Quick Sales Good Goods Living Prices Its a Business Axiom That a man can more. easily be sold” what he wants, than what the dealer wants to sell him. is generally admitted that the SAYERS & scoviLre and COLUMBIA BUGGIES are the HIGHEST GRADE VEHICLES sold in the county, the right of quality in construction and the right of quality in service are the two most essential mat- ters that we can offer you, secondary we wish to mention the price, which should be the last to take into consideration—the price on these high grade vehicles are no higher than other makes that do not have the STAND UP AND WEAR, QUALITY and FINISH of these VEHICLES.

All of these have sent acceptances by telegraph to headquarters. visory Committe are former Govs. David R. Francis and Joseph W. Folk. Hadley to Roosevelt : Gov. Hadley’s letter to Theodore Roosevelt advising fusion between Taftite and Teddyite Republicans in the state campaign gives an exact measure of the man. The letter contains just one point: that if both kinds of Republicans unite on the nominees of one faction the chance of electing them will be just so much better. Why this should have required 2,- 000 words or so we are at a loss to understand. paper and ink. The Republic, for once, agrees with Gov. Hadley. Fu- sion would help. The more people you can get to vote for a candidate the better the chance of electing him. And, further, if both of the great parties would fuss, that would elimi- nate all doubt and nomination would be equivalent to election. Why don’t they? Because of a lit- tle thing that does not appear to ap- political convictions. Here is where the governor parts company with the people who really make political history. He is unable to see anything in politics except im- mediate victory in the pursuit of of- fice. What are political convictions between friends when political plums go unpicked without co-operation? The Progressive movement, it is true, commands the support of a cer- tain following, of voters who are “Roosevelt mad’’ and will go after him any where, without thought or criticism. But these enthusiasts are not its real strength. What makes it significant is the indorsement of a large number of thoughtful, fair- minded citizens who have revolted against Republican corruption and bossism. The are still Republicans. They have not gone far enough to see that tariff taxes laid on everybody for the benefit of somebody will breed a crop of bosses annually, no matter how fast they are weeded out, and that what we need for the trusts is not more executive machinery, of existing law. But their sympathies are right and their disgust with the present Republican order is deep and genuine. To them comes Herbert Hadley, with his debonair smile and his en- gaging suggestion that if these re- volted voters will help support the candidates of the Taft faction they may be able to hold the state for stand-pat Republicanism! A-man_with any instinct for the moral elements in politics could not make such a suggestion; his own hon- esty and sincerity would prevent. A politician who had observed how that uncomfortable element, conscience, works ‘in ‘‘practical’’ politics would not make such a suggestion; his own good sense would prevent. Hadley was unrestrained in either of these popes and so he made it.—Repub- 1c.
