Calling President Taft a "hot supper artist," R. D. Andrews, a wealthy manufacturer of Lee, Mass., offers to bet $10,000 that Mayor Gaynor, of New York, will be the next president of the United States, barring death. "The country is tired of Taft and taffy," said Andrews. "Everyone of the conservative republicans is disappointed in Taft. What we hoped for was a man on the job and not a president chasing around to act as a sideshow for a baseball game, a premier of golf, a hot supper artist. The whole country is tired of it."
We fully agree with Mr. Andrews. President Taft has been a disappointment to the whole country. He is the most subservient trust server that has ever held high position.
