Show , R WELL PREPARED CANDIDATE H t "Go over and see Ta(t about It" M a pM t remark lh.it has been uttered so often i by President Roosevelt that It has passed Into the slang of the day and H I has caused the nickname of General H Utility Bill to be bestowed on the B i War Secretary. And now the repub- H' Dean delegates have selected him as a ' candidate for an office where he will H j be of the highest utility to thi, nation. H,' I It has been said often and cannot be H' t emphasized too strongly that never In H I the history of the country has a presl- H i dentlal candidate been belter prepar- H j ed for the chief magistracy than this H faithful performer of the most varied H duties. By his education and tastes ! he Is a typical American and his ex- H periencc has made him Invaluable to L-W tlie country. A member of an old and H . respected Ohio family, a graduate of H i - Yale, and a Cincinnati lawyer, helms H had many advantages and opportun- H i Itles In his youth and public life and H Industriously has he protited by them H ( all, so much so that at the early age H , of thirty he wa9 Judge of the superior H court and at thirty-five he was aj,- Hl ' pointed Judge of the United Stales M t , Circuit court. Bred thus a lawer B- and a Judge he has aibo showed a ,1 special talent for international law, H' for the administration of colonial de- H , pendencies, and for ihe settling of m t governmental problems. H This talent has been developed by ex- H perience In both hemispheres, for his H dlpiomatlo travels have taken him to H the European capitals, to the court of H. the pope, toManlla, Havana, and I'ana- H ma. Asgoveruo'r of the Phlilipincs, H and as secretary ho has gained H from practical experience an Insight 1 Into governmental atlalrs that places M him high above Bryan. Taft has been M tried In the administrative balances M many times and has never been found M wanting, while Uryan, though well M known and much talked about, has M never been put to the test. He has L-M travelled around tjie world, has propa- (gated doctrines, and has talked lo multitudes, but he has done little in H the line of public office. Taft has do- M veloped the Judicial faculty in the H courthouse at Cincinnati; he hasdls- M ' played eminent organizing and execu- H tives faculties in the Philippines, at H Washington, and at Panama, and It B now ri mains lor him to give these M l qualities their highest expansion, In filling the greatest sphere of usefulness I to which the country may call the fittest of her sons. |
