JUDGE THIS MAN BY Hl RECORD.
Hi
Measured solely and absolutely
byfrwlTat$hoihnidQnollnahrooii)ort;
yonrs'Troildont Tnft Is unquesnbn
ably entitled to nn arorwholmtng
voto of confldenco from tho Amorl
can pooplo. It Is always difficult
to realize tho true proportions of
men mid events nt close range.
Only nt nn Interval of tlmo nnd
spneo nro wo nblo to exercise tho
culm new nnd Justlco of unbiased
second thought.
Arlstldos wns banished been u ho
tho pooplo woro TIItKI) of honrlng
him called "Tho Just." Wellington
wns mobbed on nn nnnlvurwry of
tho battle of Wntorloo. Wnshlngtou
would linvo boon "reonllud," Mud!
sou would hnvo boon disgraced,
oven thu beloved Lincoln, "Tho
(I rent Kmnnclpatnr," would hnvo
suffered honrtles Ignominy hnd not
sober second thought displaced tho
first hnsty and unjust criticism of
tho peoplo for whom thc-so strong
men Inborod so truly nnd so wull.
This Is truo of President Tnft.
Ho has boon mnllgued and nssnll
ed, bitterly nnd often, by thousands
who condemned him hnstlly nnd un
knowingly. They uro NOW learn
ing tho truth, nro beginning to np
preclnto his KKAI. COUIlAdl. nnd
AHSOI.UTK INTKC1UITY, nnd nro
fust becoming his stnunch support
ers and ndmlrors.
In bohnlt of Mr. Tnft It Is simply
nsked of tho American pooplo, In
sobor second thought, nnd In tho
clonr, whlto light' of hnt ho has
already nccompllBhod
"Judgo this man by his Itecordl"
It has been truly said of Presi
dent Tnft nnd of him alono that
ho "vitalized political platforms."
With Mr. Taft a platform promise
means moro than ompty words.
Bvon a brief record of somo of his
political nets shows how faithfully
ho puts this prlnclplo Into practice
Tho republican platform of 1908
promised tariff revision. It did
NOT specifically promlso DOWN
WAIH) revision. Hut Mil. TAFT so
understood It nnd acted accordingly.
Ho wns not nblo to got un IUKA1.
law fow laws roach tho Idenl but
ho DID succood In getting n tariff
thnt gave tho pooplo whnt thoy
wanted lower duties on tho neces
sities of llfo n tariff that was FA It
IlfcTTKIt than tho law then In force.
.Mr, Tnft could easily hnvo se
cured choap popularity, nnd tho un
thinking applauso of tho crowd, If
ho had VBTOBI) tho bill as laid bo
foro him. Hut bo did not feel that
ho was Justlflod In holding up tho
ontlro buslnoss of tho country mere
ly on tho very doubtful chanco of
getting a nUTTER bill a yoar Intor.
Hour In mind that, despite tho In
sistent cnll of tho pooplo, Mr. Taft s
Immodlato prodocoBsor hod for
OVElt 8BVBN YEARS UTTBHI.Y
lUNOHBU this most vital of all tho.
umatlQUf Uoiiku .I(ecUuK,ti!&srfa
pcrlty of tho nation.
It was a crisis!
It wns no tlmo for continuing a
policy of PI.AYINO FOR POPU
LARITY! And Mr. Tnft wns big enough,
broad onough, wlsu enough to risk
personal misunderstanding In ordor
to bring relief from pnnlc nnd do
prosslon.
With a courage far greater thnn
many hnvo given him credit for ho
followed his sincere conviction of
what was RIO I IT AND 1IK8T AT
THAT TIMB nnd signed tho bill.
You know tho storm of pitiless
criticism oven shameful PERSON
AL AIIUSK that was hurled at
him. You know nlso how firmly,
pntlsntly, yet UNFLINCHINGLY, ho
met It.
And you know further nnd In
the spirit of American fnlr piny you
nro FORCED TO ADMIT- thnt Mr.
Tnft WAS ItKHIT, nnd his critics
went WRONd! For tho tariff lias
vlndlunted Itself uuiiuestlonnbly
nnd triumphantly!
