and Mr.. Bryan that what the labor

TAFT TALKS ON
STANDARD OIL
Says 1t Cannot Buy Immunity
by Supporting Him For
President.

BUFFALO, N. ". Oct. 81
Speaking in the Convention hall here
last night, William H. Taft took up
the Standard Oil subject.
Mr.. Bryan is greatly troubled, I"
said he, about my attitude toward
the trusts and even more so by the
announcement that Mr.. Rockefeller
is for me. II the Standard Oil COM
pany were anxious to bring about
my election should take it that the
last thing that would be done would
be to advertise its support for me.
Therefore this publication which Mr..
Bryan is now making so much of, it
seems to me, has but little signifi-
canoe in attempting to show that the
Standard Oil or any other trust be-
cause it hopes for immunity, is sup
porting me. That is not the way
things are done.
There is gentleman from your
city with very lively Imagination,
growing ever more lively as the re-
sponsibility of the campaign grows
upon him. He has conceived the idea
that the Standard Oil company con-
tributes a large amount of the re.
publican campaign fund. am in a
position to state with great emphasis
that neither the Standard Oil COM
pany nor any one connected with its
management has contributed a single
cent"
In comparing the remedies for
evils in trusts proposed by the demo-
cratic party. with the republican
policies, Judge Taft said:
The administration is prosecuting
the Standard Oil company and it in
tends to continue the prosecution un-
til that part which may be evil is
stamped out"
Sledge hammer blows at the Com
pers-Bryan labor legislation plans
were delivered here last night by Mr.
Taft before two immense audiences.
Mr.. Taft gave the names OF many la
Dor leaders high in the councils OF the
American Federation Of Labor who.
he said, were leaving Mr.. Gompers.
The attitude Of Mr.. Gompers.
he declared, with great emphasis, ''to
deliver the labor vote Of the country
is as audaeious an act of political
efrontery as has ever occurred in
the history of politics. 1t Is most
reassuring to note that the men as

A Trick
That Failed.

y. S. Judge Newman, Of Atlanta, has
refused to prostitute the Injunction to
the convenience Of the breweries.
The breweries have known fol
weeks the familiar cry that they
raised in their application for an in
junction. They have all along known
they would contest the constitutional
fty Of the Georgia prohibition law, and
they undoubtedly knew the ground on
which they would make the contest
They appear to have thought that if
an Injunction were secured at the last
moment, the authorities might be
forced to issue licenses, and that If
licenses were once issued they might
be held to be good for at least a year.
even IL the Injunction were finally dis
solved.
But Judge Newman very properly
refused to issue an Injunction. Why,
he does not say. but it is not hard to
imagine that he did so because he
knew the liquor interests had had am
pie time to file a suit to test the law
on its merits, and had probably waited
to the last moment as a matter of
choices. The Injunction was never de-
signed for such usage.
In his refusal to issue an Injunction.
and thus render a state law inopera-
tive before the question of its validity
is passed on by court of competent
jurisdiction, Judge Newman apart
from the question of prohibition-has
set other federal judges a most com
mendable example in the respect that
the federal judiciary owes state SOW
ereignty.
