can be carried on is by a system of parties In which the members of the parties sacrifice many of their non- essential views and agree on few great principles.
 Compares Two Parties.
 "Comparing the two parties, first. what experience has each had in gov erning; second, what is 1t that united them together; is it a force that is likely to keep them together in such way as to give them a full sense of responsibility to the people at large in carrying on the government? Are the men whom they select for their lead CTS, statesmen. with a fine sense of governmental propriety and govern mental policy7 Having made that comparison without regard to the par ticular principles which they uphold in the present issue. you can usually make up your minds which party you ought to take. because between each Presidential election, many issues are likely to arise that can not be sub mitted to a party crises are likely to come that cannot be submitted to the rank and file of the people and you have got to take party and trust 1t to work those problems out. That was exhibited in the record of the Re- MlNH TelCEChC6 iO lHC Spanish war. We determined to end the international scandal at our doors. We went into the war in Cuba and we came out in the Philippines, 10000 miles away and we had to decide the issues which were there raised and which were difficult to meet They presented new phases of government that we had never had before, but with William Mckinley at the head, and with your own Elihu Root to aid him as one of the greatest jurists and statesmen this world has ever seen, with the Republican Party behind him, with its solidarity of discipline, with its intelligence and with It's courage, those policies were carried through and they brought credit and glory to the nation, although they were not antic- ipated, they were not asked In national conventions, and they were not con- sidered in national elections before they had to be decided. I am using them to illustrate that one of the great reasons for the selection of a party is its proved efficiency. its prov ed courage, it's proved experience with reference to all issues of government that may arise.
 ~'Now what of the Democratic Par ty? They had power for four years, but the minute they got into power they began to quarrel over what they should do. They passed free trade bill through one house and then in the next house they made 1t a kind of sectional protective bill, and before they got through 1t assumed such a phase that Mir. Cleveland, the leader of the party, for whom we all have the highest respect, pronounced the bill an act of perfidy and dishonor and that broke up the party and they had to divide between free silver and the -1I uGA r. @ah showed then, as they would show now. if you gave them power, that the only cohesiveness that they have Is CO., hesiveness of opposition to tho Repub- lican Party. They lack efficiency, they lack responsibility to the people for carrying on the government as 1t should be carried on and this. my dear friends. without reference to their principles, their acts are even worse."
 Writ of INjuhctiOn.
 At Geneva, where Judge Taft had large audience, composed largely of those interested in labor, he talked a half hour longer than his hours schedule permitted. After giving the history of the writ of injunction to show that 1t was a court process de- vised to prevent the execution of a threatened, injury to property, he had this to say of the attitude of the two parties and of Mir. Bryan. in the mat ter:
 "The Republican Party recognizes that injunctions that are too broad have sometimes been issued in labor disputes. That puts labor at 8 dis- advantage and therefore it ought to be discouraged as much as possible. The party passed resolution requlr- ing the best practice with respect to injunctions, specifying the instances in which tnjunctions shall issue without notice. and offering an opportunity for a statute which shall make in- functions without notice operative for only forty-eight hours or flfty-six hours, and then cease to be operative.
 "Mr. Bryan has not answered the questions put to him by the Presi- dent on the subject and he skips over this part of the platform with an agility and cleverness that prevents you from catching him in any declar- ation that is definite. But what say to you is that as a layman you are able to see that if an injunction should issue to protect property rights 1t should also issue to protect business ri oh
