The Republic cannot vouch for the dent Taft has written to.an Indiana politician and to others that the House of Representatives to be chosen in November will be Democratic. He may have written to this effect, or some people may think he ought to have so written. The Republic is certain only that if he did. say it his forecast of the elections of 1910 does great credit to his political sagacity. But though the conclusion is sound, the reasoning by which the President is said to have reached it is lament- |feat this year rather than fulfill the | |promises and pledges of two years ago. What they propose or expect | to do after this deluge is as yet a dark jsecret. But the outraged voters | know what they are going to do.
