He has only a shred of a voice left, but he declared that he was not unduly fatigued, physically or mentally.

He spoke as follows: ; i "It seems to me at this time, when the question is put to an American whtcii candidate he will' support by hta vnta for tha nrooMonAV ho ahnnlri be manly enough to answer, It direct-! ly. I therefore say I intend to cast my vote for William H. Taft.

I "The election of Mr. Taft, will, I believe, make the law and order and! stabllitytbf business. . He is not a man, I Judge, to adventure With rash experiments or to impede a return to prosperity by advocating measures subversive of Industrial progress.

That, however, does not excuse me from publishing my opinion and doing what I consider , my duty as a citizen."
