LIKE TAFT's STAND.
Labor Editor Declares It Will Suit
Workingmen In General.

Hot Springs. Aug. 5.-Mr. Taft has
given out for publication with evident
glee a letter from Ben Chaplin, editor
of the Railroad Employee, publication
issued at Newark in the interests OF
railroad men, in which he sounds high
praises for Taft's treatment of the
labor question in his speech of accep-
lance.
The letter declares that Taft's stand
on this question will meet the approx
al of workingmen in general, but OF
railroad employees in particular, who
will intelligently recognize that while
labor is entitled TO it's just share of en-
coura cement and protection under the
laws of our common country, it on
the other hand has no right to demand
legislation for itself that it would deny
TO capital"

gave a hearing in the South Carolina
cOnteS.ed election cases of Dautzler
against Lever and Myers against Pat

The contestants were represented
by counsel who maintained that con-
stitltsiOn of South Carolina, promu1-
gated in 1895, was itself unconstitu-
tional because in conflict with the re-
construction act Of 1868 re-admitting
South Carolina to representation in
congress-. They advanced the further
argument that every one entitled to
vote under the constitution of 1868
vas entitled to vote now and that be-
ing deprived of that privilege the
election of Messrs Lever and Patter-
son were invalid.
In the case f Aaron Proleau, who
is contesting the seat of Mr.. Legare,

both sides agreed TO rest on the briefs
filed by them.
