Mr.. Taft on the stump.
MINNEAPOLIS Journal lrenN.

"iilSdpOils journal Nrep.),
Little by little it is seen that Judge Taft
Is oelns forced into a speaking campaign.
His first intention, to which he has adj
hered down to date, was to retire to a
secluded place where he might rest. write
out such speeches as he though he might
use at his home city. and generally map
out the campaign. One can see whore
Judge Taft could busy himself with this
kind of work to the benefit of his party.
There is, for instance. his own relation
as a judge and as an administrator TO
labor. Who better could dictate the out
lines OF what that relation has been than
Judge Taft himself? The Addyston nine
case decision is cited as the best work of
MS Judicial career. 1t WIS a decision in
which Judge Taft dealt with a phase of
the trust question. But who knows much
or anything clearly about the Addyston
pipe case2
Then there is his relation to the Philip-
pines and the tariff on Philippine products.
This has been so obscured that even some
republicans misunderstood 1t. There was
a JOB for him In thus setting this out in a
plain. attractive campaign statement.
But now there is an insistent demand
that Judge Taft take the stump. 1t is
pointed out that there is a consideration in
this campaign paramont to all the things
mentioned, important as they are, and that
is that the people OF the country shall see
and know him. So it may be taken for
granted that short speaking tours will be
arranged for him. 1t is unlikely that he
Will undertake any cross-country runs. but
in the principal centers like New York.
Chicago, st. Louis he must be seen.
Judge Taft has made many political
speeches, and while he does not lay claims
to the oratorical ability Of Mr.. Bryan. he
holds the attention of his audience.

Bryan's personality is against him and

didate In this country whom so many peo-
pie would Ike TO support because OF HIS
issues, and cannot because OF distrust in
his personal stability. But II you are the
kind of man with whom erraticism in a

MI Bryan's idea seems to be that when
a man makes a deposit of any amount in
a bank, it is a loan TO the bank. and
should be guaranteed by all the other
banks in the country. But If this same
individual borrows from the same bank
there is nothing in Mr.. Bryan's plan
which guarantees the return of that loan
TO the bank. Why this discrimination?
