JUDOB MEREDITH TELLS WHY. i
Tha Intelligencer today preeenta a
abort, but convincing. Interview from
Judge W. S. Meredith, of FhlrmonL
In which he urge* strong reasons for
the ranomlnstion and re-election of
William H. Taft for the presidency.I
It is noteworthy that the leaders of I
aublle thought In West Virginia, al-l
most to a man, stand for the renomi-1
i rnmeni itn. THIS IS
more particularly the case since Colo
nel Roosevelt enunciated his remark
able “new charter of Democracy” In
his Columbus address. Judge Mere
dith has been a life-long Republican.
As a lawyer he ranks among the flrst
In West Virginia. Briefly, he favors
the renomination of William H. Taft.
Because he stands for Republican
doctrine.
Because as a Republican President,
elected by Hepubllcap voles, he has
made good, and by the customs and
precedents of the party Is entitled to
a second nomination.
Baeause Mr. Taft Is a patriotic
Amaricsn. a safe leader and an expe
rienced administrator.
As between Mr. Taft and Mr.
Rooedvelt, he opposes Mr. Roose
velt’a nomination.
Because Mr. Roosevelt has ad
vanced doctrines which are not Re
publican. which are radical, extrava
gant and dangerous.
Because he has already served two
terms as President, and the unwrit
ten law of the 1'ntted States, a law
cherished in the hearts of millions of
voters, ‘sets a limit to the number of
years that any man may serve In the
presidential chair.
This la a brief and compact state
ment of the reasons that actuate
thinking men nil over the United
States, first, hi their support of Mr.
Taft, and. second, in their opposition
to the rsnominatlon of Colonel Roose
velt for a third term. William H.
Taft typiflea the essential doctrines of
tbe Republican party He has made
a splendid record aa a national ad
ministrator. We cannot endorse that
record and at the same time repud!
ate William H. Taft; nor can we be
true to the doctrines of the Republl
can party and surrender to or accept
the new and remarkable utterances
embodied In Mr. Roosevelts “New
Charter of Democracy."
PITTSBURGH ENDORSEMENT OF

Wednesday night the Republicans
of Pittsburgh met in a monster mass
meeting-to organise a movement to

Tha meeting was brought about by a
realisation of th* extraordinary situa

confronted. Working mow and business
men alike have com* to understood that
tba party which triumphed ao elan ally
four years ago In the election of Taft
and Rharman la saw beset as it haa not

relantlaaa minority Is attamptlng to

experiments In Isgtslatlon which nr# at
complete variance with th* policies and
accepted rules of conduct that hitherto
hare contributed no greatly to party
sucre tie and national progress. Encour

Republicans and by the result of th*
election of l»t» .tha Democratic party,
as th* situation Is to-day. to more hope
ful of victory In November than It haa
been at nny period since li»l. Every
man at that meeting last night, who has
Intelligently followed the coursa of
events, must know that th* first assault
by n Democratic President and congress
on th* protective system will be aimed
at the Industries that hay* given Pitts
burgh its pre-eminent peril Ion and hava
won for the stats of Pennsylvania tta
unchallenged rank among tho manufac

That la why th* Republicans of Pitts
burgh. Irrnepoctlv# of their Individual
relation to the life of the community,
are coming forward In such larga num
bers and Joining forces for tn* renoml
natlon and re-election of Mr. Taft.
Tha Pittsburgh meeting la a sample
of the movement that Is going on all
over the country. The Union League

which only twice before in lta history
haa taken a decided position for r

renomlnstion of President Taft has
of Individuals. It has become nation
long since ceased to be a personal
movement or a movement on* the part
wide, and it involves men everywhere
who believe In the essential principles
of the Republican party and who re
ject the new and dangerous doctrines
which are sought to be forced upon
that party.
JUDGE NESBITT.
A movement has been begun by a
number of prominent local attorneys
to develop sentiment favorable to the
nomination of Judge Prank W. Nes
bitt to tbe Supreme bench. Judgp
Nesbitt recently announced his inten
tion to retire from the Circuit Court
in this judicial district at the expira
tion of his present term. It is under
stood that Judge Nesbitt will not con
sent to be an active candidate for the
Supreme judgeship nomination, but
his friends believe that should such a
nomination come to him unsought he
would feel that be could not decline
it. In his service oh the bench in
this circuit. Judge Nesbitt has atr
talned a very high reputation as a
lawyer and a jurist. His pleasing
manner and unfailing courtesy have
added to bis personal popularity. The
Supreme bench would be adorned by
Judge Nesbitt's presence. It is prob
able that the movement referred to
will take definite form In the next few
: days, and the many friends of Judge
’ Nesbitt In Ohio county and adjoining
counties will join tn the hope that 11

that occurred shortly after be and whet remained of hla

_“*0T ,om* tlrn« ■*»«■ leaving Greensboro the little party rode on In per

packed a few articles Just before leaving Richmond, and took from It two
volumes of Tennyson’s poems. One of them was 'Enoch Arden1 and the other
‘Maud.
"Mrs. Davis at once became pouch Interested. 8he had already been
made familiar with the lltorary attainments which distinguished Mr Benja
min possibly above all members of Mr. Davis' political family.
"Mrs. Davis urged Mr. Benjamin to read. His voice had s beautiful
me odlc quality, and It was a voice which, when he wss a member or ihe
l nlted States Senate, always charmed his fellow Senators as did hts
speeches because of their ftterary quality. Mr. Benjamin began to read, and
Mrs. Davla and her daughter were Instantly absorbed a few momenta later
Mr. Davis himself, catching the cadence and rhythm of the poem, also be
came Interested, and at last became so absorbed in It that he seemed to have
forgotten the sorrows which were weighing heavily upon him. And so Mr.
Benjamin read on and on until darkness at last hid the page. And It was
• JaBd the requisite beauty of his poem, and the voice and elocution
or Judah p. Benjamin which made possible some alleviation of the distress
which Mr. Davis and his family went through.
"Mr. Benjamin afterward became separated from the party, but he left
with Mrs. Davis one of the volumes of Tennyson's poems."
