The nomination of Secretary Taft was bust the recording of} the ma- ehine’s work which had been accom- plished weeks beforeband, and, of course, was expected aud created not aripple. Aside from a partisan view, 4ieto be deeply regretted that the nominee of one of the great political parties should be made from the White House, that a president should be perm|tted to name his}sue- cessor through his vast army of ap- potntees. While this has always been recogniz2d as possible and:fre- quently pointed ous as ominous, it remained for President Roosevelt to use the full power of his great office openly, boldly, {n defiance of public opinion and all proprieties to force the nomination of his cabinet officer, his personal friend and pliant tool, upon his party. The sole purpose being the continuance and perpetua- blon of the ‘Roosevelt policies.” Worthermore this had been done over the protests of the strongest eaders within the Republican party, showing the immense power of the president’s appointive machine and she great menace {$ becomes to our government, when placed in the hands of @ strong, self-willed, ambitioue man, like the present {incumbent of the White House, The nomination of a Vice-Presi- dential candidate was not considered ol greet importance to the machine and the “allies” were permitted to have an inning.
