Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 July 1908 — A Southern Opinion. [ARTICLE]

A Southern Opinion.

The Atlanta Constitution, the mg democratic paper of the South, views the nomination of Secretary Taft as the wisest the republicans could have made. It says, "Observant Southerners will regard the accession of Judge Taft to the presidency with confident complacence. He has too often given proof of the national dimensions of his citizenship to fear that he would make a partisan or a sectional executive. Every utterance (and every action of his public caieer have borne evidence to a mental and moral breadth and to wide human and economic sympathies that would make it impossible for him to be otter than the tolerant, approachable President of the whole nation.’’
