 elected. to violate the pledges made
 by him and his party. be a most pot.
 ent reason why honest and patriotic
 men should withhold their support
 from him and his cause?
 Should the fact that a candidate
 for the Presidency is regarded as so honest as to be incapable of violating
 his platform pledges be an argument l against his election?'
 These questions put by John W.
 Kern. Democratic nominee for the Vice-Presidency, to crowd that flled
 every available foot of room in Tam
 many Hall, tonight were answered by
 an outburst of shouting and cheering | the like of which the nominee had not
 heard since the nominee entered upon his speaking campaign five weeks ago. Mir. Kern was given a noisy greet. ing when he entered the hall and later
 when he was joined on the platform | by Lieutenant Governor Chanler. the Democratic candidate for Governor of New York, the two men were kept busy for several minutes lowing their
 acknowledgements of the plaudits of the crowd.
 MT. Kern was introduced by VII. Ham Sohmer, a prominent Tammany
 leader. The Vice Presidential oandi-  interest In this country had anything 1 to fear from the election of Mfr Bryan, but that the mission of the Democratic i Party was to build up business and

 If you ask the average Republican business man in New York 1T he Is Tn favor of tEe establshment or post1I savings banks he will at once answer in the negative. If you then call his attention to the fact that Mir. Taft fs nied9ed through his platform to the establishment of postal savings banks in the country, he will shrug his shoulders and if honest. will tell you that he does not believe that any se- rious effort will be made on behalf of that reform in event of MT. Tatts election. Yet that man will vote for Taft with the distinct belief that he is deliberately attempting to deceive the American people and trick them out of their vote.
 Pledged to Policies.
 Ask the average protected manu- facturer if ha is in favor of the law | providing that no injunction or re- | straining order shall under any cir | cumstanees be issued by any court | without notice. and you will receive | firm and decisive answer that he Is in favor of no such thing. Then If you l call his attention, to the fact that Mir. | Taft is pledged to the carrying out of | the Roosevelt policies and that MT. | Roosevelt. in his message of March | 25 last. declared that no temporary re- straining order should be issued by any court without notice, he will in- form you that he has not the slightest fear that under Mir Taft's administra- ton any such legislation would be se riously considered.
 And then this man will likely vote for Taft for the express reason that he had no confidence in the pdeges his candidate has made to the people.
 Take a broader and more patriotic | view of the question than that suggest | ed by mere selhshness. which candi- date is the safer man for the people, | the man who proposes to conscientious | iy keep his word and carry out his | pre election pledges, or the man who | subscribes to pledges and policies | which he has no thought of carrying | out If elected?
 Laying aside all questions of pa- triotisn for the moment, and consid- | erfng only the moral aspect of the | question, every good citizen will agree | that he is the safer candidate who | proposes to keep his word with the | people"
