TAFT SHOWS UP
BRYAN'S RECORD
CAREER OF THE NEBRASKAN
ONE LONG STORY OF ABSOLUTE
FAILURES.


The real activities OF the campaign
have began for William H. Taft, the
Republican Presidential candidate.
Three political addresses were the de-
mands upon him today. Early tomor-
row he will begin his journey OF
speechmaking through the West.
Not since the candidate was notified
officially of his nomination has the
city of Cincinnati been so thoroughly
awake politically as tonight, when
marching clubs from Indianapolis, Co
lumbus, Hamilton and other places
lent the blaze of torch and the blare
of trumpet as an escort to the candi-
date, who was the principal feature or
the rally of the National League or
Republican Clubs at Music Hall.
At noon Taft addressed the delegates
to the National Convention OF Negro
Baptists, who had come here from
Lexington, KY, for the purpose.
1t was tonight, however, that Taft
made his strongest effort. After re-
party as one of action and future re-
liability, he depicted his idea of the
Democratic policy of promise" and
then devoted himself to an analysis OF
Bryan. He said:
What is it that we have to expect
from Mr.. Bryan? Have we anything
to expect but what he promises? Have
we anything to expect but what is
based upon his eloquence. and his
adroitness as public critic? Has he
ever given any practical demonstra-
ton Of his ability to meet problems
and solve them? Has he ever done
anything but formulate propositions
in his closet of an utterly Impractical
bic character, largely with a view or
attracting votes by their plausibility
and very little with a view to their
operation? BY their fruits we shall
know them What is the history of
Mr.. Bryan? It is from beginning to
end record of failures on public
question.
And now, with the record of prom
ises and prophecies unfultilled, for a
period of twelve years, with this rec
ord of hunt for an issue upon which
to achieve the Presidency; with this
record of reputation, of negation and
OF running away from national res
possibilities, Mr. Bryan comes forward
and asks that the people now give him
an opportunity to put into operation
new reforms in respect to trusts and
IN respect to guaranty of bank depo-
Sits wholly untried, wholly theoreti-
cal, and on their face bearing evidence
or their impracticability and of hav-

rather than real reforms.

which is a tried and proved means OF

out being vulgar:
III Both sides agree that:
tA) Mr. Il had long been friend of the family
'tH) Mr. h. had always taken an interest in
Emma.
III The special issues then become:
"tA) Was Emma justified in MARRYING Mr. X In
that she would not have to leave her father
"(H) Was Mr. X the best person in Highbury for
her to marry?'
