Editor of Tho Bop: Here Is my .reply to

f the Woodrow Wilson Collego mon s
leSBWel
Iteplylng to your letter i win uy
am supporting William H. Taft for
president and will vote for him if I live
untll.the fifth day, of the coming Novem
ber. I think Taft Is tho safest man lor
tho place.
It would be dangerous to place llooso-
velt there again, for ho la not a man
ot his word and his ambitions cause him
to override both friend and Too in a
ruthless manner. Ho wants to be tho
dictator of America.
The bullet shot Into him may make him
some votes that belong to Tuft, but tha
real fight Is botween Taft and Wilson.
I believe the president did right in sign
ing tho Payne-Aldrloh bill and in veto
ing the bills passed In piecemeal by the
house lost wlpter, Taft's administration
fifty years from hoW will be piaoea as
one of the greatest tho country ever saw.
I apt opposed to Wilson for several
reasons. He Is an oia styie ana oia
fashioned southern fro trade democrat
and hji has no Interest In tho great things
that havo been accomplished by the peo
ple of the north. He Is In favor or giving
pensions to cx-confederate Boldlors and ot
taking pensions from the old union sol
diers who may own a little property and
of sending tha rest of the old soldiers
to soldiers' homes, as he sys pensions
are merely a matter of .charity.
As the son of a union soldier wno r-
celved'speolat mention for bravery "on the
field5 otcbattle several times from, hlr su
perior ojflc'ers, I am opposed' to vny such
doctrines as are advanced by Wilson in
regard to the old soldiers who battled for
four years to ssvo this union.
The giving .of pensions la not generally
regarded as an act of charity, but aa a
symbol of the gratitude the nation shows
to the men who risked life and limb
that we might have a nation for Wllsou
to want to rule over.
Had the south won, he today would
