TAFTS ACCEPTANCE.

That Judge Taft's speech of accept
ance today will disappoint his followers
cannot be gainsaid. and far-fe;ched in
deed is the assumption that such
speech can instill any life into the
Tafe campaign.
The speech, the essential parts of
which are published in this afternoons
Statesman. is indicative of the rather
peculiar confusion resulting from the
attempted subversion of the judicial
temperament to the cause of politi-
cal expediency.
Taft sounds best when he is laud-
ing the achievements of President
Roosevelt. That Taft has been faith
full in his service to the present, ad-
ministration is not denied His loyal
ty has been of the unquestioning kind
and throughout his administration
President Roosevelt has had the sup
port of one man who believed that "the
king can do no wrong" This. loyalty
has deveioped an affection which was
cemented when Roosevelt selected
Taft as his successor. and there is
ring of sincerity in Taft's words of
praise for his illustrious chief.
But away from Roosevelt and Roose-
velt's administration, Taft seemingly
founders in sea of indecision. Try
as he can to get away from it, ne con-
tinually drops back to the monotone
of the bench. with his careful regard
for precedent and iechnicalities and his
in-concealed awe of anything that be-
speaks of the spirit of progress or

Tribune-"The courts rulings that
the number of offenses was arbitrarily
multiplied and that the judge cannot
fit his penalty to the supposed resour-
ces of remote persons not before him
as defendants preclude the possibility
of any similar sensational fine In case
a retrial results in a verdict of guilty.
The first verdict was obtained, accord
ing to the present ruling, by withhold
ing from the jury the material evil
dence in favor of the defense. If that
evidence had been admitted there is
doubt in the courts mind whether a
verdict of guilty could have been
reached. 1t is a fact to be regarded
with satisfaction that this decision is
by a unanimous bench"

Many Voters Who Cannot

Questions Imposed.

Although the new registration law
requires the signing OF the registration
books, or answers to many questions
II the elector cannot write, the indica.
lions were that there would be the
heaviest registration to-day since the
last presidential election. In the
th!ckly settled districts serious delay
was encountered In explaining to
voters the requirements Of the new law
and securing the proper answers from
them.
In election districts chiefly populated
by foreigners large numbers turned out
to register. but the election inspectors
had their patience tested to the utmost
Few could remember the names Of their
parents. many were reluctant to give
the names OF their employers or tell
whether they were married or single
And generally there was manifesto
ton OF reluctance when the demand
was made to subscribe signatures.
These delays were especially exas-
perating TO the registration officers in
the San Juan Hill district, where the
voting population is chiefly negro.
on the east side where Yom Kippur
was being celebrated, there was very
rs j, registration early in the day. but
afte o'clock this evening 1t is ex-
uec-ed that there will be rush to
register.
Assemblyman Lewis A. Cuvillier, OF
the Thirt!eth Assembly District, re-
fused TO obey the new law when he
went to register in the Eighteenth Elec-
ton District OF his Assembly district.

denied the right TO register lie took i'm

A little sugar in the mash for late
