Mr.. Taft's Speech Of Acceptance.

1t is worth reading carefully-the
| speech of acceptance by the Repub-
lican candidate for the presidency
which the Journal publishes in full
but Mr. Taft had lot to say and he
has said it in a way that will hold the
| attention of any reader. Republican
| or Democratic. The clear cut way in
which he puts things is characteristic
of the man in all things-honest,
direct and square. with nothing to
conceal and without any ambiguity or
evasion This speech of acceptance is
the best campaign document that has
yet appeared and it is gratifying to
note the announcement that it will be
circulated broadcast throughout the
country.
1t is the kind of an utterance that
makes votes, for it mirrors the man in
his capacity as a board-gauged states
man who has thorough grasp of
public affairs and whose judicial
temperament makes him the type of
man that the country needs in the
White House. The speech is wholly
temperate in tone, but how completely
it strips the mask from Organism and
exposes the absurd Inconsistencies
and the catch-vote devices of the
Denver platform. 1t is something
that is absolutely beyond Mr.. Bryan
or any other Democrat to answer.
though of course they will fill the air
with sound in the attempt to JUSTIFY
their campaign.
Let every reader of the Journal
study this speech and keep it for re-
ference during the campaign. 1t
gives a summing up of the issues of
the day that cannot be beaten for
clearness and convincing force 1t is
an unanswerable argument why the
Democratic party is unfit to be
trusted with the control of national
affairs, and why the Republican party.
from its record it's principles and its
policies, should be kept in power.
1t is a speech in which Candidate Taft
makes good and will make the country
more pleased at the opportunity to.
make him President Taft. 4lHNoK

The Death of Congressman Powers.

Inc announcement OF tHe uedtH OI
Hon. Llewellyn Powers. Names re-
preventative in Congress from the
Fourth District, hardly comes as a
surprise to the people of the State.
for the serious nature of his long ILL
ness has been generally understood.
That he himself recognized the situa-
ton was indicated by his refusal
several weeks ago to accept the
unanimous denomination given him
by the Republicans of the District
which he has served SO faithfully, and
now it appears that in the Fourth
District as we'll as in the Second a
special election will be necessary to
fill out the unexpired term.
Congressman Powers was a member
of one of Names most remarkable
families. He and his brothers were
born in humble circumstances, but
they possessed ambition and a capac-
ity for hard work and by this COM
bination they gained good educations
and in later years have won the
highest places in the professional.
business and political world.
Llewellyn was the oldest of the 10
children and was born in 1888 in a
log house in Pittsfeld where his
boyhood was passed. Since 1861 his
home has been in Houlton where he
quickly went to the front as lawyer
Since 1854 when Aroostook elected
him it's county attorney he has been
much in public life and his busy
career is a part of the history of the
State
After serving six years as county
attorney he was four years the COL
lector of customs for Aroostook and
then served four terms in the Legisla-
ture. In 1876 he went to Congress,
remaining only one term at that time
For years after that he devoted him.
self with marked success to business
extensive cumberland inter-
ests. In 1892 he was prevailed upon
to go back into politics and he again
represented Houton in the Legisla-
ture for several terms, serving as
speaker of the House in 1895. In
1896 he received without opposition
the Republican nomination for
Governor and he was elected by the
largest majority ever given Maine
candidate, being re-
elected in 1898. Upon the death of
Congressman BOutelle in 1901 he was
elected to Congress where he has since
served with distinction, being re-
turned at each election by over
whelming majorities.
Congressman Powers was a man of
strong personality. He was eminently
a man of affairs and possessed ex-
ceptional executive ability. He was
Governor of Maine at the trying time
of the difficult problems that
arose at that time is well remembered.
In politics and in business his word
was always as good as written con-
tract. He was fine public speaker
and on the stump for more than 80
years he did effective work for the
Republican cause in this and many
other states. His Republicanism was
the kind that never wavered from the
day he cast his first vote Congressman
Powers will be missed and mourned in
Maine and at Washington. and the
of the great constituency
which he represented so ably and of
a great host of personal friends goes
out to the family in their hour of
bereavement
