TAFT DELIVERS
FINAL MESSAGE
Speaks to Three Crowds at Younqs-
Town and Reviews Lengthy
Parade.

Youngstown, o., Nov 3.-"vote the
Republican ticket and preserve prUs-
reriiy, protection to American indus
tries, business integrity and the
rights Of labor" T1is was the mes
sage with which Mr. Taft finished his
fight fer TIE presidency.
Three speeches were required OF
the candidate-at the Park theate.,
the Grand opera house and in the
public square. Preceding these the
candidate reviewed a parade wnicn
was miles in length and was COM
posed of thousands Of uniformed
marchers.
The last day Of the campaign for
tfe candidate was remarkable in that
there was an increase rather than q
diminishing of the crowds and enthu-
ssasm wherever he went. Beginning
his work at Dunkirk, N. Y, he adj
dressed big crowds at Westfield, "
Y, Erie, Pa. Ashtabula, CARROTS
vile, Cleveland and Youngstown. The
Cleveland meeting was a monster sf.
fair and was preceded by a parade
Of many marching clubs, which was
reviewed by the candidate by passing
through the lines in an automci,He
with Mrs. Taft, who joined him Is
Buffalo.
The meeting In the Cleveland ar
mory was presided over by A. L
Faulkner, president of the national
order of windowglass workers. Judge
Taft's speech here was a repetition
should be no change in the policies
of government a applied by the pres
ent administration, in addition to
whichhe took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to emphasize, as he mad done
throughout the day, that notwith-
standing the opposition to him and
the Republican party, Samuel Com
pers, if elected, he will maintain his
great sympathy for and interest in
the welfare of organized and unor-
ganized labor, which he maintains
his previous record sustains.
In this connection it was made
known that Representative Burton
had information from Daniel Kee:s.
president Of longshoremen's union,
that the telegram published from
John Mitchell to Samuel Gompers IN
which Mr.. Mitchell declares himself
in sympathy and accord with the pol
icy Of the American Federation Of
Labor, is garbled, inasmuch az it
leaves out two important worcs,
these words being "nonpartisan polit-
ical." The text Of the telegram az IL
should have been published was read,
as follows:

BRYAN CLOSES
HIS CAMP A|GN
Spends Busy Day in State of Kansas
and Talks of His Am
billions.


MarysVille, Kan, Nov. WiSian
Jennings BRYAN concluded his cam
paign Ct the state Of Kansas and of
the United States before enthusiast
tic audience at this Place. 1t was the
last political speech. his add 'ess at
Lincoln being nonpartisan,' and sim
ply talk from a neig1Dor to, his
neighbors.
Mr.. Bryan realized it was the con-
GLIDING political speech Of the cam
paign, and lis last words were given
with more than ordinary feeling His
peroration was delivered with all the
earnestness at his command. and as
he declared that he had given an i'm.
pulse to honest politics and helped to
create sentiment in favor OF reform.
he was wildly applauded by. the large
audience. In concluding he spoke in
part as follows:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-I am now
4S years old. 1t is Is years since |
began my political career as a candi-
date for congress. / told the people
OF my district that, If elected, would
not try to get their hands into other
peoples pockets; that l would simply
try to keep other peoples hands out
OF their pockets. For 10 years this
thought has run through every
speech and act. l have tried to apply
to government the Jeffersonian max
i'm Of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none / have tried to
help make this government q govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people.
What spectacle the Republican
camrsign presents at its close, the
Republican candidate trying to repu-
date the support of the trust mag
mates, who are coming out from IN
der coverand announcing their loyalt ?
to him, and at the same time trying
to claim the support CT labor leaders
like Mitchell and Duncan and Morris,
who are openly repudiating them.
Surely the hour has come for re-
turn of the government to the hands
OF the people. Let the. people rule"
II was notable day for Mr. Bryan
in Kansas. Commencing at Kansas
City, Kan, he talked in towns and
cities not unfamiliar to him, for he
has campaigned in this section many
times before; but his audiences were
greater than ever before during his
campaigns, not excepting 1896, when
he carried the state by large plural
ity. In every speech he delivered he
referred to the effort Of the president
and of Mr.. Taft to deny the support
of Mr.. Rockefeller and the trust mag
mates. and quoted from fec smile
confidential letter issued by the
Standard Oil company and ordering
the employees of its New York office
to march In the parade held in that
city last Saturday night, and publish
ed in a New York paper.

