and forgotten and the Fourth of July
Q meaningless date on the calendar?
One of the most ridiculous Of these
prophecies was contained in speech
Mr.. Bryan made in support Of Judge
Parker during the campaign of 1904,
when he attacked President Roosevelt
bitterly. This prophecy had it that
military despotism was sure to follow
the decrease in the size of the standing
army. In this speech Mr.. Bryan also
emphasized the fact that he was then
and always would be a firm believer in
the principle Of free silver. He sum-
med up his position on this question in
the following sentence:
81 believe to-day in the principles set
forth at Chicago and Kansas City lie
to ~ and shall continue to fight for
those principles"

turn the labor vote over to Mr.. Bryan:
II am union labor man, and want
to say further that no man can carry
the labor vote into the Democratic
camp. | know how union labor men
feel in this city, and three-fourths OF
them will stand By the Republican
party because only in that way have
they the assurance Of freedom from

he can be elected. We workingmen

TAFT'S RELIGION.
A Consistent Christian with No Spot
Upon His Record Of Private Con-
duct and Public Service.

A Consistent Christian with No Spot
Upon His Record of Private Con-
duct and Public Service. .,.a..,
To dispose Of questions which should
not be asked ~ speedily as possible let
us say that Mr.. Taft is q member Of
the Unitarian church. That was the
church Of his parents, and he has never
separated himself from it. His wife,
however, is an Episcopalian, and he
worships more often beside her in her
church.
These are the facts, which are utter
ly and absolutely unimportant. The
matter of mans religion has no right
full place in consideration of his fitness
for the presidency. Yhe constitution
Of the nation, ordained and established
ito secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posteritE' expressly
places the vegy suggestion of such
thought outside the pale Of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from our cOuntry's funda mental law,
mo religious test ever shall be re-
quired as a qualification to any Office
or public trust under the United
States"
The numerous queries about Mr..
Taft's religious belief shows simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
to rouse some prejudice against him.
Since there was no spot upon his whole
clean record OF private conduct and
public service to which they could
point to Taft's detriment they display
ed their willingness to descend to any
depth Of petty. cowardly, contemplate
attack that might do him harm
