TAF1's VISIT TO NORTH CAROLINA.
His Statement Of His Purpose as Much Of
Reflection on the State as his Green's
boro Speech Was on His PARTY.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 18th TIL
reason given by Mr.. Taft for hi
visit tc North Carolina and othel
Southern States is as much of {
reflection on the State as a Who'll.
as his speech in Greensboro to thu
Republican State Convention il
1896 was to his party in this state
He is reported in the New York
Tribune of last Sunday as follows
IT am going South to make q
few speeches-one In Kentucky,
one in Tennessee, mi in North
Carolina, one in Virginia, and
one in Maryland-not so much
with a view to carrying those
states as to show the people down
there that, no matter what they
think they are a part of the un-
ion, and, being a part of the I'm
ion, they ought to vote for the
Republican party, voting for
which will make them a part of
the Union, and give to them that
influence which people of their
intelligence and energy and pro.
gress and enterprise ought to en-
joy"
This is nothing less than a
charge that while the South is
bodily a part of the Union that
it's thought is not loyal to the
Union, and that the only means
by which the South can establish
its loyalty and become a part of
the nation is by allying itself with
the Republican party, of which
Mr.. Taft said, in speaking to the
representatives of that party, as
sembled in convention in Green's
boro just two years ago:
SIN my judgment the Republi-
can party in North Carolina would
be much stronger as a voting
party if all the Federal Offices
we're filled by Democrats" (All
the State Offices were filled by
Democrats.) And again: "As
long, however, as the Republican
party in the Southern States shall
represent little save a factional
chase for Federal Offices in which
business men and men of SUBJ
stance in the community haze no
desire to enter, and in the result
of which they have no interest,
we may expect the present politi-
cal conditions of the South to con-
tinue."
Mr.. Taft's surprising statement
can be accounted for on no other
theory than his propensity for
making breaks. North Carolina's
loyalty to the Union, in thought
and sentiment as we'll IS in fact,
will not be questioned by any one
but Judge Taft or Judge Mont:
gomery, and for the simple sake
of convincing them it will NO
more ally itself with Judge
Taft's unfit North Carolina Fed.
eral Office Seekers" than it will
support Judge Taft lin his party's
alliance with the trusts and pro-
tected interests upon which he
relies to purchase his election to
the presidency.

was taken to mean that the Presi-

The way was left open to him by
guarded announcement from the

the invitation had been declined for
the President, without reference to
him, Secretary Loeb knowing that

no invitations of the kind"

The Republican policies are with

ceals their plans. The awakened con-
science of an aroused people calls
out Let there be light
What evils are marshaled behind
the Republican ticket? What debts
are being contracted? What mortg-
ages are being given? Let there be
light.
The Democratic committee has
set the example. For the first time
in our national history, a national
committee has taken the nation into
it's confidence and rive forth list of
it's contributors. This is in the inter-
est of honest politics and honest gov
ernment. 1t opens a new era. Will
the Republicans dare to defy uni
versal sentiment and maintain the
secrecy that has given predatory
wealth its hold upon the govern
ment?
sThe Republican national conven-
tion deliberately voted down plank
pledging publicity and the Republi-
can candidate insists the contribu-
tions should not be made known un-
til after election.

tors by the people and this is in the
interest of honest government. Let
daylight and not behind closed doors

fluences can cheat the people out OF
representation.
1.-THE public demands light on the
tariff question. The Republican plat
form deals in generalities. The lam
guage employed may mean anything
or nothing and the speeches of their
candidates intensifies the gloom that
the convention threw over the states.
What does the Republican party
intend to do with the trusts? Let its
plans be stated Let it's remedies be
made known. Let there be light on
this question also We have seen one
of the greatest of the trusts obtain
ing legislative permission to absorb
"a rival. Is this to be continued as
settled policy of the Republican par
ty? 1t is not sufficient to find fault
with Democratic remedies. What is
the Republican remedy? The people
are entitled to know.
What is the Republican party go
ing to do on the labor question?
Here again, there is need of light.
The Republican party claims to be
the friend of labor. Let it define the
friendship that it intends to show.
If it is going to oppose needed labor
legislation, let it boldly declare 1T
and not betray the toler with kiss"
Mr. Bryan touched on the Philip
pine question as well as the recent
panic, asking what the Republican
party was going to do to restore
confidence along these lines.
