It looks as if golf might be made "the issue" of the Presidental campaign, and as if the American voter may have to decide whether the candidate who plays golf is an autocrat and the candidate who does not go in for golf for recreation is a friend of the people. Recently a correspondent of a Chicago paper said that Mr Taft had been urged by many friends to go out among the people, as the masses had a prejudice against a candidate who spent his summer at "an aristocratic resort playing" golf." Mr Taft, according to a correspondent of the New York Tribune," frankly admits that he had received letters from people urging him to give up golf as being "a rich man's game" and "waste of time." Meanwhile, Mr Bryan, who has probably never had a golf club in his hand in his life, keeps himself sound by superintending work on his farm, which, his opponents aver, he purchased expressly that he might be photographed in the part of a worker.
