ORGANIZED
LABOR FOR TAFT
All That the Law Abiding Wage arnsr
Asks For is a Square Deal, and Hsis
Sure o. It From President Taft.

Organized labor has declared itself
for Taft and Sherman and for Impair
tial enforcement Of and loyal ODE
dience to law. "There is no doubt
that the railroad employees Of the
East will support Judge Taft united
"" said BENJAMIN e. Chaplin, OF
New York, OF the Order OF Railway
Conductors.
They believe in him. The great
railroad brotherhoods are unalter-
ably opposed to Mr.. Bryan's personal
views on government ownership OF
railroads. and our men are with
Judge Taft in his opposition to that
theory.
I'VE believe furthermore, that
Judge Taft was right in his injunc-
ton record. The principles he laid
down in his decisions have been in
corporated in the constitution Of the
Order Of Locomotive Engineers and
In the constitutions of all the other
large railroad train serving organi-
zations.n
Mr.. Chaplin who, with other well
known and estimable leaders Of union
labor; F. F. vickery, also Of the Or
der of Railway Conductors; j. s.
ASASEAASyt vi tAS 4SAAbylNdutu Elul--
ployers' Association; A. r. Stack
house, of the Order Of Railroad Con-
ductors on the Lackawanna Railroad,
and J. F. Conway, chairman Of the
legislative board Of the Order Of Lo-
connective Engineers. boarded Mr..
Taft's train and assured him of the
support Of the organizations they rep
resented. undoubtedly voiced the
judgment Of skilled and intelligent
union labor throughout the United
States.
The great mass of union labor is
with Mr.. Taft because its members
recognize him as capable and Impair
tial in his administration Of the law,
because they feel that he is in genu-
inc sympathy with labor, and because
they know that Nj. Taft means ex-
actly what he says, and will do just
what he says he will do. All that
law abiding, self respecting labor
asks for is square deal within the
law and according to law, and that It
Is certain to get at the hands of Pres
ident Taft.

familiar with his political views, say
that he has admired Judge Taft and
has the highest admiration for the
candidates ability and determines
ton to do what is right at all cost.
They think that admiration for Taft
caused him to swing from the Demo-
cratic to the Republican party.

GRATITUDE OF RELIGIOUS
sEcTs TO TAFT

John R. Mott, secretary Of the In
ternational Committee OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, stanch
Methodist and a worker who, by his
energy and ability, has accomplished
wonders for his association in many
parts of the world, praised highly
to-day the aid which Judge Taft gave
to religious organizations in the
Philippines. He was aided greatly,
he said, by letter Of Introduction
which Taft, as Secretary of War, gave
him when he went to the Philippines
to raise money with which to help
IN constructing Y. M. G. A. building
in Manila. The committee furnished
more than 100000, while Manila
citizens gave $4,000.
1T is difficult to exaggerate," said
Mr.. Mott, 1.-The Importance of the ser
vice rendered by Judge Taft to the
Y. M. @. A. and to the cause of Chris
tan missions in the Far East. His
fatr-mindedness and his generous
sympathy have won the hearts and
minds of all persons, of all religions
or no religion, who know what he has
accomplished there.
Anyone who may, like myself,
have questioned the wisdom Of the
United States continuing to occupy
the Philippine Islands, would most
certainly entertain an entirely diff
ferent opinion were he to visit these
islands to-day and note the changes
which have been wrought as direct
result of American occupation and
achievement. Within less than ten
years there has been built up stable
goyernment-insular, provincial and
municipal. A body of laws has been
enacted which challenges favorable
comparison with the statutes of any
country. Ladronism, the curse Of the
islands, has been suppressed, and
peace, order and justice prevail.
Sanitary regulations have been in
troduced and enforced to such an ex-
tent that Manila bids fair soon to be-
come the most healthful city in the
tropics, Notwithstanding its unfav-
orable location. Millions Of dollars
nave boon invested In substantial ma
terial improvements, especially in
Manila. Improved postal and tele-
graphic communication have been in
troduced, and railway and govern
ment read extension Is in progress.
AS a result of the marvellous educa-
ttonal developments involving the nc
tivittes of nearly one THOUSAND Amer
lean teachers, we are nov educating
fully 100000 of the youth of the ISL
ands, and even more remarkable than
this has been the raising up and
training of over 5000 Filipino teach
ers. The Tagalogs. visayans, noca-
nos and the many other tribes and
peoples scattered throughout over
1900 islands are being unified and
are developing the consciousness of
community Of race and the latent
sense Of nationality. The dominant
impression made in the mind of any
one who has visited different Colonial
possessions is that in the Philippines
the altruistic motive has thus far
had right of way, and that work
has been accomplished of which we
need not be ashamed. The ideal EN-
phasized by Mckinley, Roosevelt,
Root. Schurman. and especially Judge
Taft, that our purpose in the Phil
ippines is not to exploit them, but to
develop. civilize. educate and train
on unselfish lines. has been kept in
mind and Is still the great motive
power"
