one afternoon. Shortly after noon a

increased to several hundred, were al
most beside themselves William Ran

Finally the spectators could stand it
no longer and stormed the parIors

with Ever, HOP. Of Success,

With Every Hope Of S1ccessi
In his letter Of acceptance Mr.. Taft
says: IF am elected President I shall
urge upon Congress, with every hope Of
success, that law be passed requiring
the filing in federal office Of q state
fment OF the contributions received BY
committees and candidates in elections for
members of Congress, and in such other
elections as are constitutionally within
the control of Congress. Meantime the
Republican party by the election Of q
New York treasurer has subjected all its
receipts and expenditures to the compul-
sorry obligation Of such law"
But why with every hope of success?"
Did the letter Mr.. Taft wrote to Sem
ator Burrows, urging the adoption of
such law, have any effect upon the Re-
publican Congress?
Did the recommendation of Mr.. RoOse-
welt have any effect upon the Republican
Congress?
The Taft letter and the Roosevelt rec
ommendation were given to- Congress
while presidential election was APP
preaching. If a Republican Congress
would not act under those circumstances
with what reason does Mr.. Taft say that
after the presidential election he would
urge such measure with every hope of
success?"
The Republican party in national con-
vention assembled voted down public
ity plank by "a yeas to $50 nays.
Meantime let it be remembered that
the publicity favored by Mr.. Taft is an
AFTER" election publicity. In other
words, the people will be told who the
financial hackers of the. Republican party
are when it is too late for the people to
profit by the information.

to him to-day to- have the fearful thing
off his mind. and off his conscience: and
how ardently he must look forward to the

for him, but because they are the right
things to say and the right things to do.

ears of our people of late years. "Come,
let us reason together" may be called the
keynote of the Republican candidates dis

upheld By coad Lnwyers.

In his speech of acceptance Mr.. Taft,
referring to the suggestion that trial by
jury be required in all cases of indirect
contempt, says: Never in the history
of the country has there been such an
insidious attack upon the judicial system
as the proposal to interject a jury trial
between all orders of the court made after
full hearing and the enforcement of such
