Standing Pat.

The tariff plank OF the present Re-
publican platform is, In effect, the
strongest demand for a prohibitive
high tariff ever put in the
national platform of any par.
Ity. and Mr.. Taft's speech OF
acceptance is little stronger than
the platform plank. for he frankly sug-
gests the revision of certain schedules
upward. At the Republican convention
minority plank. demanding a tariff
merely equal to the difference be-
tween the cost OF production at home
and abroad" was kicked out OF the
committee on resolutions by vote OF
SO to l and out of the convention It.
self by vote OF 952 to So. A minor.
ity plank favoring a tariff commission.
WAS bundled cut OF the resolutions
committee and the convention itself
by the figures already named.
Those liberal Republicans who real
lie that much of the party platform

Roosevelt, propose to mark Taft bal

II is high honor to be governor OF
Massachusetts. To ali who dwell
within her confines, the old state Is
very, very dear She has right 10
our love and pride. Behold her and
Judge for yourselves Here she is,
a queen among commonwealths. en-
throned amidst her hills and streams.
with the ocean at her feet. Trade Is
In her marts and prayer within her
temples. Her cities stir with busy
life. Her wealth grows, beyond the
dreams OF avarice. Her rivers turn
the wheels of industry, and the smoke
OF countless chimneys tells the story
of the inventors genius and the work
mans skill. But the material side IS
the least OF it. We rejoice nightly
in her prosperity, but our love and
pride are touched by nobler themes.
We love the old state. The sand hills
of the cape, with the gulls wheeling
over the waste of waters; the gray
lodges and green pastures OF Essex,
with the seas surging forever on her
rocks; the broad and fruitful valleys
Of the Connecticut; the dark hills and
murmuring streams OF Berkshire, have
to us a tender charm no other land
can give. They breuthe to os-t
soft message that tells of home and
country.
Still 1t is something. more than the
look of hill and dale. something deep
er than habit which stirs our hearts
when we think of Massachusetts,. Be-
hind the outward form or things Tics
that which passeth show. II is In the
history OF Massachusetts, in the lives
OF her great men, In the SACRIFICES, In
the deeds and in the character OF her
people that we find the true secret OF
our love and pride We may not ex-
plain IL even to ourselves, but IL is
there In the good old name, and flush
es into life at the sight OF the white
| flag.
Massachusetts, Utter but the word
and what memories tnrong upon her
children! Here came the stern God
fearing men to find a home and found
a state. Here. almost where we stand,
on the edge OF the wilderness. was
placed the first public school. Yon-
der. across the river, where the track
OF the savage still fingered, and the
howl of the wolf was still heard, was
planted the first college. Here, through
years of peril and rrivation. with
much error and failure, but ever striv-
I ing and marching onward, the Puri-
tans built their state. II was tbs old
town that first resisted England and
barred its breast TO receive the hostile
spears. In the fields OF Middlesox the
| first blood was shed in the American
revolution On the slopes OF Bunker
hill the British troops first fecoiled
under the American fire. Massachu-
sets was the first great common
wealth to resist the advance OF slav-
cry, and In the mighty war for the
Union she had again the sad honor
to lay the first blood offering on the
altar OF the nation.
This Is the state that Winthrop
founded. Warren died for her liberties
and Webster defended her good rame.

THE TRUTH
~. Mater Whom IL Help, or Hurts.

Over the signature of Fred w.
Upham, assistant treasurer OF the
campaign committee, the Repub-
lican party is soliciting contribu-
tons from corporations in viola
ton of the federal laws.
Proof of this fact is presented
in a circular letter which is being
sent from the national headquar-

final answer to this charge made
against me.
In my career as a state senator I
been as faithful in my attend
ance, as ready to answer roll calls,
as square in my beliefs, as earnest
In my efforts for good legislation
and as open minded as any senator
who has occupied a seat in the senate
chamber, and I make no exceptions.
My record will bear the test of
any inspection that is made with
that of any other senator whose rec
ord is Inspected by the same standard
and rule.
Let US proceed a little further
with this analysis:
Your compiler charges me with
against House Bill Is, the
title of which is as follows:
A bill for an act requiring rail-
way companies to provide at sid
ings or stations where an. agent
is not employed prompt mean
for sealing loaded cars and re-
ceipting for their contents.
I did vote against this bill.
But why do you not complete the
record and not seek to create a false
from suppressing the
I quote from the Senate Journal,
1907, at page 1896:
Mr.. Regan moved that the vote
by which House Bill No. Is pass
ed be reconsidered, which motion
prevailed.
Mr.. Regain moved that further
consideration of House Bill Is
go over until tomorrow, which
motion prevailed.
Mr.. Regan is a prminent Insurg.
ent leader in the state.
After this bill had passed, it Is
evident from. the record that the en-
tire body of the senate changed its
view, for it passed a motion to re-
consider, and postponed action until
the following day. The record does
not show that the bill was ever call
ed up again. So that the entire SEN
ate appears to have agreed with the
stand I took when I voted against
the bill.
IT this was such a measure that It
was a legislative crime to vote
against it, may I inquire why Mr..
Regan moved to reconsider its pas
sage, when failure to do so would
have left the bill enacted?
Again ! have proven your compiler
to be 9 pettifoger of the clumsiest
sort.
Maximum Fare Bill.
Let me prove your compiler again
a falsiler: You quote House Bill
10 as follows: 4
A bill for an act providing for
q maximum rate Of fare to be
charged and collected by railroad
corporations and common carri-
ers for the transportation Of pas
sengers and baggage and provid-
ing a penalty for the violation
thereof.
And you charge me with the crime
Of having been absent and not vot.
ing. Your compiler deliberately fal.
SITES, SO far as his intent is concern.
ed, for he certainly knew the history
Of the maximum fare bill.
II youwill see page 1872 Of the Sen.
ate Journal for 1907 you will see that
1 voted for the passage Of House Bill
18, which then provided for q
straight fare of two cents a mile.
What happened?
The bill went back to the house
which was a Democratic and Insurg,
ent body.
The house refused to accept the
amendment of the senate, to cut out
the anti-pass provision Of the bill, a,
the senate had already passed
strict anti-pass bill-Senate Bill %

able lawyers, the very fact that bids

$4,000 to 100000 year to the city,

would gladly bid $4,000 for 1t II they
were given a chance. This sort Of
business Is played out with the public
and the facts once understood will

day afternoon STannhAuser' was sung for

TrovRtore' was sung TO such an audience
as the popular Saturday nights never cav

humanity was the fret appearance OF Mr.,
Caruso at Saturday performance. This
famous tenor is luxury and he costs money
and hence an opportunity to hear him at
marked down prices could not be passed by.
His singing Of Aonrico has been warmly
praised. despite the fact that he has omitted
the high G, without which the role used TO
be regarded as hollow sham. But without
the high G Mr.. Caruso has in the significant
language OF the time made good.
