TAFT FOR PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES
The Roosevelt Club of the Western
Maryland College held its annual ban-
quet at Ford '8 Inn, Westminster, Md.,
F'eb. 24, 1920. There being' a goodly
number of the members present and the
intense interest -manifested not only by
the speakers hut bv the hearers as well
accounts for it -being an unique affair.
The meal was elaborate and the dining-
loom was decorated with Ameriean
1\ags and the walls were adorned with
pictures of America's greatest men:
Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt.
The men gathered at this banquet
represented nine different states of our
nation and the Dist. of Columbia and
six of these states arc under Democrat-
i<: rule. These men say that the rna-
jor ity of people in these states are dis-
~ntisfie(l and arc expressing a desire
for a change in the administration of
politics and glad to ~ay they are in te-
\ or of the Republican party.
Our country seems to be ruled main-
ly by those who belong to a class ca.ll-
cd Naturaliats, and in describing them
we would say of tho problems of the
human life-Our ~ation, that the con-
tradtct.ions arc only seemingly and if
the question as to whether the immedi-
ate happincsa which comes from the
gratification of a personal and present
physical appetite or the more remote
happiness that will come from con-
sidering Rocinl well·being and of the
future goorl that will come from thia
present self denial, they will gratify
the immedia~ happiness.
