The Republican presidential norni-
nee in addressing the. Republicans OF
West Verginia, when exto1ling the
great merits of his party is accredited
with saying in substance that the Re-
publican party has improved the
waterways and is building the Pan
anna canal, has started a movement
for the redemption Of swamp lands,
the conservation, of forest and water
resources and is. taking many other
steps for the development of the south.
The growth and development Of the
mining and iron : industries of the
south are directly due to the laws en-
acted by the Republican party. -. -,
No attention has been paid to; par
tisan proclivities in the appointment
in the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Cuba.
South's Lack Of influences.
The reason that the south has such
little influence in the executive branch
Of the government is that the south
has always ben considered by the
Democracy, especially by the north

same that after time traditional Ut.
tachment would rest lightly on an In

In another portion Of his speech
Taft replied to Bryan's speech OF ac-
ceptance, especially to the charge that
the people do not rule and that the
Republican party Is Responsible for
,, the corporation abuses. Taft pointed
to the overwhelming majority given
Mckinley and Roosevelt, the n1ainten-
ance of the gold standard, and the
protective tariff. ! He declared the
