Show TAFT AND DEATH. The Salt Lake Ilerald-Republicau says that Roosevelt overshadows over-shadows La Follctte and darkens the Wisconsin man's future. By a careful reading of today's Associated Press dispatches, the Herald-Republican editor will discover a message from the White House in which Taft associates himself with Death and a second term, and in which the statement is made that Taft's friends have advised him to break with Roosevelt. Further on in the same dispatch dis-patch is an admission that the Taft people have been trying to smoke oat Roosevelt. Evidently the shadow that Roosevelt casts has given Taft and his champions far more concern than anyono not of Taft's political family. When the Staudpat governor of Michigan, in order to get rid of La Follettc, offers to assist in administering sleeping powders to Taft, if some one will volunteer to chloroform the Wisconsin senator, sen-ator, it is evident that of all candidates feared by the Standpatters, not one is so dreaded as La Follctte, not even Roosevelt. |
