Big Crowd at Terre Haute.
Terre Haute, Ind, Oct. 23.-The
largest outdoor gathering Taft said he
ever had addressed was assembled at
Terre Haute when the Taft special
arrived there late yesterday afternoon
There were many in the carload of
local politicians which escorted the
candidate to the city that said it was
the largest gathering the state had
ever had.
The Injunction was the feature Of
this speech. and after it had been ex-
planned and the position of the two
parties clearly set forth, the candi
date declared with great vehemence:
THAT is where the Republican
party stands that is where stand
and / don't care what happens politi
caly that is where I am going to
stand, and have issued injunctions
against lawless laboring men who
were violating somebody else's
rights. If had not done it should
not have the right to be here asking
for your suffrages. What kind of a
judge do you want? Do you want a
Judge that distinguishes between
classes, decides in favor of one class
and against another? rs that the char
acter of a Judge you want in free
country? Is 1t not the Judge who,
under his oath, with the law as it is
laid down in the text book and the
statute and with the evidence before
htim, under his oath decides accord

issues the order that the law requires
him to issue?

man brings suit to recover damages
for the injury, but where the injury
is of a character recurring from time
to time in small acts for which you
can't recover damages that are ade-
quste, there equity says that a man
may have prevention rather than
cure. Then he may go to court and
say:
""This man is going to cut down
my tree. That tree won't grow in
twenty years. 1t belongs to me, it Is
on my place, and he is my tenant
He is going to injure it by wasting
that tree He goes into court and
asks the judge TO issue an injunction
to prevent the cutting down of the
tree. Is prevention better than cure
in such case? Why, then. should a
Judge refuse to issue the injunction: +:
That kind of remedy has been In
force for 400 years, and is the most
remidal writ that we have 1t proves
to protect poor men, not to oppress
them. For instance, the way it arose
was this:
Made to Protect Poor Men.
