professes to favor an income tax.
a graduated inheritance tax. and a
campaign publicity hill. oil of
which the Republican platform
makers rejected. The Republican
platform might he said to be after
the “stand pat" fashion. A "stand
pat" man was nominated for vie •
president. If Mr. Taft favors the

the wrong crowd.
In the middle ages a ruler could

Issues will be decided and candi

It U right that politics should lie
the topic of the hour. Our re
