REPUBLICAN PARTY
RESPONSIBLE

Why were these known abuses"
permitted to develop? Why have they
not been corrected? If existing laws
are sufficient, why have they not been
enforced All of the executive mach
inery of the federal government is in
the hands of the republican party.
Are new laws necessary? Why have
they not been enacted? With a re-
publican president to recommend,
with republican senate and house to
carry out his recommendations, why
does not the republican candidate
plead for further time in which to dc
what should have been done long
ago? Can Mr.. Taft promise to be
more strenuous in the prosecution OF
wrong-doers than the present execu
tive? Can he ask for larger major
ity in the senate than his party now
has? Does he need more republi
cans in the house of representative
or a speaker with more unlimited au
thority?

apparent that they have banded to

endeavor is to overthrow and discredii

REPUBLICAN CHALLENGE Ac-
cEPTED-

The distinguished statesman who
received the Republican nomination
for President said, in his notification
speech: THE strength of the Repub-
lican cause in this campaign at hand
is the fact that we represent the poll
cies essential to the reform of known
abuses, to the continuance of liberty
and true prosperity, and that we are
determined, as our platform unequiv-
ocally declares, to maintain them and
carry them on"
In the name of the Democratic par
ty, accept the challenge, and charge
that the Republican party is response
BILE for all the abuses which now exist
in federal government, and that it is
impotent to accomplish the reforms
which are imperatively needed. Fur
Their, can not concur in the statement
that the Republican platform unequiv-
ocally declares for the reforms that
are necessary; on the contrary, l af-
firm that it openly and VIGOROUSLY dis
appoints the hopes and expectations
of reformers, whether those reformers
be Republicans or Democrats. So far
did the republican convention fall
short of it's duty that the Republican
candidate felt it necessary to add to
his platform in several important par.
ticulars, thus rebuking the leaders OF
the party, upon whose cooperation he
must rely for the enactment of rene
dial legislation.
| As l shall, in separate speeches, dis.
cuss the leading questions at issue
shall at this time confine myself to
the paramount question, and to the
far-reaching purpose of our party, as
that purpose is set forth in the plat
form.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-08-12
SHALL THE PEOPLE RULER

Our platform declares that the over
shadowing issue which manifests it.
self in all the questions now under dis
cussion, is Shall the people ruler
No matter which way we turn; no
matter to what subject we address
ourselves, the same question COM
fronts us: Shall the people control
their own government, and use that
government for the protection of their
right, and for the promotion of their
welfare? or shall the representatives
OF pedatory wealth prey upon de.
fenseless public while the offenders
secure immunity from subservient off
Gals whom they raise to power by un
scrupulous methods? This is the is
sue raised by the known abuses" tc
which Mr.. Taft refers.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-08-12
A PLATFORM is BINDING

l shall, in the near future, prepare a
more formal reply to your notification,
and, in that letter of acceptance, will
deal with the platform in detail. 1t is
sufficient at this time, to assure you
that l am in hearty accord with both
the letter and the spirit of the plat
form. l endorse it in whole and in
part, and shall, if elected. regard its
declarations as binding upon me. And
I may add, a platform is binding as to
what it omits as well as to what it con-
tains. According to the Democratic
idea, the people think for themselves
and select officials to carry out their
wishes. The voters are the SOW.
ereigns; the officials are the servants
employed for fixed time and at a
stated salary to do what the SOY.
ereigns want done, and to do it in the
way the sovereigns want it done. Plat
forms are entirely in harmony with
this Democratic idea. A platform an
nounces the party's position on the
questions which are at issue; and an
official is not at liberty to use the au
thority vested in him to urge personal
views which have not been submitted
to the voters for their approval. Il
one is nominated upon a platform

Mr.. TAFT ENDORSES
THE INDICTMENT.

Mr.. Taft says that these evils have
crept in during the last ten years.
He declares that, during this time,
some prominent and influential men,
bers of the community, spurred by
financial success and in their hurry
for greater wealth, became unmind-
full of the common rules of business
honesty and fidelity, and OF the limita-
lions imposed by law upon their ac-
TONS" and that "the revelations of
the breaches of trusts, the disclosures
as to rebates and determinations
by railroads the accommodating evil
dence of the violations of the antitrust
laws, by a number of corporations,
and the over-issue of stocks and bonds
of interstate railroads for the unlaw-
full enriching of directors and for the
purpose of concentrating the control of
the railroads under one management
all these he charges, '"quickened the
conscience of the people and brought
on moral awakening.
During all this time. beg to re.
mind you, republican officials presid
ed in the executive department, filled
the cabinet, dominated the senate

and occupied most of the federal judge

of the federal government: that fol
two years only was the democratic

publican party accept the responsible

which is not satisfactory to him, he
must, if candid, either decline the
nomination, or. in accepting it, propose
an amended platform in lieu of the
one adopted by the convention. No
such condition, however, confronts
your candidate, for the platform upon
which l was nominated not only con-
tains nothing from which dissent, but
it specifically outlines all the RENE
dial legislation which we can hope to
secure during the next four years.

WHY NO TARIFF REFORM?

The presidents close friends have
been promising for several years that
he would attack the iniquities of the
tariff. We have had intimation that
Mr.. Taft was FESTIVE under the de-
mands of the highly protected indus
tries. And yet the influence of the
manufacturers, who have for twenty
five years contributed, to the repub.
lican campaign fund, and who in re.
turn have framed the tariff schedules
has been sufficient to prevent tariff
reform. As the present campaign ap.
preached, both the president and Mr.
Taft declared in favor of tariff reyis.

the election. But the pressure brought
to bear by the protected Interests has
been great enough to preyent any at

the election is so hedged about witt
qualifying phrases. that no ono can es

The most disguised man in Geor-

Driver, vice-president of a big Chi
csgo tent company, who went to
West Point to sell a $50, 900 circus
outfit to a man with whom he had
an extensive correspondence COW
ering the same. He found on his
arrival at West Point that his
would-be customer was a negro
school BOY, - years old, who could
not buy a ticket to a circus, to say
nothing of the outfit, and the Chi
cage man caught the first train
out of that town. What he said
