A HALT IN THE CAMPAIGN Under this title the Washington Pest begins an editorial thus: The Republican campaign does no* show signs of victorious progress There is a plain halt all along the line. For two months there has been a continual display of factional strife and consequent disintegration. This coincides completely with the report of our Chicago correspondent This report says that from the tight ing ground in all states the cry is coming up to Republican headquarters that 'General Apathy" l s tn command and will not vacate; and it is becoming a perplexing quest ion where tt get "ginger" for campaign use and bow to ust> it if it can be got Gloomy comparisons with the Parker campaign are made, in which, it will be reniembercd. the funeral calm continued until election day revealed that overwhelming majority the other way It is conceded that Mr Taft is not the sort of man to rouse enthusiasm and besides, there is the general embarrassment. felt from the beginning as to getting the right men tn the right place. A spellbinder on the Roosevelt policies for the west would net do for a noon day meeting in Wall street.

some familiar things such as the action of the Kansas Republicans in demanding bank guaranty, which “un’horses Postmaster General Meyer, defies Mr Taft and is another Democratic plank adopted by western Republicans.” It thinks thty this is little short of party mutiny and yet it would not be surprised to see the Republicans of Missouri. lowa. Nebraska and other states line up for the proposition. Even In Pittsburg. It avers, the idea is welcome. Pittsburg is for protection—strongly.
