tude commensurate with the great
honor conferred; accepted with full
appreciation of the obligations which
accompany that honor, an honor great
er because my name is linked with
that of William II. Taft, whom re-
spect and esteem highly and who ap-
proaches the high office of president
exceptionally we'll equipped to dis
charge the duties and bear the varied
and weighty responsibilities of that
exalted position. My acceptance
could not be made with honor unless
were in full accord with the declara-
ton OF principles adopted by the con-
vention. Not only am in full and
complete accord with my party's plat
form. but endorse every statement
made by Mr.. Taft In his address of
acceptance when notified of his nom
inatton as the Republican candidate
Tor president.
That speech fully and eomprehen-
sively discusses the issues of this
campaign as presented by the plat.
forms Of the two great parties, SO that
It IL appropriate that my statement
should be short. Those not convinced
by the presentation Of Mr.. Taft I
could not hope to persuade. It is,
however, In conformity with custom
that refer at least briefly to some of
the important issues Of the campaign.
Protection Aid to Prosperity.
First, then, let me say that 1 am
lYotectionist. am sufficiently prac-
ttst to value the utility of a fact
,hkhfr than the beauty of a theory
d am protsctionist because ex-
ferienee has demonstrated that the
Application Of that principle has lift
cd US as q nation to plane of pros
perity above that occupied by any
6ther people.
l especially commend that plank of
oAr platform which promises an early
rt0tsion Of tariff schedules. That
pledge will be fulfilled in an adjust
mont based in every particular upon
the broad principles of protection for
all American interests, alike for labor,
for capital, for producers and con-
sumers The Dingley bill when en-
acted was well adapted to the then
existing conditions. The developments
Of Industrial prosperity in decade,
which in volume and degree have sur
passed our most roseate expectations,
have SO altered conditions that in GER
tain details of schedules they no long
or In every particular mete out JUS
tice to all. In this readjustment the
principle of protection must and will
govern.
The Republican party believes In
the equality of all men before the law;
believes in granting labor's every re.
quest that does not seek to accord
rights to one man denied to another
Fair minded labor asks no more. no
less, and approves the record of the
Republican party because Of that par
tvs acts. rs.
! have helped to make my party's
record in the enactment of the eight
hour law, the employers liability act,
the statutes to minimize the hazard Of
railroad employees, the child labor law
for the District Of Columbia and
other enactments designed especially
to improve the conditions Of labor.

ton on injunctions than by specific
endorsement Of Mr.. Taftss Cincinnati

Iinnesot s Great Fair.

~ ia
n making your plans for the next
month you can hardly afford to
overlook the fact that the Minnesota
state fair, the greatest show Of its
kind on the continent. will take.
place at Hamline Aug 81 to Sept. s..
and that it will be bigger and better
than ever before.
There is no need Of exaggeration5
in describing the Minnesota state
fair. It is a credit to the North
Star state that it should have the
best state fair in the country, and
this fact is generally conceded. But
one other agricultu fair in America
even approaches it, and that is the
Toronto show, which it is necessary
to assign to second place.
! The fair is truly representative of
1.-THE whole state, Of all its people, of
i.all its industries and Of all its
resources. It has always been that,
1blt this year, under the initiative of
&. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it
xviii be bigger and more entertain
| ing exhibit than it has ever been
before. Because this is the semi
centennial of statehood special effort
has been made, and the result is
certain to be truly marvellous
exposition of Minnesota's vast
wealth and progress.
The state fair has always had the
liberal support of the people of
Minnesota, and this will furnish no
exception to the rule. 1t deserves
popular support, but state pride
alone would not provide it; its sup
port comes because it is worth
patronizing, and because it is not
only instructive but vastly enter
tanning.

Captain Hains and Brother Appear in
Court.
New York, Aug. 18.--Captain Peter
g. Hams, Jr., u. S. A., who shot and
killed William 3. Annis on Saturday
at the Bayside Yacht club, was ar
raigned in the First district court in
Long Island City before Magistrate
Matthew j. Smith. Arraigned with
the captain was his brother, T. Jen-
kins Hams, who kept back the crowd
with a revolver while his brother car
ried out his vengeance on the man
who, he asserted, had ruined his home.
In court the brothers showed little
concern over their predicament. AS
counsel for the men had not arrived
the hearing was postponed and in the
meantime the Hams brothers are be-
ing kept in the Queens county JAIL
T. jenkins Hams, who was first held
on a charge of attempted felonious
assault, was later charged with being
an accessory to the killing of Annis.
Before the arraignment Harvey G..
Rockwell, who had been close friend
of William Annis, the slain man,
turned over to the district attorney of
Queens county a package of letters
received recently by Annis, in which
he was warned that his life was in
danger. It was said that the last let
ter he received cautioned him against
visiting the Bayside Yacht club on
Saturday. .,s.

Chicago Federation of Labor Endorses
Democratic Ticket

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The Chicago
Federation of Labor placed its seal of
approval on the political policy of
President Gompers and the executive
council of the national labor body.
Before this was done, however, Pres
hent Gomrers and his political pro-
gramme were subjected to series of
sever jolts, indicating that labor is by
no means united on the proposition of
supporting Bryan and the Democratic
ticket.

Are Closely Guarded by the Militia
Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1S.-The race
war which began here last Friday
night is believed to be thing of the
past. Sporadic cases of disorderly
conduct may and probably will claim
the attention of the militia, but it is
not anticipated that the troops will be
confronted by any serious task. Il
Troops A, G, D, and I of the First
cavalry have arrived from Chicago on
a special train. They brought with
them 100 horses and full camp equip
ment. The troops and wagons are
what Adjutant General Scott calls his
"Shafter cavalry" It is declared sol
diers in sufficient numbers to handle
any situation can be rushed to any
part of the city in time to prevent
serious damage to property.
Springfield has entered upon the
second stage of riot history-the in
vestigation of outrages and the arrest
of the guilty. A special grand jury
was summoned by Judge James A.
Creighton of the Sangamon county
circuit count as the result of con-
ference between Governor Charles s.
Deneen and State Attorney Frank
Hatch. Both of these officials were Of
the opinion that this step should be-
taken
The grand jury will be held in SEES

threatened. Evidence will be submit

Evidence duplicates Many.
A large amount of evidence impli-
eating many citizens of this city has
been obtained during the rioting and
this will be submitted to the grand
jury. Suspects have been arrested
each day during the reign of terror
and will be held awaiting the DELHI
erations of the official body.
The confidence of General Young
that his force is sufficient to render
abortive any attempt at mob violence
Is fully shared by the negroes. Many
more of them from the residence dis
tricts Of the city came to the arsenal,
swelling the number now being shell
tered by the state to 400. None Of
them have left the place since they
entered. It is feared that their very
presence would ineite riot and they

For a Stock Law.

Frank Phillips, residing on Route 1, is probably the most enthusiastic advocate of a stock law in the country, but he says he does not stand alone by any means in wanting people to keep up their stock.
 He says he believes that two out of three farmers of his neigh borhood would sign petition asking the legislature to pass such a law.
 Representative elect Granger had the matter of a county stock law presented to him several times on the campaign, and while he would like to favor such g law, he believes it impracticable on account of the sparcely settled sections being able to make good use of grazing lands. He says that he believes that the matter will be best handled in the form of local option, leaving it's adopt ion or reje otion to the votes of the various townships.
