The Saturday Evening Post thus pays its respect to Taft: "in 1908 there were seven million and a half republican voters in the country. Last month Mr. Taft was nominated by 561 i delegates, of whom 208 came from ten ' tock-ribbed democratic states in the] south that contain, all told, less than I 400,000 republican voters. He received 132 ballots from lowa, Indiana, Michigan and New York, where voters had been carefully denied a fair < hance to express their choice, but! w here the complexion of republican I thought must be, on the whole, about ■ like that in the neighboring states that; held primaries. In ten republican ' states voters were given a chance to express their choice, and in these states Mr. Taft was rejected by two to one—carrying only one of them, Massachusetts, and that by a small > margin. These ten states contain I three and a quarter million rejubii- I can voters; but the issue was settled 1 lor them by the southern mercenaries and the northern bosses. A very , small coterie in command of the machinery outweighed millions of mere voters,” ; . Rev. I. P. Watts, republican candij date for congress, in his speech Thurs-, day greatly relieved the local g. o. p., ticket makers. He was speaking of j bosses. He said: "Some people call them bosses, but I call them leaders I If they are bosses, then we have boss- ( es in our churches, in our Sunday , schools, in our lodges, and in every-i thing requiring organization.” Well, it would be nicer to call them lead- * wouldn't it?—Portland Sun.
