LARGE AND SENSIBLE Men of all parties are able to ap preciate the sensible and unselfish brand of patriotic servce which has beej consistently but unassumingly offered by William Howard Taft. His amiability was not even dis turbed by the incidents of 1912 and his statesmanship is of that sublime quality which finds him incapable of harboring a grudg?. The New York Time3 remarks: "Mr. Taft has been of vast servce ia nis country, Dotn m orrice and oui of it. In particular, since the war oejran he tias stiown a broad, gen erous patriotism with very little con sideration j for' partisanship. His work for the 'league of nations is another evidence of his superiority j to the ideas and tactics of the mere partisan." ; The fact is. Mr.( Taft is one of the wisest and most capabe men of his time of all time. It would be fortunate for his coun try, if its people could be assured of his services in the place of highest authority in he reconstruction days of he future fortunate for his coun try and for the world at large.
