A Word to First Voters
YOU, young man, who are about to cast your first ballot, arc
facing a grave responsibility.
Hitherto you have passively enjoyed the benefits of this
Republic. Now you are to become an active factor in the gov
ernment of the nation, assuming the full burden of the duties of
citizenship.
Though the privilege to vote comes to you without effort,
do not forget that to win it men fought in battlefield and forum,
and that to obtain it other men left their homes in foreign lands,
severing many ties and starting life anew,.
What will you do with your ballot?
It is no light matter for you to decide how you shall cast
your first vote, nor should you let yourself be swayed by whim
or prejudice. The whole subject lies before you for calm consid
eration, and it is your duty to give it this consideration.
With your first vote you ally yourself with a political
party. You have the opportunity to enroll yourself with the
Republicans, who have made this nation what it is to-day; who
have kept the faith bequeathed to them by the fathers and es
tablished a firm standard of sound statesmanship, administering
the government through men of proved experience and integrity.
If you make that choice you asssociate yourself at once with
men of achievement, leaders of the nation, and with a party of
honorable tradition and performance. You become identified
with the advance of civilization and can with proper pride feel
that you have helped toward progress.
But if any whim impels you to cast your lot with the op
ponents of those who have accomplished so much, reflect well
before you follow the impulse, for the so-called Democratic
party of to-day has drifted completely away from its former
id * .eering like a weathercock under the influence of untried
and visionary leaders who champion policies born of political
expediency. Remember that if you assist toward plunging the
nation into want, discontent and disorder, destroying both
domestic and foreigh credit, some of the blame and disgrace will
rest upon you.
For this year you have a voice in the election of a Presi
dent of the United States.
The Democrats put forward as their candidate : politician
who has changed his beliefs repeatedly, who is unst ile,and un
tried, and is distrusted even by members of the ptrty under
whose name he conducts his canvass, many of whon make no
secret of their intention to vote against him; whose fery nomi
nation created widespread alarm among business md i.
The Republicans offer as their candidate for the Presidency
a fearless, disinterested and upright man, trained in the severe
school of duty, whose career of accomplishment assures his fit
ness, whose record is one of unceasing industry in exacting tacks
and contains no hint of failure; whose personality has won the
esteem and approval of the American people.
His reputation for absolute spotlessness in both public and
private life is as well known abroad as it is at home. By tem
perament, capacity and experience he is qualified for the admin
istration of great affairs of state, lie has shown a single-minded
devotion to the scrvic.* of his country, with a broad and human
sympathy to which sound appeal is never unavailing.
This man is William Howard Taft.
Associated with him on the ticket is James Schoolcraft
Sherman, who for many years has sat in the councils of the na
tion, and is skilled in the conduct of public affairs.
Young man, you stand 011 the threshold of decision. Your,
first step into the world of politics will have a strong influence
on your life, affecting your associations and your business.
Before making your decision and taking a step that cannot
be retraced, read what is said on this matter by two statesmen
of unquestioned probity, devoted to the best interests of the na
tion, and honored for their high standards of political morality.
These men are Charles E. Hughes, Governor of New York and
Albert .1. Beveridge, Senator from Indiana.
Governor Hughes:
When we hear sounded a strident call to the defense of popular
rights, we look carefully to see who constitute the new patriotic army
into whose keeping we are asked to turn over the destinies of this great
nation. The campaign watchwords "Shall the People Rule?" and the 3
demand "Whether the government shall remain a mere business asset j
of favor-seeking corporations" are not impressive when emplazoned on
the banners of Tammany Hall and of other essential allies. The army
opposing us cannot pass muster either as one of defense or of salva
tion, and wo may wellpause be ->ro wo permit it, despite its boast of
fidelity, to garrison our institu, ns.
No one more than I desires to see administration purged of every
selfish taint, to have fair and impartial laws faithfully executed, to get
rid of every vestige of special privilege at the expense of public inter
est, to liberate trade from unjust encroachments, puriiy our electoral
methods and to maintain honest representative government. And it is
because of his loyalty to these ideals, because of his broad sympathies
and his rare equipmont in character, ability and experience, because
tested in the difficult fields of judicial and administrative work ho lias
proved his quality by eminent service, because of his varied learning,
his aquaintanco with affairs, his respect for constitutional government,
and his capacity intelligently and justly to plan and direct necessary
reforms that I most earnestly support the candidacy of William Howard
Taft.
Senator Beveridge:
The real question is, Which candidate will make the better Presi
dent? Which is the wiser and steadier? Which man would you choose
aa administrator of your estate? Which would you select to manage
your busines? Which has the better training and more experience?