THE BREWERS CHAPLAIN
Some Facts About the Long Island Tipping
Parson Who Swells Large at Liquor
Dealers Conventions

RvERHEAD, N. Y, February 7-(Specal CORE
spondence) -Whle the country at large is mod
erately entertained and more or less interested
by the spectacular exhibit made of himself by the
Rev. William A. Wasson who is going up and
down speaking at gatherings of liquor dealers
and giving them churchly sanction for their bust
ness, while he denounces the whole Prohibition
movement with fervor and huency that Bishop
Potter never surpassed, this little town, from
which Mr.. WATSON halls, is in a state some
where between disgust and indignation.
William A. WATSON is rector of the small
Episcopal church in this place 1t can probably
be said without any straning of the truth, that
he is of the least influential men in the
village His church is not of sufficient promi-
nence to give him much influence as its rector,
while his of conduct has been such that
even a large part of his own church people are
wholly out of sympathy with him.
Perhaps it will help the reader to a better I'M
derstandng of the case to say, at the outset that
Mr.. WATSON, while in most respects very re-
spectacle, we'll behaved man, is commonly known
not only to drink, but to drink publicly in the
Saloons and to treat and be treated in the sa-
looms. However much this may be commended
as protest against the Hypocrisy" against
conventions of liquor dealers, it need hardly be
said that it has not tended to give the gentleman,
a good reputation in this town, nor to add to
his influence among his fellow citizens.
People here very much interested in the
representations which Mr. WATSON makes con-
corning the results of no-license in Riverhead
1t will be only fair to say that, even were it
proved that the results of the no-license policy
in this village were bad it would not be perfectly
fair to assume that the principle and policy of
Prohibition against which Mr.. Wassen de-
claims, are therefore bad. But these are the
facts: Riverhead is one of those numerous
towns of New York state where the local option
question perpetually proves too local and too
optional" The good people are indignant against
the saloon; they rise and vote it out but by trick
and fraud the intent which they had in their ac-
ton is thwarted, and after time the saloons are
voted back again.
Rlverhead under the license policy from
1899 to 1901. 1t was under the no-cense policy
from 1901 to 1908 1t was again under license
from 1908 to 1905, then under no-license from
1905 to 1907. In spite of all defects it is con-
coded by all fair judges every hand that
there less drinking and less intoxication
during all these no-license years than during the
license years. But the no-license policy lacked
much of being fully successful One of the rea-
sons for this was the fact that two of the most
prominent liquor dealers in the village Omen
who belonged to the class that now are so anx-
ious to pose as respectable citizens, to reform
the saloon business in harmony with law and
public sentiment), erected buildings just across

