Thursday , June 25 , 1908.
On the 4th of this month the
RHPUBI.ICAN , among other news
papers , published an item to the
effect that the Republican con
gressional committee , Metropoli
tan bank building- , Washington ,
D , C , , would pay $150 for the best
article not exceeding 1000 words
on the question : "Why the Re
publican Party should be success
ful next November. " The com
mittee has been overwhelmed
with replies , over 500 having1 al
ready been received , although
the offer was made only three
weeks ago and docs not close un
til July 15. It is stated that a
large number of the replies come
from the south and that every
mail brings a big batch of them.
At the National Corn Expo
sition to be held in Omaha , De
cember 9 to 19 , an "Alfalfa Pal
ace" is being planned by the di
rectors of the corn show because
of the increasing interest in the
crop and its growing1 importance
as a food for cattle. The palace
is to be built of bales of alfalfa
and lined with exhibits oj alfalfa
and other grasses. Valuable
premiums are to be offered for
the best types of the alfalfa
plant , and in an } " growers will se
cure hay presses and modern
machines for baling the alfalfa.
There are some editors in the
state to whom 'consistency doe's
appear as a bright and shining
light. One in particular , in
speaking of a candidate for office ,
said there possibly should be a
limit to a man's political am
bition. The man referred to
held the office four years but in
another articlexon the same page
the same editor advocates the
election of a man who has been a
continuous office holder for twelve
years.
Colonel Watterson , the .vener
able editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal , says the com
mon sense of the people will elect
Bryan to the presidency. A few
months ago the colonel was so
busy discovering a "dark horse"
to defeat Bryan that he wasn't
paying much attention to the
common sense features.
With the promised good crops ,
1908 can't be a bad year for busi
ness unless there should be a
scare of the election of a jlemo
cratic presidentand as it is almost
sure Bryan will be the demo
cratic nominee there'll be no
scare.
"Little Joe" Brown was kicked
off the railroad commission of
Georgia by Governor Smith
then "Little Joe" turned around
and defeated Smith for governor.
It doesn't pay to get to gay with
some people sometimes.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland
died at 8:20 a. in. yesterday at
his home in Princeton , N. J.
Vice-President Sherman.
While Congressman James
Schoolcraft Sherman , republican
nominee for vice president ) is not
' so well known generally to west
ern people as Senator Dolliver or
Vice President Fairbanks , he is
by no means a stranger.
For fourteen years Mr. Sherman
baa been chairman of the house
committee on Indian affairs , and
in that capacity has become
pretty well posted with the West ,
its needs and its requirements.
A great many people from near
ly every state west of the Missis
sippi have cotne before Indian
committees of the senate and the
house , and Mr. Sherman is popu
lar with them.
When the time comes for Speak
er Cannon to step out cither vol
untarily or at the end of a contest ,
Sherman was always considered
as a very strong candidate for
speaker.
He has frequently presided in
committee of the whole house ,
and is an admirable presiding
officer.

Our Next President.
Secretary of War Taft has been
selected by the republican party
as its standard bearer in the nat
ional campaign of 1908.
"BigHill" Taft has made good
in every position in which he has
been tried. He is a worker , but
diplomatic. His public career is
like an open book , and there is
nothing in it that cannot be en
dorsed by every law-abiding citi
zen of the United States.
His greatest reputation has
been secured through his grand
accomplishments in the Philip
pines , Cuba and Panama. In
the Philippines he restored order
out of chaos , but in such a man *
ner that he gained the friend
ship of the Filipinos who were
brought under the government
of the United States.
In Cuba anarchy was super
seded by law and order as a re
sult of his trip to that islandand
the people arc now in better shape
than at any time since their es
cape from Spanish rule.
In Panama he has not only
been the great factor in the es
tablishment of order , but is the
main spring behind the work on
the canal which is to link two
oceans.
He is big and strong , honest
and clean. He has the education
and the experience necessary for
a man to fill the ppsition for
which he was nominated. He
will stand for right against wrong
and for fair dealing as opposed to
things that should not be as he
has always done.
Taft has been and is in sym
pathy with President Koosevelt
and will work along the same
lines. He will continue the poli
cies which have so popularized
Roosevelt and the administration.
Hurrah for "Bill" Taft and
you make no mistake.
