Battle From the Ambuh.
The campaign of personal assault
and misrepresentation being waged
by aom against Preatdent Taft will
wear ftaelf out and rebound with
fatal force pon Its promoters It coa
tlnaed long enough. Congressman
Hayes of California gave his Insurg
ent brethren some wise advise they
would do well to beed when, on the
floor of the house, he warned them
against this kind of opposition, de
nounced the falsehoods and calumny
being heaped upon the president, in
whose probity and fidelity the coun
try has confidence and declared that
unless the antl-Taft forces could dis
cover broader grounds upon which
to wag their fight they had better
give up at the outset.
Coming from a man not in srm
pathy with the president's adminis
tration as a whole, this is very sig
nificant. Already the president has
been compelled to issue a direct
statement denying some of these
bsseless canard. Thst fact, In itself.
Is a severs blow to those responsible
for this kind of opposition. The
people of this country are not in the
habit of rewarding palpable false
hood about the official head of their
government with the trophies of vic
tory. Those newspapers that have
been at pains to misquote the presi
dent's Lincoln day speech, making
him say that the people are not fit
for self-government, have injured
their own cause. They carefully muti
lated the context of the speech, dis
closing the transparency of their
studied plan to deceive their readers
and defame the president
The cause must be desperate one
that calls for such extreme tactics.
One of two things is true when tnen
tight with poison arrows from the
smbush either they find their
enemy too formidable or their own
cause too weak for a clean fight In
the open. The people of this country
know thst President Taft denies
neither their right nor fitness for
self-government, and silly falsehoods

Mr. Bryan aad Hit Cooke,
Mr. Bryan is quoted in a dispatch
from Denver ss saying that be really
thinks some other democrat than
himself could poll more votes as ths
party's presidential candidate for
thus more decisively eliminat
ing himself from the race than at
any time since ISM. While most
people will agree with Mr. Bryan
that b. could not poll enough votes
to be elected In 1112, it Is yet a ques
tion whether another democrat could
poll mors votes than he. That, of
course, implies tost tne proDSDiuues

this year.
Another notable statement la at
tributed to Mr. Brysn by a Denver
press dlspstrh, nsmely, that he pre
fer. Governor Sbafroth of Colorado
to any other democrat thus far men
tioned for the nomination this yesr,
yet he desires to be understood as
thus casting no reflections upon any
other candidate. Mr!. Bryan has a
way of seeming to prefer th. man
with the least possible chance "of get
ting there. He was strong tor Folk
and Folk was so hopelessly out of sll
consideration as to wipe himself off
the map a couple of weeks ago.
The Bryan-Wilson alliance still
