Washington, Dec 1 3. Only once since its organization nearly sixty yeara ago has the Republican party elected a man to the presidency and denied: him a re-nomination at the close of Ms first term. The one man whom the Republican party refused to re-nominate was Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, and the denial of a re-nomination to him was not due to any act of his administration, but the circumstances whereby he reach ed the white house In the first place hs the result of the contested elec tion of 1876. This made it political' ly inexpedient to name him again. If President Taft is not re-noml- nated he will be the second man in the history of the party once elect ed who has failed to land the nomf nation for a second time. Of course friends of Mr. Taft will not admit that there is any likelihood that the President will not again be the standard bearer of his party, but notwithstanding these claims, in view of the acknowledged opposl tion to him, there are three or four Republicans, upon any one of whom the mantle might fall. First of all to be considered In this connection is Senator Robert H. La Follette, of Wisconsin, who 1b the ony open and avowed candidate in opposition to Mr. Taft. Those who Itnow the lighting senator from the Badger state Know that for many years he has had his eye trained upon the white house, Iu 1908 he was a candidate for the nomination. but his candidacy did not get far.sbe. yondi the botinds of his own state. and although his name was present ed at the national convention in Chi cago along with several others who sought to prevent Mr. Taft from car rying off the prize, he was able to muster only 25 of the 20 votes from tils own state. Reluctantly, after all of the progressive propositions which be had advanced to be incorporated In 'the platform were pruned down he announced his support of the ticket. Almost immediately, how ever, after Mr. Taft had become in stalled in the white house, Senator La Follette began to oppose Ufa ad ministration. He made a stubborn fight against the administration's railroad bill, and a bitter attack up on the Payne-Aldrich tariff : bill which the President signed. He ab sented himself from the white house (Continued on Page Three.) , WORST SPILL OF THE SIX DAY BICYCLE RACE New York, Dec. 1 3 The worst spill of the six day bicycle race oc curred this morning.

New York, Dec. 13. Mr. P. D. Gold vice-president and general manager of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, of Raleigh, N. V., and presidont of the American Life Convention, today delivered an address at the fifth annual conven tion of the. association of the associ ation president, in session in this city. Mr. "Sold in his remarks advo cated uniform state laws regulating the life Insurance business in the country and pointed out that the policyholders and the companies af fected are the ones to exert Influence on the law-making bodies. Mr. Gold said, in part: The chairman of your meeting at Chicago, the late lamented Hon. Paul Morton, said in his opening re marks that the work of your asso ciation is educational, "and has for its sole purpose the promotion of that which is good, and the preven tion of that which is bad In life insurance." These are motives worthy and well qualified, and the American .Life Convention heartily joins ;th you in the aspiration of the e iiigh ideals. The following is a part of a resolution passed at the initial meeting of the convention in. 1 !) 0 q . Resolved "That we favor the utmost publicity In the life In surance business. We invite the closest supervision of honest public officials. We fa'-'or such uniformity of laws in the several states as shall safe-guard the interests of policy holders, avoid abuses and acquaint the public and" policyholders with all the details of the business. We believe in taking the policyholders into the confidence of the manage ment and believe that corrupt oftl eiais -.should be promptly punished. The searchlight of careful, compe tent and honest investigation has ha terrors to honest life companies." These are a part of the fundamental principles of the organization and to this end the convention has used Its best endeavor. What ever may be their Individual opinions on any subject. It is usual ly, true that the broad community idea, with the greatest good for the greatest number, will usually Cottle riglit in the end; : That law which Is bad for the old company Is worBe for the young company, for as a matter of fact, an old company cant withstand the evils of unjust laws and improper " supervision with greater ease than the company only ii -"'few years of age.
