that relating to injunctions will re-
ceiye greatest attention, inasmuch as
criticism from democratic sources has
been made on his record while ON the
bench, and the two parties having
adopted planks on that subject, Mr..
Taft. II Is said, will declare his posi-

congress and which was ignored as
an issue by the Chicago convention.

accept the Bryan challenge to make
publicity one of the leading issues in
the coming fight, and when his speech
of acceptance has been delivered
there will be no doubt in Mr.. Bryan's
mind or In anybody else's how Mr..
Taft stands on this question.

cratic platform that the republicans
intend to conduct the present cam

wrested from the favor seeking cor
porations, and he is prepared to
challenge the democrats to show their
good faith by coming in, as the repub-
leans have, under the operation OF

selves to that law Mr.. Taft and other
republican leaders feel that they have
scored a point on the democrats