THE GREATEST PARTY

Frances E. Willard at the Indianapolis ConOefi-
t0n, 1883.
Here, side by side, sit the Blue and Gray. No
other than the Prohibition party ever dared to
be so great as to ordain a scene like this
What circle we have here! Sweep the COM
passes of thought through its circumference Pro-
hibition, first of ALL the fixed point whence we
calculate all others. The Blue and the Gray, the
workmen, the women. Enclosed and shielded by
this circle is the home-that goes without saying;
and beyond its shining curve is the saloon, out
matched out-witted, and out-voted, which, in
republic, is best of all. For the fiat of the great
est party has gone forth, and we are here simply
to set seals to it. No saloon in politics or
law, no sectionalism in law politics, no sex in
citizenship, but liberty, equality, fraternity in pol
tics and law and for evermore.
The women who uniformed their sons in south
gray and said, like the Spartan mother of
old, Come We as conquerors, we no
more" are here tonight with those other women
who beted northern swords upon their boys in
blue, with words as pitiful as brave The women
who embroidered Stars and Stripes upon the
blessed flag that symbolized their love and faith
today have only gentle words for those who
decked their "Bonny Flag of Stars and Bars
with tenderness as true and faith as fervent
The greatest party seats these women side by
side tonight and we all wear our snowy badge
of peace above the hearts that hate no more,
while clasp hands in a compact never to be
broken, and solemnly declare, before high Heav-
en-, our equal hatred of the rum power and our
equal loyalty to God and home and native land
Fellow soldiers in the fight for clear brain, l
am proud to belong to army which makes
kindred of those who once stood in arms against
each other. Let us cherish North Cardinals
motto from Isaiah's words: Gear not am with
thee; | will bring thy seed from the East and
gather them from the West; I will say to the
North, give up, and the South, keep not back
bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from
the ends of the earth" I am glad of these good
times, and I think we women are in them, equal
members of the greatest party, as we have been
since the day of its birth.

We are destroying our forests to make paper
for the Sunday newspapers and yellow journals,
with their degrading budget of crime exploita-.
ton; we are prodigal of our coal supply beyond
whisky beer and tobacco; and from that folly we
are compelled to support prisons and insane asy-
lums and courts of law costing hundreds of mil
lions more-The Farm Journal

Backbone Needed
From the atlanta GeoYgian.]

One Maine judge fined who persisted in
violating the Prohibition law $1,000 and seven
teen months in Jail. With judges of such back
bone every bench there would be question
about the effectiveness of Prohibition law.

hlb1tlon commonwealth was seriously against
him in national politics. 1t is not clear that the
defeat OF the party was not brought about by
its own leaders to furnish the excuse and oppor-
tun1ty to break away from the Prohibition idea.
This all eliminated in a conspiracy entered
into at the home of Senator Catch in the fall
of 1901, and known as the Gatch-Allison plot.
AS result of this plot, in the winter of 1902
a local option bill was introduced in the legis-
lature and was championed by the Republican
press throughout the state. 1t was, however,
defeated.
In 1903 the Republican state convention re-
pudiated Prohibition with the result that in the
election of that fall 1o349 again voted the
Prohibition party ticket.
But the Republican party had gone too far to
withdraw from its plan of killing the prohibitory
law. 1t did not dare to repeal the Prohibition
statute, but it enacted the so-called "mulct law,
following the example of the Republican politi
clans in Ohio in multiplying the Prohibition con-
sttution of that state
The mulct law is commonly understood by
Prohibition readers everywhere, but may be
briefly described as statute providing that, upon
the payment of fine in advance, the violator
of the prohibitory law should not be punished
In both branches of the legislature at the time
of the passage of this BILL every vote cast for it
was the vote of Republican, though some Re-
publicans in both houses voted with the Demo-
Gratis against the bill.
The result of the muct law has been to pass
over the state of Iowa to the liquor interests,
almost without opposition 1t has, to be sure,
been impossible to put the mulct law in opera
ton in all the counties of the state, on account
of the unwngness of the people to sign the
necessary petitions, and there has been some
effort of local option character carried on IN
different parts of the state by the Anti Saloon
League, for some years past but, to all lntents
and purposes in Iowa, with a Prohibition law
upon the statute books, the liquor power has
been as completely dominant as it is in New
York or any other high license state.
The elimination of the infany in
1901 when the Republican party "killed the
fatted calf for the returning prodigal, A. B.
Cummns, and elected him to the office of COVER
nor which position he now holds. During the
earlier part of his administration Mr.. Cummins
was distinctly favorable to the liquor interests,
but during the past few months he has seemed
to discover signs of the Prohibition cyclone and
has been proclaiming his devotion to the
forcement of the mulct law.
These in brief outline, are some of the highly
important facts which the people of Iowa in the
contest upon which they entering, need to
keep firmly in mind.
