FBIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1908,
THE GREATEST MAN.
Bryan and other democrats are
constantly trying to make ont that
Roosefelt la dictating to Taft how be
shall ran the campaign and expressing
the fear that Ishould Taft be elected
Roosevelt will control him. Booh ar
gument is not only foolish, but ab
surd. If there Is any man upon whom
Roosevelt has leaned for advice dur
ing the years he has been in the
whitehoHe, that man is Taft, and
those who have kept watch of affairs,
know that in every matter of Im
portance, President Roosevelt has
consulted him. W. Bourke Cockran,
the great democratic orator, sized op
Bryan and Taft last week in Boston
interview when he aid:
"Yes, I shall support Bryan, be is
the best candidate the democrats
could put np. Taft, however, is the
greatest and best qualified nominee
ever offered in any republlo in the
world. He is a greater man thon
Roosevelt, and when sorronnded by
the same environments that made
Roosevelt great, will prove a bigger
man. Taft is a wonderful adminis
trator, the greatest the country has
ever seen and is a wonderful worker."
If Bryan was serioos in bis chal
lenge to Roosevelt to make good bis
charges against Hasoell, treasurer of
the democratic national committee,
be Is probably more serious now in
bis regrets for Teddy sure made good
and Haskell went away baok and sat
down.
The brewery at Btdliugham, Wkih.,

AMERICAN FEIMCF
American Rabbit and Stock Fence
is the best fence made for the use of the FkUIT GROWER and FARMER. Why ? Because it is made of
hard, stiff, Steel Wire that is thoroughly galvanized and will stand all kinds of weather without rusting. It
is made especially for the nee'ls of the fruit growers of Southern Oregon. It has no solid joints, every joint
being a hinge which allows the fence to conform to rough or irregular grou d and prevents an extra strain
from stretching the wires. Each lateral wire has two tension curves to the foot, which rerve as springs to
control the expansion and contraction. It weigh more per rod than other fences and costs less than other
fences of same weight. AH American Fence is sold direct to the retailer from the factory, which cuts out
the middle man's profit, thus enabling the retailer to give the consumer a better fence for his money than in
makes handled through jobbers.
