Columbus. o., Aug. 29-W. II. Taft
today went through the state of Ohio,
leaving behind him a trail of speeches
that doubtless will surprise his cam
paign managers who expected his trip
from Virginia Hot Springs to the
Middle Pass Fishing club would be
devoid of politics, but at Athens, after
delivering the speech he had prepared
for the veterans, and which had no
politics in it, Mr.. Taft was whirled
away to the Taft club where he spoke
for forty minutes.
There is only one brief way to
deal with the story which was eircu-
lated that | have said that a dollar
u day was enough for any laboring
man." declared Judge Taft. Its a
lie"
Tht speaker came down on both
heels emphatically
Judge Taft then defended his judi
cial decisions in labor cases with the
statement that when acting as a Judge
he endeavored to render judgment in
accordance with the law and the facts
and | have no apologies to make"
In this connection Mr.. Taft said he
would be willing to receive Judgment
of any men who would read the rec
ords in these cases and the resultant
decisions he had rendered.
He expresse his approval of labor
organizations and dissected the labor
plank OF the democrats with the con-
clusion that II enforced, it would be
a weakening of the powers of the
courts and result IN loss 20 the rights
of labor.
Political demands on Mr.. Taft be-
gan before a. m. at Charleston, w.
Va, and continued in all the towns
and cities he passed through, includ-
ing Toledo. which was reached short
ly before IL o'clock tonight
He spoke briefly at Columbus to the
gathered crowd, headed by the Buck.
eye club and the Columbus ,Glee club
and responded with the Taft smile to
the enthusiasm of Toledo.
Mr.. Taft admitted that the day had
demonstrated that the campaign was
on and added that he was not sorry.
Mr.. Vorys, who joined Mr.. Taft this
morning and was with him through
the day regards the utterances of the
candidates as pitching the tone of the
campaign and demonstrating the can

contest
In his address to the Taft club at
Athens, which is regarded as the i'm
portant political utterance OF the day.
Mr.. Taft said in part;
I'VE are in for a four years cam
paign. The question Is whether the
mandate of power shall be given again
to the republican party or shall 1t
be turned over TO the demOt attic
parry; to the republican party now
led by Theodore Roosevelt, as pest
dent of the United States, or to the
democratic party, led by Mr. Bryan,
who twice before has been a candi-
date OF that party before the people
of the United States?"
Mr.. Taft here enumerated the prob
lens of the government beginning
with the Spanish war, the Philippine
question, the Panama canal, Cuba, the
irrigation of arid lands, the reclama-
ton of lands, "and yet" he said, Il
ask you whether there is a single
stain upon the escutcheon of the re-
publican party under Theodore Roose-
Welt in meeting all these new prob
lens Not only that, but In respec,
to our foreign affairs, never in the
history of the nation has the standing
OF the United States before the na-
tions of the world been higher than
II Is today.
