Primaries Next Tuesday. 
It is well for every voter to bear 
in mind the duties and responsi- 
bilities of citizenship on next Tues- 
day. For the first time in the politi- 
eal history of this state the citizens 
have been able directly to. express 
their preferences for the nomina- 
tion of their party for President of 
the United States. The question to 
he settled on Tuesday will be of 
larger influence than the actual day 
of voting for president because of a 
strange combination of cireumstan- 
ees. The country is looking for- 
ward with unusual anxiety to the 
decision which is made in the Old 
Bay State. 
The attitude of the Old Bay State 
will have a larger influence than 
the small number of delegates which 
will go to the convention. The 
moral influence of Massachusetts 
loval to Taft or bolting to the Roose- 
velt will be great. There can be no 
escaping the conelusion that the 
votes in Massachusetts this year will 
count as they never have counted 
before in the choice of a President. 
It is evident on the face of things 
that Massachusetts is a strategtic 
politic to east his hat into the ring 
in Massachusetts. Mr. Taft has been 
in Massachusetts before and was 
here again this week. 
No one who has heard Roosevelt 
and Taft upon these great issues 
can fail to be drawn with irresist- 
ible power to the standard of hon- 
esty and integrity and national 
unity so ably and tactfully main- 
tained by the greatest President the 
country has known since the days 
of the immortal Lincoln. If there 
is any resemblance in the arena of 
modern politics of any personality 
to the Great Man who saved the 
country it is William Howard Taft. 
Patiently like the man of the Civil 
War days he has borne the heat and 
battle of the day and refused to 
descend to the pit to find political 
campaign material. He has stayed 
at his post doing the nation’s work. 
Roosevelt is a mighty man. He 
served his country well. No man 
with judgment or sense of fairness 
will attempt to ‘‘smudge’’ the noble 
career which was his. Besides he 
has been our president. He has been 
a man chosen from among the peo- 
ple to lead the destinies of the na- 
tion as its chief executive. As such 
Mr. Roosevelt deserves the honor 
and respect of every loyal Ameri- 
can. 
But all that Mr. Roosevelt is and 
has been Mr. Taft is, also. Fearlessly 
he has refused the dictation of little 
and big men in polities. The very 
antagonism of Mr. Roosevelt to the 
policies of Mr. Taft and Mr. Taft’s 
stubborn refusal to be infiuenced, 
ecajoled or intimidated into taking 
on other positions than his own be- 
cause they were the positions of his 
friend, Theodore Roosevelt shows 
the strength of the man. Mr. Roose- 
velt is a strong man and his power 
has and is great but he was unable 
.to eatech in his nets the masterly 
spirit of Taft. If Mr. Roosevelt has 
been strong Mr. Taft has ‘been 
stronger and he has and will have 
the loyal vote of every republican 
voter on Tuesday of next week. 
The Gardner-Roosevelt Issue. 
Mr. Roosevelt did avoid meeting 
Mr. Gardner in open debate in a 
Massachusetts arena. The refusal is 
significant. The giants did not meet. 
Mr. Roosevelt was wise. There was 
nothing for him to gain and every- 
thing to lose. The situation in

Massachusetts has been so tense it 
would have been a bad defeat for 
Mr. Roosevelt. Besides, the odds 
were against him. It would have 
been a battle on the enemies ground. 
It was well for his campaign that he 
stayed away. 
He has lost nothing, but Mr. Gard- 
ner gained. much. Mr. Gardner’s 
gains were Mr. Taft’s gain. 
The terrible catastrophe in the 
loss of the Titanie will result in 
twenty-four hour wireless service on 
board transportation vessels, the 
equipment of all large crafts with 
efficient apparatus, an abandonment 
in winter of the northern route, an 
international patrol of the iceberg 
danger zones, the arbitrary limita- 
tion of the sizes of steamers, the 
governmental regulation of bulk- 
head construction and life boat and 
raft equipment, properly supplied 
with water and food, to afford 
refuge for all the passengers and 
all the crew and an adequate regular 
drill of the erew in the management 
of life boats on board the steamer 
and in the water. 
Mr. Taft’s speech last night at the 
Boston arena, was the work of a 
Master orator. The tremendous en- 
thusiasm which his personality ere- 
ated was unmistakable. Massachu- 
setts goes for Taft. 
At no time during the sad days 
following the loss of the Titanic has 
it been publicly realized as at Bos- 
ton, when President Taft appeared 
without his faithful friend. 
The indifferent stay at home voter 
is the menace of modern life. Do 
not sell your birth right by simply 
neglecting to vote.
