Omaha, Neb.. oct. l,-"l am going to | be elected" This statement made to- night by william H. Taft sums mp in e word what the candidate thinks of the effect of his speech-making tour | thus far. The belief Is based, Mr. Taft explained. on the manner of his recep- tion in states thus far traversed in which there was reported to be defee- ! tions among the republican ranks. AS to the national ticket, Mir. Taft now be- lieves that there Is no reason Co doubt but that the republican party will hold it's own, and should this prove the case, Mir. Taft says there Is no doubt that he will get the electoral vote of Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa and Ne- braska-the states as to which the dis affection was supposed to exist
 1T have been in real touch with the people, continued Mir Taft They have come to see mo and hear me in numbers far beyond my anticipation, and what seems of even moro import ance they have responded to what have had to say In way that could feel their sympathy The desire of my audiences today to get in personal cons tact with me has been marked and shows more than a passing interest
 Thirteen speeches were made by the candidate today In q swing around the southeastern part of Nebraska and terminating at Omaha tonight. were two big meetings. one for the benefit of the stockyards employees In South Oma- Ina. the other in tha Auditorium. Throughout the day the crowds were larger than usual at the short stops At Crete, Beatrice. Table Rock and Nebraska City, the voice of the candl- date was entirely inadequate to reach the limit Of the crowds. Al several of the stops Mir. Taft left his car and spoke from 3 platform Al practical ly every station tho local band was In attendance and the cheers which greet cd tho candidate upon his arrival and departure came with a vim
 Throughout the day Mir. Taft confn- cd his speeches to plcturing conditions under the last democratic admlulstra. ton and contrasting them with repub- lcan rule. As he has done during his two days In Nebraska, he did not fail to pay his respects to Bryan whenever he spoke, On several occasions he de- lvered his labor speech and declared to be a lie tho statement that he had ever declared that ono dollar day was enough for any laboring man
 He said, Some ordinary cheap, com mon liar has devoted himself to tho business of running around the country and saving that am In favor of pay ing 8 laboring man a dollar day and thht I have said that that ls enough, Anybody that says ever made that remark Is a liar and the man who he- lieves him Is fool"
 Tn his South Omaha speech Mir Taft, after reviewing tho labor de cslons he had rendered. made tnja in. terostlng conclusion.
 That Is not all laid down the rule that labor not only had the right to unite but that lt ought to unite In order 10 meet capital on level that they 1dO d llEil lV 1FH'lUl 'lll' VI Ft that they had q right to raise funds with which to sustain strikes, that strikes could not be entoined, that men had the right to leave the employ of their employers in concert f they chose. that they had tine right to ap- point officers who snould direct them what they should do that thev had Al. .Ia. .ts.,- with those with whom they hal con troversies. that they had the right tc induce all their competitors, all theii fellow union men to withdrawl from such association; but that they did not have the right 10 iniure property of their employers, or declare a sec. ondary boycott against them
 Those decisions l claim have beer Nne magma charts of trades unionisn ever since. The railroad orders used that decision in case before Judge Adams against the Gould roads, r which an injunction issued forbiddinl them to follow the directions of thei, chiefs. They went into the court ant cited my case and Judge Adams with drew his injunction Tho same thins happened down in Cincinnati unde, Judge Thompson, in similar cas, with respect to the Typograpnica union.
 IT have not decided all my cases lr labor businesses. have had also tt run up against corporations As on, of the court l wrote the opinion fl the first important art-trust case tha was decided, and 1t laid down tn, principles upon which all the anti trust prosecutions are now conducted
 'I agree that injunctions have bee, Issued which have been much too broa, and the reason why they'nave been to- broad Is because they have been is sued without notice and the judge Ina not sufficiently considered it; there fore, have been in favor of requir Ing that no injunction should issu without notice, but the republican convention did not desire to go SO fal but said If you put Into mandator statute the best present statutes an So define the few cases Wnere tern porary injunCtions may Issue withou notice and require that where a tenn porary injunction fig issued wthou notice fl shall not have effect for nor than 4S hours so that a man ma have hearing within 4S hours, the the abuse of which they complain, an
