knew Kemp as a lover of horses and
knew his fonduess for betting. They are

downfall now that he has denied that
race horses were the cause.
The police have learned that after leav-
ing this city Kemp went direct to New
York City and then to Jersey City, where
he secured a position with a large bust

him much praise. and after but short

Evansville, Ind, Oct. 22.-Durng this,
the first of three days he is to spend
in Indiana, William II Taft has talked
to more people than on any previous
day of his campaign. In each of his 16
speeches, the listeners and applauders
have numbered thousands. Rejunevat-
ed in voice, energy and enthusiasm by
his one-day rest the candidate handled
the campaign with even a greater de-
gree of positiveness than heretofore. In
the very first speech he made he rld!-
culed Mr.. Bryan's charge of bribery
in connection with the promises of en-
ployers to their employees of more work
with Republican success, and the or
ders OF business for goods said to be
made contingent on the same result.
These We're not brides he said, but
business They did not represent false
conditions, but facts.
Judge Taft talked today to many la
Dor audiences and it was noticeable
that what he said was more educa-
ticnal than heretofore. At Lincoln,
where he spoke to several thousand
coal miners, he gave them the history
of the writ of injunction, something he
has not previously done. At Terre Haut
he made a clear distinction between the
Republican and Democratic platforms
on the use of the injunction, and de-
clared business to be property. While
Mr.. Bryan has not been overlooked
during the day there were two ccca-
si0ns when Candidate Debs came IL
for attention. These We're at Terre Haul
the home of DebS, and at the two meet
ings at Evansville. In both instances
Mr.. ;)ebS was claSSed as d Socialist. a
doctrine regarding which the candidate
expressed the belief that the American
neople we're not prepared vet to accept.
One IF the largest CROWDS Mr.. Taft said
he had ever addressed was assembled
at TCr"c Haute when the Taft special
arrived this afternoon.
Tie Injunction was the feature of
this speech and after it had been eX-
planned and the position of the two par
ties clearly set forth. the candidate
declared with great vehemence:
"That is where the Republican part
stands; that is where I stand and
don't care what happens politically.
