Platform adopted by national republican
pfrty.
Ia his speech OF acceptance OF the re-
publican nomination M. Tat said:
"The republican pIa form refers to
those amendments to the constitution
that we're parsed by the republican parts
for the protsciionof the negro.
1t is needless to st,ts that l stand with
my ra'ty squsrely on that plank IN the

If the foregoing plank from the repub-
licsn pla form should actually be carried
into effect, the result would be apparent
at once 10 the South in the return OF
conditions from which our people have
freed themselves.
II the republican rarty and Mr.. TAFT
do not mean to enforce these declarations
If given the power, then that party and
its candidate are fsbdca ors aud deDa
gogues, and as such unworthy of the sup
pert of any right-thinking S }uthern man.
If the republican party and Mr.. TAFT do
mean what they say then Virginia and
every Southern State must, in the event
of republican success, except the mott
vigorous partisan attack upon the validity
of our new election laws, and the most
determined effort 10 reetore the neGrJ to
