Allen On Taft.
Fremont Tribune : Former Unitci
States Senator William V. Allen is ai
eminent anti-republican who is not a
all sure President Taft can be defeat
ed in this year of grace. He is quit
certain , on Hie contrary , that Prol
Wilson , now governor of New Jersey
cannot do it. He enumerates sonn
good reasons lor thinking it. Hi
says the professor has not had tin
experience in doing the world's worl
that is demanded by the people o
the United States as a quallflcatioi
fitting a candidate for the presidency
that he is theoretical , impractical
There is in Senator Allen's common
a good deal of weight. He is an oil
hand in politics and he fully expect
to see a solid and formidable lineui
behind President Taft , candidly ad
mitting the achievements of the president
ident when submitted to the carefu
and searching scrutiny of a presides
tial campaign will command vast re
spect from the voters. Some of hi
old-time associate's are charging th <
senator with being reactionary. Hard
ly that , we should say ; only glvini
honest recognition to palpable facts
This is so unusual from that side o
the political fence as to be unclassi
fled , so that in doing so it is littl
wonder his old-time associates do no
know how to locate him.
