PRESIDENT' ASKS
FOR SQUARE FIGHT
Denounces Moose Electors on
Republican Ticket
CALLS THEM "DISHONEST MEN"
Roosevelt Given Ovation In Provi
dence, R. I., Where He Opens Pro
gressive Campaign Dem. Canvata.
Addressing members of the Mary
land Republican Editorial association
In the East Room of the White House
President Taft declared bluntly that
presidential elector were "dlahonest
men" If they let their names appear
on the Republican ballot and Intended
to vote for the candidate of another
party.
He asserted that those who were
not for the Republican party were
against It and should get out of the
way.
"Regularity, or feeling of regularity
and respect for the Republican party
for what It has done, what it is cap
able of doing, are going to bring over
Into the Republican party many a man
who has been doubtful, and it is going
to Increase that number, in my Judg
ment, as we approach the election.
"It is therefore essential that we
make the cleavage as clear as It can
be made, so that those who are Re
publicans shall be Republicans, and
those who are with the bolters shall
bear their name and title, and not be
Republicans and bolters, because they
cannot be at least they ought not to
be In all fairness.
"If there are men on that list who
are not going to vote for the men at
the head of that ticket, I don't
hesitate to say that they are dishonest
men, in that they are holding out to
the people who are to vote for them
an Implied promise that they will vote
for the names on the ticket, when
they, in fact, Intend to vote for some
body else."
Rhode Islanders Cheer Teddy.
Colonel Roosevelt made the opening
speech of his campaign In Providence,
R. I. The colonel's greeting was en
thusiastic. While the band played
"Hall to the Chief" the entire crowd
of about 3,000 persons was on Its feet
and for ten minutes cheered.
While Rev. J. S. Wadworth offered
prayer and while Chairman E. K.
Tuttle was making his Introductory
remarks a condition approaching a
riot arose. It was all the police could
do to close the doors.
"I have already been asked three
times since my arrival In this city,"
he said, "this question: 'Is this pro
gressive movement liable to last?'"
"I want to tell you right now and
most emphatically that it is a move
ment that is here to stay and that I
have simply started It two or three
years earlier than It would otherwise
have started. It Is a permanent move
ment and Is here to stay."
Cheers followed the statement: "The
Progressive party has made up Its
mind that it would like to have the
United States senate represent some
one rather than It does represent."
Again there was loud applause when
the colonel said: "Our opponents
have said we shall make mistaken.
Very true, I expect that we shall, but
we will maVe them ourselves, we don't
want want the bosses to make pur
mistakes for us."
Result ol Democratic Canvass.
The first canvass of the sentiment t f
the country by males, made through the
Democratic national committee is com
pleted. Summarized It shows an over
whelming Wilson sentiment through
the country, a complete change in
the political map. a recasting of the
list of the doubtful, certain and Iot
states and a division of the e!etoraI
rotes into three columns. It also
shows that Wilson will be elected by
as great a malorlry aa any president
ever had from the United grates.

voting a good deal more attention to
their requirements for the first half
of next year, but future business Is
not readily accepted unless higher

NO FIELD FOR THEIR WORK
How The Good Young Man Frorr
California Set the Card
Sharpers Right
There are good men In California,
Tcry good men, and shrewd men, too
(according to Ell Perkins). One day
B real good young man, who used to
tench a Bible class In San Francisco,
boarded the Union Pacific train at
Ogden. He was going home to Bos
ton as a delegate from California to
the Massachusetts Sunday-School as
sociation. He wns neatly and sweetly
dressed and spent most of his time
reading the Christian at Work. Aftet
a while he got Introduced to a colonel,
a professor, and a doctor, who said
they lived In Boston, and they invited
him to take a quiet game of euchre.
During an animated religious conver
sation, three aces were thrown on his
side of the table, after which one of
the Bostenians gayly remarked, with
the greatest coolness, "I wish that we
were playing poker. I don't know that
I have been favored with such a hand
for years." Our religious young man
from San Francisco Immediately saw
the game pf the sharpers, looked up
innocently, and remarked: "I have
been favored aso. I have a pretty
good pokep band myself." The three
looked at each other significantly.
"Thy eall you professor?" asked the
young man from San Francisco.
"Yes." "And they call you colonel?"
"Yen." "You are from the East, I
b!lTe?" "Yes. from Boston." "Well,
gentleman," he continued, rising, "you
had better take the next train back.
W meet It just the other side of the
Or rid Canon. You can't make a cent
at thU. They nave been teaching It
In the Sunday-schools In California for
years."
