GEO. BESSE, Chm. C. W. HARNER. Sec.

GILLAM TP. convention.

The Democrats of Gillam township and all who wish to affiliate with them in the November election, will meet in mass convention at Center School House on Saturday, July 11, 1908, at twS o'clock p, m., for the purpose of nominating a township tick-

et to be voted on in the November election. C. F. TILLETT, Chm. J. W. CUtP, Sec. The Taft papers want Mr. Bryan to' be “patriotic” and refuse to be a candidate. They are a disinterested lot—are these Taft papers.

The Chicagp convention did its level best to make the Republican ticket as weak as possible. Taft must carry the load of the Roosevelt administration, and Sherman must tote the sins of congress. W.hat a queer team it is, when you come to think about It.

When the people of other countries read that the president of the United States has “dictated” the nomination of the “secretary of war” as his successor, they will think that we have come to follow, the example of Santo Domingo and some of the feeble little revolutionary republics of Central America.

After Fairbanks had been kicked out of the convention, Hanly Insulted, and Harry New set aside as chairman of the Republican national committee, It was only proper retaliation that that eminent joker, George Ade, should have been chosen as the Jndiana member of the committee to notify Mr. Taft of his nomination.

The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks Charles P. Taft of that city, a brother of the republican candidate for the presidency and who furnished some of the “sinews” to help along the latter’s campaign for thg. nomination, should be chosen national chairman of his party. Well, why not? He is a thirty times millionaire and would fit in well with the party machinery.

The Republican national platform is a long document—-long, ridiculous and politically shameless—but it omits many things. For instance, it makes no reference to the constitution, which it considers an entirely superfluous instrument. Nor does it say a single word in favor of economy in public expenditures, or make any* promise to discontinue the frightful extravagance that has characterized the national administration.

Sherman for vice president! And who is Sherman? He Ilves In Utica, N. Y. He has been a member of congress for some years. He is president of a trust company and a director in six banks. He is a campaign fat-fryer. He is the head of an ice trust and the friend of all the other trusts. He is a standpatter on the tariff and has opposed every proposed reform while he has been In congress. His nomination is proof that the Republican managers think they can fool the people all the time.

We reaffirm our former declarations that the civil service laws, enacted, extended and enforced by the Republican party, shall continue to be maintained and obeyed.Republican National Platfqrm. “Extended and enforced by the Republican party.” This Is a silly untruth. There is not an intelligent man in the country who does not knpw that the civil service is in a state of the utmost demoralization. Federal officeholders have been used by the administration as a part of its political machine and will continue to be so used until after the election.

The Federation of Labor, composed of a million members, is the first big organization to bolt the Roosevelt nomination of “My man Taft” at Chicago last week. Samuel Gompers, at the head of this big body of toilers, and at the head of the committee appointed to present its requests to the ratification meeting of the candidacy of Taft, has turned away in disgust and anger at the manner in which he was received and finally turned down, as he might have known he would be, by this finest representative predatory wealth assemblage that was ever gathered together on the face of the earth.. But what

is hurting the local G. O. P. just now is the open bolt of some of its hitherto stanchest members. There are troublous days ahead.

Grover Cleveland is dead. Twice President of the United States, at a period when great reforms were being violently agitated and his own party divided as to what m<n and measures would consumate these reforms, he marked out his course, which could not he changed by adulation of friends or the most violent personal abuse of foes. Right or wrong—and the tenacity shown in the face of the most humiliating strictures passed upon the motives which actuated him ought to be proof that he was right—he did the work before him, how well the future historian will record in the book of Time. And now, la the presence of death, old animosities are forgotten, bickerings, and the foul abuse for which he was made a special target, even after he had become a private oitizen, are stilled, and the entire .nation mourns with the bereft family. Peace be to his ashes.

Republican chickens are coming z home to roost, and the present brood being largely of African origin, are demanding a good position inside the republican chicken house, and in no uncertain language either. Of course this demand will not be granted, but a great (Teal of diplomacy must be used in the wording of a flat refusal of this coveted privilege. At all other times, except when they can be used to advantage, this mongrel breed is allowed to roost on the fence, in the trees, on the housetops, or any old place where night overtakes them, but when the time arrives when they can be used a few kernels of corn and a few loud calls has been sure to bring them into the republican barnyard, where they are well fed, and were allowed to roost in the same house with white folks for a few days, only to be “shooed” Into the wilderness as soon as their services could be dispensed with. This year the corn offered them has not been satisfactory, and the customary "shoo” failed the purpose it has always served heretofore. They are in a very ugly mood and are threatening to make trouble, and it will be conceded that they are in a position to do this, and do it brown, if they are not placated, and that it now seem out of the question to do.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN VIEW.

The Indianapolis News, which always supports the republican ticket, says a number of pertinent things in editorial comment on the nomination of Mr. Taft which are worthy the consideration of republicans as showing the manner in which his nomination was secured and the class of fellows who run the convenvention? Being the comment of a paper that always works for the republican ticket when the campaign opens its comment now is of interest. It says: “To our minds it is a most serious and dangerous precedent that President Roosevelt has done his best to establish —that the President may use all the vast machinery of the civil service to determine who shall be the party’s choice for President. With the power in the hands of the administration to determine nearly a third of the delegates to a national convention, and with the disposition of the President to, use that power, any one must admit that a Federal machine can be created which is practically irresistible. We are, then, in grave peril of finding the public administration in the virtual control of an office-holding oligarchy. “In spite of the methods that have been used to compass Mr. Tait’s nomination, and in spite of the elements in his own party that are antagonistic to him, it will not do to conclude that he will necessarily be a weak candidate. He will be supported with the intensest zeal by the President of the United States and the great army of officeholders. The country has never seen a more formidable organization than the “road roller” machine built up by the Taft managers. It will work as vigorously for his election as it did for; his nomination. As far as It Is possible the administration will from now on be conducted

in such a way as to promote the interests of the President’s candidate. We have seen that many of the railroads and trusts were deeply Interested in the nomination of Mr. Taft, and we may be sure that all will be done that' can be done to stimulate their interest—and their activity. “The convention deliberately voted down a plank calling for publicity of campaign contributions. The vote was taken on this plank by itself, and without relation to anything else, and the TQII was called. And yet 880 delegates stood up before the country and said that they did not think that the people had any right to know where the party campaign fund comes from. The plank received only ninety-four votes. This action makes it perfectly clear that the convention intended that the candidate should have the full benefit of the friendship of the trusts and the railroads. Morgan and the steel trust helped to make the platform, and they may be expected to do their full duty In bringing about the election of the candidate. There will be no difficulty in financing the Taft campaign. We did not suppose that in these days of a supposed moral awakening, in a convention dominated by such a reformer as Roosevelt, there could be any question as to the adoption of such a plank as that which was overwhelmingly defeated yesterday. But it was voted down. “As to Mr. Taft personally, it is to be said that he is a man of high character, and of much more than the average ability. But no on» can know what promises have been made which would hamper him if | elected; but every one knows that he was supported by men who never do anything in politics except for a consideration. The, question is as to how far Mr. Taft may have bartered away his liberty, as to how far he stands committed to the corporations and trusts. And that is a very important question. It will receive much attention during the campaign,' and it is possible that we may get a good deal of light on it. We think that Mr. Taft has both the ability and the disposition to serve the country well. The sole question is as to the limitations to which he has voluntarily submitted himself. The refusal of the convention to adopt the publicity plank will tend to create the impression that those limitations may be numerous and formidable.”