Mr. Bryan never had handled a single foreign problem. He has
governed no Philippines, regenerated no Cuba, built 110 Canal, avoided
no alien danger, saved us from no threatened peril.
Mr. Taft has done all. It was his genius for the practical and de
votion to humanity that took Philippine chaos and made Philippine
order; took Philippine hate and changed it, by the alchemy of his tact,
to Philippine love. It was his statesmanship that achieved the impos
sible, converted an oriental people into a voting citizenship, and laid
the foundation for a future which, as God wills, may become a separate
nation or a glad and patriotic part of this great republic.
It was William 11. Taft who set Cuba in order, established her
feet in civilization's upward path; and it was he who, when so directed
by President Roosevelt, who first advised with Mr. Taft, when these
children of liberty tore his work to pieces, set up once more the blessed
rule of order and liberty and law with a father's patience and a states
man's wisdom. It is he who is commanding the practical work of that
greatest enterprise of human history, the building of the Panama
Canal.
It was lie whose counsel President Roosevelt sought at every
crisis of his historic administration; he who helped avert war when little
politicians and narrow minds would have plunged us into conflict. It
was William II Taft, whom our President, when confronted with for
eign perplexities and with the awful weight of our ninety millions' wel
fare 011 on his heart, sought for strength and wisdom; and it is William
H. Taft more than any man ever called to the leadership of the Ameri
can people who lias had the best training, the widest experience, and
the wisest teaching to fit him for that glorious but serious task.

HASKELL IS NOT
THE ONLYBURDEN
Bryan Handicapped by Kerr's
Corporation Connections.
GUFFEY MEN tiO'.V LAUGHING
[Special Correspondence.]
Now York, Oct.
Pennsylvanians, both Republicans
und Democrats, will be interested in
disclosures made by a correspondent
of the New York Sun regarding the
corporation connections of Bryan's in
timate friend, James Kerr, of Clear
field, Pa., whom he catapaulted into
th« Democratic national committee at
Denver after the Haskell steam roller,
at Bryan's direction, bad crushed out
Colonel James M. Guffey, who had not
only subscribed many thousands of
dollars to Bryan's campaign funds, but
also furnished free of cost the stained
glass windows which adorn the Bryan
household at Lincoln.
Hasksil, owing to the exposure of
his Standard Oil connections, has had
to retire from the treaaurershlp of the
Democratic national committee.
But Kerr still holus on.
Kerr and Corporation*.
Here is what a New York Sun cor
respondent has just written about Mr.
Kerr:
"To the accompaniment of the blare
of trumpets and the waving of many
flags, Colonel James M. Guffey, of
Pennsylvania, was convicted at Den
ver of the unpardonable sin of being
a corporation man, and the spotless
James Kerr was Installed in his place
as Democratic national committeeman
from the Keystone state. Never mind
the fact that Colonel Guffey was the
selection by a large majority of the
properly constituted delegation of
Democrats of his state. The state is
hopelessly for Taft anyway, and there
fore personal animosities must be
gratified while the ancient blufT of
'peepul' is carried out.
"The Peerless Leader therefore
smiled expansively and the faithful
cohorts chortled for Joy when the
wicked Mr. Guffey was exiled and that
well known corporation hater, 'free
from spot or blemish or any such
thing,' was presented faultless before
the representatives of the downtrodden
masses:
"But what Is this we find? Upon tak
itig up the Directory of Directors for
tlic year 1907-08—a satanic roll of
malefactors, appropriately bound in
red —we discover on page 347 the fol
lowing entry:
A Pretty Good List.

"A3 the late Hon. Henry Clay Bar
nabee was wont feelingly to remark:
'Another fond hope shattered!'
"Can this exalted apostle of civic
righteousness be the same James Kerr
who lor years has shared with (hut
other disinterested Democrat and on?
time candidate for governor of New
York, the Hon. John B. Stanchfleid.
the distinction —represensible but re
munerative —of safeguarding the in
tcrests of the New York Central in the
regions which lie between Geneva on
the north and WillianiKport on the
south? Can this same Mr. Kerr be th
immaculate defender of the 'peepul's
rights who in the organization of tin
New York Central's coal corporation
the 'Beech Creek Coal & Coke com
pany,' eat is his office and 'created
wealth* by signing up an artistic col
lection of common stock certificates
which were not heavily weighed down
by mere physical assets as equity
therefor?
"Alas! Alas! How are the mighty
fallen and the weapons of war per
ished! IT IS TO LAUGH."
