven-
ty-two, while others, including
Mr. Roosevelt’s strongest advo
cates, place it at 90. In either
case, enough were taken to in
sure a Taft majority and leave a
few to spare should there be a
slip on the part of a few delegat-
0s.
SIOUX CITY (lA.) TRIB
UNE—Governor Hadley, in an
interview given out at Cedar
Rapids, la., yesterday and print
ed in this paper, confirms the
statement that Taft leaders offer
ed to send the rightful Texas and
Washington delegates if Roose
velt would withdraw irom the
field as|a candidate. Roosevelt
refused. The offer to seat the
Texas and Washington delega
tions was also a threat to unseat
them unless Roosevelt would con
sent to withdraw. What, will the
people think of this juggling with
their franchise? The Washing
ton delegates, according to the
dictates of the bosses, were to be
allowed to sit in the convention
provided there was assurance
that Roosevelt would not be
nominated. Unless the bosses
could have their way, the Wash
ington delegation would be
thrown out. This is proof that
the control of the convention was
dishonest, and only escaped fee
ing a felony because because fed
eral laws do not cover convention
procedure. The same kind of a
deal in a legislature would have
opened the doors of the peniten
tiary for the men making it. It
was as corrupt as anything that
was.done in the election of Lori-
mer. AbeJReuf never planned
anything more atrocious against
the public. Roosevelt could not
connect himself with such corrup
tion. He declared again and a-
gain that there could be no com
promise with theft; that he him
self would not accept a nomina
tion from a convention controlled
by. unlawfully seated delegates,
nor would he release any delega
tes elected in his name and per
mit them to vote for any other
man, and so give the party a
tainted candidate.
LA CROSSE (WIS.) TRIE-
UNE—Of the two men who en-
^ged in this fight, Roosevelt en
joyed the greater popularity. He
might have been elected presi
dent. That Taft cannot be is
conceded by many who helped
force his nomination. Yet these
men said to the progressive Re
publicans, “You must swallow
Taft and wreck the party/’ If

who have been in the fight for

St Alcans, Yt., Aug^ 30.—Gr
eeted every where with lar^e and
enthusiastic audience, Colonel
Roosevelt continued his Vermont
campaign t^ay.
Many women were among his
auditors here, and there were
half a dozen on the speaker's
stand.
During his speech here Roos
evelt was interrupted by a men-
ber of the crowd, w;ho asked:
“Is the new party progressive
Republican?”
“No sir,” shouted Roosevelt.
“It is a brand new party, the
Progressive party.
“When Lincoln left hthe Wigs
ther^ were some bigots who wo
uldn’t vot^ forhim just as there
are now some bigots who will
not st^wd with us. Do you get
me?”
The colonel drew a parallel be
tween the situation in New York
and Vermont Said he:
“You have got to deal with
the same situation here that we
have in New York, where crook
ed busifness not only controls
politics, but newspapers as
well.”

14-year-old Chester Beetts, of

soon expired.
The tragedy occuired at a cou

As the big gashbag crept hig

WARM WELCOME HOME
Pittsburg, August 27. — Believ

friends by eloping to Cumber
land, the Gretna Green of Mary
land, Earl B. Helm and Merril
Heviderling, and Forest Erwin
and Barbara Kerr, all of Corao-
jpolis, a suburb of this city, were
> married there last Saturday.
When they returned home'la t
night they were met at the depot
by a large crowd. They were
ducked in the Ohio river, forced
to exchange clothes, dance the
turkey trot and grizzly bear in
the wake of a brass band and
then ride a scrawny mine muk.
After all this they were escortea
home and wished “godspeed.”
Miss Henderling and Miss Ke r
were members of a bachelor girl’s
club.
Snow fell in France the other
night, showing that 'the GalHc
republic is after Michigans re

California indorses the third
party, founded by the honest
majority of the recent Repiiblican
convention and submitted to the
people of the United States by
its progressives. California in
dorses Governor Johnson’s brave
stand, not only in fighting the
thieves to a finish, not only in
refusing to be bdun4 bv the act
ion of a stolen con vention, but in
leaving that fraudulent conven
tion and taking the leading part
in forming a new party and car
rying out the will of our 77,000
majority by nominating, the man
wanted. Governor Johnson, who
is not terrified at the thought, of
obeying the vvill of the citizens,
has tak^n the only course left
open to him, thanks to the shame
lessness and. obtusehess of the
Republican bosses at Chicago.
The new party has nothing to be
ashamed' of. .The humiliation
should rest on the unbowed heads
of the reactionaries, who ran a
steam roller over the expresged
will of millions of Republicans.
These Republicans, disfranchis
ed at their own party cpn ven tion,
join Governor Jbhhsoh' and his
associates in repudiating the
work of bosses who did not rep.
