Wild With Enthusiasm Nebrdskan Speaks
on Point Of YieW'tO Thousand.

Secretary Taft admits that tariff re-
form Is necessary, although he Yields
to his habit of postponing and would
put the reform of until after the
election.
1.-The president has not endorsed
the election Of senators by direct !
vote OF the people, although this
democratic reform is SO popular that |
the house OF representatives has de- |
clared for 1t five times by nearly |
unanimous vote. The president has |
not recognized the right of the Fill
ipinos to the promise OF ultimate in
dependence although the democratic
position on this question has been
vindicated by experience. He has
not yet endorsed the democratic posi-
tion on government by Injunction,
but In his last message he intimated
that it might become necessary to
restrain the use of writ Of injunc-
tion if the abuse of this writ contin-
ued. lie reminded me OF the man
who went TO the theater on pass.
The play was so unsatisfactory that
the audience hssed and hooted, but
the man with the pass kept quiet.
Finally one of the audience asked
him why he did not join 10. and he
replied: Il do not like this play any
. more than the rest of you. l am in
here on a pass, but If this play gets
much worse I'll go out and buy a
, ticket and come back, and then.
will hiss with the rest Of you.
"Here are four democratic doc
trines he has not yet endorsed, and
now let me call your attention to
some very undemucratic doctrines
r which he has announced. In the
: first place, he favors the national in
] spection of railroads and other inter-
e state commerce corporations. and
4 this is in line with his idea that the
federal government can, through a
5 treaty. interfere With the school sys-
tenn of California. The democrats
: insist on recognition of the right OF
f the state to exercise its constitution
G al rights-over domestic affairs. lie
l. has recommended a ship subsidy
which is so undemocratic that il
/. had the sulid opposition of the demo
l. cratic party and the opposition of ;
n number of republicans from the in
e terror states. He has advocated al
" asset currency, which is also undem
If ocratic, and he las manifested
IL military spirit entirely out OF har
is mony with democratic ideas ant
is democratic ideals. Here are fou
% positions taken by him which ar
he undemocratic, and may add tha
is the republican leaders have supports
Id him quite enthusiastically in all tina
Dr. was undemocratic and have oppose
him quite persistently where he wa
le democratic.
