Thinas Bryan Would Forget.

The most important because the
most curiously novel, feature of Mr..
Bryan's address is his apotheosis of
the party platform. A new doctrine of
infallibility is embodied in these SEN
fences at the very beginning Of Mr..
Bryan's speech:
A platform is binding as to what 1t
omits as well as to what 1t contains.
A platform announces a party's posi-
ton on the questions which are at is
sue and an official is not at liberty to
use the authority vested i'll him to urge
personal views which have not been
submitted to the voters for their ap
prevail
1t is natural that Mr.. Bryan should
disavow certain omitted issues" such
as free silver, government ownership
of railroads, the initiative and referen
DUN, attacks upon the courts and 9TH
er theories which at times he sanction
ed overhastily in the past. But he is
unfortunate in his manner of express
ing that disavoWal.
\ party platform is not political
holy writ. The American people
choose for president a man, not a
clerk. to carry out the orders of CON
vention committee. A platform is not
prophetic code Of conduct. but a
summary of basic principles. to be al
tered, amended or enlarged according
to the country's needs.-Philadelp

Union Labor Vote.

Hon. William H. Buchanan is one of
the leading union men of western New
York and in 1907 was the Democratic
candidate for assemblyman in Chau-
tauqua county. This is what he has to
say of the effort of Mr.. Gompers to
turn the labor vote over to Mr.. Bryan:
Il am union labor man, and l want
to say further that no man can carry
the labor vote into the Democratic
camp. l know how union labor men
feel in this city. and three-fourths of
them will stand by the Republican
party because only in that way have
they the assurance of freedom from
the business disturbance that Mr.. Bry-
an promises for at least four years if
he can be elected. We workingmen

Campaign Funds.

1--WE welcome Mr.. Taft to this ad
vanced ground" said Mr.. Bryan in one
of his numerous interviews since the
Denver convention. The ground refer
red to is Mr. Taft's statement that no
campaign contributions would be re-
ceived from corporations. Mr.. Bryan
intended to convey the impression that
Mr.. Taft had come to that determine
ton after the Denver convention. In
that the Democratic peerless one" is
not honest. Mr.. Taft is law abiding
citizen. Such contributions are unlaw-
full, made so by a law passed by Re
publican congress at the instance Of a
Republican administration of which
Judge Taft was part six months be-
fore the Denver convention. Be hon

not crime committed by the Repub,

Same Old Story.

Taft talked straight talk" to his
countrymen about every issue that en-
crosses the thoughts of Americans to-
day. Bryan promises a series of post
scripts to dispose of tariff, railroads,
currency, trusts and everything else of
real Importance. And then he engages
in one of his melancholy searches after
a paramount issue" and finds 1t in
the rhetorical. fustian and ttnsel plati-
tude. "Shall the people rule?
1t is the old, old story. The garb of
the conservative does not sit well upon
the born Crusader. Mr.. Bryan has put
forth tactful, smoothly phrased bun
die Of generalities, and he has done so
at the very moment when the mental
appetite of the whole people Is sharp
ened for strong meat and not wind
pudding.
With a score Of honestly disputed
and important questions open, he
chooses deliberately to selecr as the
chief issue of the campaign a query to
which there is absolutely no negative

people always have ruled and always
will rule.-Philadelphia North Ameri-

Us say that Mr.. Taft is not a Roman

thought outside the pale of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from our country's fundamental law,
mo religious test ever shall be re-
quired as a qualification to any office
or public trust under the United

The numerous queries about Mr..
Taft's religious belief show simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
to rouse some prejudice against him.

"Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