If there haVl been nothing In tjio
bill but Mr. Tuft's plnu for tho
modern nnd scientific tnrlff board,
THAT ALONE would stamp It ns
marking nn epoch In tho tnrlff his
tory of tho United Stntes.
Thu tariff board tnkos tho tnrlff
out of politics nnd makes It whnt
It should ho n strictly Hclontlflc,
proMrtty developing measure. It
Is no longer n moro plaything of
politics. Careful, exact Investiga
tion takes t)ia placo of guess work
and "hlt-or-mlss" experiment.
Wu Ting Fung, that great Chin
ese statesman, has publicly stated
that Prosldont Taft, more thau any
othor one man, Is responsible for
tho now republic of China. Tho na
tions of Europe nnd Asia were Just
ubout to divide China up among
themselves when Mr. Taft called a
halt. Tho now republlo auother
world udvnnco In domocrnoy result
od.
It was President Tuft who sottlod
ii dangerous mtsundorstnndlng that
hnd been created betweon this
country and Jupan. And ho It wns
who secured tho now Japauoso
treaty, ensuring peace on the Paci
fic, nnd friendship Instead of possi
ble bloodshed.
When nussla arrogantly assumod
a position that might havo Involved
her In war with any othor nation
but tho United Statos, Mr. Taft
solvod tho problem In his quiet, of
fectlvo way.
Tho postofflco departmont Is now
on a selfsustalnlng basis for tho
FIRST TIMB tH ITS HISTORY. Mr.
Tnft did It!
Tho postal savings bunk has al
ready doposlts of sovoral millions
otjdWrs. Vory much of this
hnj V'uot boon"fortho groat" postal
bask. Mr. Tnft secured- tho postal
savings bank.
Mr. Taft In Immensn contrast to
th oxtravngnnco of tho yonrs lm
medlntoly preceding his administra
tion reduced tho oxpondlturos of
the government by thtrty-ftvo mil
lion dollars nnnuully.
Although President Tnft has held
offlro less thau four years his rec
ord of prosecutions of Illegal trusts
Is greater than that of any othor
president. In n little ovor threo
years there hnvo been forty-five
prosecutions ns ngnlnst twonty-flvo
In tho soen nnd 'one-half years
preceding Mr. Tafl's administration.
Tlmru Is overy reason lo expect that
I'NDBR MR. TAFT tho trust prob
lem can and will bo SOLVED with
in tho noxt four years.
Moro are Just a fow other prom
lnnt measures for which Mr. Taft
Is responsible;
Universal arbitration treaties to
banish war from oarth were, un
fortunately, not ratlflod owing to
the hostlllty'of a political minority.
A corporation tux, yloldlng au In
come of thirty million dollars nn
nually, nnd government supervision
of corporations havo bcon provldod.
Tlia Pnnnma Canal tins been pushed
toward early completion with no hint
of scandal. Irrigation projects In
tlm Ureat West hnva been aided and
extondod. Unnuthorltodrallroad rate

stntes. Tho "whlto slave" traffic
has been practically destroyed. A
bureau of mines, to avort ucoldonts
and sufeguurd mlnore, bus boon es
tablished. President Tnft Is a real progres
sive. Ho rovoros tho pust, rccog
nlzes tho necessities of tho present,
and adapts tho experiences of both
to tho noods of tho future.
Ho has a DEFINITE program. IIo
knows WHAT ho proposes to do,
and HOW ho proposes to do It.
Somo socalled progressives are
full of sound and motion hut they
fall to arrive. Thoy aro llko tho
grinning boy on tho hobby horso,
wild with enthusiasm and notion,
Imagining himself going a mllo a
minute when ho Is only wearing
out tho carpet by excessive frietton
In one spot.
MR. TAFT Is not that kind of a
progressive.
To voto for Mr. Tnft Is to voto
for HIS POLICIES and HIS METH
OD of continuing thorn. To vote
against him Is to opon wldo tho
doors to UNTRIED EXPERIMENT
and DI8PIIOVED THEORY.
istration Dates Are October 29th and 30th.
