HIS RECORD IS DISAPPROVED TAFT IS NOT HELPING HIMSELF His 13,000 Mile Swing Through The West and Numerous Speeches do Not Strengthen His Cause Not a Dent In The Surface Trust Burst ing a Sham. (By C. H. Tavenner) Washington, . Oct. 9. The President Jhas been in the West. The people have listened to his defense. And they still believe he did wrong in vetoing the hon est efforts of both branches of of Congress to reduce the awful cost of living in the United States. - Such is the tenor of the news that has come over the wires from the special correspondents who either accompanied or trail ed Mr. Taft on his 13.000 mile swing. ' Arthur Henning, Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, interviewed hundreds of westerners and found that the people generally liked Mr. Taft personally but absolutely disapproved his record as Presi dent., Angus McSween, the cele-1 brated Washington correspon-i dent of the Philadelphia North ! American, (also republican),1 wired from Topeka. Kans., as ' follows: ! "President Taft did not make' a dent in the surface of strong progressive sentiment in the state of Kansas during his visit here." j It developed, too, that a great many men. in all walks of life, candidly admitted that next: year thy proposed to vote for a Democrat for President, not withstanding they always be-1 fore had voted for a Republican. ! A great many of these referred to the magnificent record the Democrats made in Congress last session, and frankly ad mitted that since the Democrats . had shownr eal ability to govern and govern well, it was no more than their dne that they should be given greater responsibility. ' ALL LEGITIMATE BUSINESS SAFE Chairman A. 0. Stanley, of the . steel trust investigating committee, says the Republicans are endeavoring to create the , impression that the democratic investigation of the steel trust is in the nature of an attack oil the steel business. He denied that this is true. "Republican newspapers,' said Mr. Stanley, "are trying to make the country believe we persecuting the steel corporation Nothing could be further from the truth. The investigation has been conducted with the uU most fairness, and not a single one of the steel men who testi-' fied failed to thank the com-J mittee for the fair and generous wav in which he had been treat ed." ' 17 Marksmen When the Cleveland Guards were in camp atMoorehead this summer, seventeen of the men ' won distinction as marksmen in the target practice.

The "red. white and blue" trembling in the sunlight from almost every building in King.s Mountain Saturday, the happy faces of thousands of citizens from the piedmont section, the glowing tributes expressed in glowing words, bands bursting with martial music, voices of arms in sham battle, all, were evidence of the appreciation of the valor displayed and the vic tory won by American patriots on October 7, 1780. .
