Here are some OF the striking
x things Mr.. Taft has said:
4 "The Democratic party to-day,
< as organized, Is nothing but or
X gnnized tncapacity. AT Mont
x pelier, vt,
4 Bryan would have the 1nitia-
4 tive and referendum because he
X distrusts representative govern
X Tuent, and has no confidence in
4 the ability of the people to Sc
4 Iect conscientious representa-
4 lives. He would take away from
4 courts, because he distrusts the
4 ability of Judges to resist the
4 ma1ign Influences Of the power,
4 the power to enforce their own
4 orders. At Columbus, Ohio.
Anything that makes capital
x idle, or which reduces or de-
4 stroys it, must reduce both
X wages and the opportunity to
X earn wages. At Cooper Union
X New York City.
y sThe only course of the Ad-
X ministration has been directed
4 against such organized capital
4 as was violating the statutes of
4 che United States-and no 9th
4 er. The business men of our
4 community as a wholefare hon
4 est and their methods are
\ sound. At Boston, Mass.
X @The so-ca1led colonial policy
X of the United States has added
4 to ouf trade already something
\ over one hundred millions a
X year. At Cleveland, Ohio.
x "The administration of exact
4 Justice by courts without fear OF
4 favor, unmoved by the influence
X of the wealthy or the threats OF
X the demagogue, is the highest
X ideal that a government Of the
X people can strive for, and any
X means by which sutton, how
\ ever unpopular or poor, Is de-
4 prived of enjoying this. are to
\ be condemned. AT Columbus,
i II believe that navy is the
X greatest insurer of peace that
X we could possibly have-a navy
4 commensurate with our re-
\ sources, and commensurate with
X our coast line, and commensu-
X rate with the number OF de-
X tendencies we have, and com
X mensurate with our population,
X and commensurate with our in
X fIuence as a world power. At
X Cleveland, Ohio.
X eff we assume control over a
X people for the benefit of that
4 people las in the Philippines)
X and with the purpose of deVel-
~
x capacity and with the intention
X of giving them the right to be-
X Come Independent when they
< shall show themselves fit, the
X charge that we are imperialtsts
4 Is utterly without foundation"
< AT Cleveland. Ohio.
"The present business system
X of the country rests on the pro-
X tective tariff, and any attempt to
X change it to a free trade basis
X will certainly lead to disaster"
X At Columbus, Ohio.
X "The Democratic party has no
X policy which the country can de-
X pend upon. It's whole stock in
4 trade is that of irresponsible
X when charged with the RESPONSE
4 bility of doing anything it ut
X terlv fails. AT Greensboro,
X N. G.
"Mr. Bryan asks me what
X would do with the trusts.
X answer that would restrain all
X unlawful trusts with all the eff
4 ficiency of iniunctive process
x and would punish with all the
X severity of criminal prosecution
4 every attempt on the part of
X aggregated capital to suppress
X competition. - At Columbus,
X Ohio.
X Inc lShueT Oh Lue SepuulA-
X can party during the Civil War
X wus Abraham Lincoln, and 1t
X has never lost the Inspiration of
X his leadership. = At Kansas
/ %As. a party shows itself ho-
X moGeneous, able to grasp the
\ truth with respect to new issues,
4 able to discard unimportant diff
X ferences of opinion, sensitive
X with respect to the successful
X maintenance OF Government.
X and highly charged with the re-
X sponsibility of it's obligation to
\ the people at large, it estab-
X fishes its claim to the confidence
X of the public, and to its continu-
4 ance In nolitical power. At
4 Kansas City, Mo.
4 1.-The course OF the Republic
\ can party since its organization
\ In 1856, and it's real assumption
X of control in 1861, down to the
X present dav, Is remarkable for
X the foresight and ability of it's
X leaders, for the discipline and
4 solidarity of its members, for
\ it's efHciencv and deep sense of
X responsibility for the preserva-
\ ton ana successful maintenance
\ of the Government, and for the
\ greatest resourcefulness in
\ meeting the various trying and
4 diflcult issues which n history
4 of now full half century has
4 presented for solution. At
= Kansas City. Mo.
