culprit was arrested and placed in

Republican Challenge Accepted.

The distinguished statesman who re-
ceived the Republican nomination for
president said, in his notification speech:
1.-THE strength OF the Republican cause
In the campaign at hand is the fact that
we represent the policies essential to the
reform of known abuses, to the contin-
uance OF liberty and true prosperity, and
that we are determined, as our plat
form unequivocally declares, to maintain
them and carry them on
In the name of the Democratic party,
/ accept the challenge. and charge that
the Republican party is responsible for
all the abuses which now exist in the
federal government, and that 1t Is impo-
tent to- accomplish the reforms which
are imperatively needed. Further, l can
not concur in the statement that the Re-
publican platform unequivocally declares
for the reforms that are necessary: on
the contrary. affirm that it openly and
VIGOROUSLY dfsappoints the hopes and ex-
pectations of reformers, whether those
reformers be Republicans or Democrats
Soy far did the Republican convention
fall short of its duty that the Republi-
can candidate felt 1t 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 remedial legis-
lation.
AS shall, in separate speeches, discuss
the leading questions at issue, l shall at
this time confine myself to the paramount
question, and to the far-reaching pur-
pose of our party, as that purpose is set
forth in the platform.

A Platform Is Binding.

/ 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
I am in hearty accord with both the let
ter and the spirit of the platform. / in
dorse 1t in whole and in part, and shall,
If elected, regard its declarations bind
ing upon me. And, may add, a plat
form is binding as to what it omits as
well as to what it contains. According
to the Democratic idea, the people think
ry out their wishes. The voters are the
employed for fixed time and at a stated
salary to do what the sovereigns want
done. and to do IL in the way the SOW
ereigns want it done. Platforms are
entirely In harmony with this Democratic
idea. A platform announces the party's
position on questions which are at issue;
and an official is not at liberty to use the
authority vested in him to urge personal
views which have not been submitted to
the voters for their approval. II one Is
nominated upon a platform which is not
satisfactory to him, he must, IL candid,
either decline the nomination, or, in ac-
cepting it, propose an amended platform
in lieu of the one adopted by the con-
vantion. No such situation, however,
confronts your candidate. for the plat
form upon which / was nominated not
only contains nothing from which I dis
sent, but it specifically outlines all the
remedial legislation which we can hope
to secure during the next four years.

Shall the People Ruler

Our platform declares that the over
shadowing issue which manifests itself in
all the questions now under discussion,
is shall the people rule?' No matter
which way We turn; no matter to what
subject we address ourselves. the same
question confronts us: Shall the people
control their own government. and use
that government for the protection II
their rights and for the promotion of
their welfare? or shall the representa-
tives of predatory wealth prey upon e
defenseless public. while the offenders
secure immunity from subservient OH
Gals whom they raise to power by I'M
scrupulous methods? This is the issue
raised by the known abuses to which
Mr.. Taft refers.
