IE EXPLAINS HIS BELIEF

Omaha, Neb., Oct. i.-"I am going to he elected"
 This statement made tonight by Wil- liam H. Taft sums up. in a word what the candidate thinks of the effect Of his speechmaking tour thus far The the manner of his reception in States thus far traversed in which there was reported to be defections among the Republican ranks. As to the national ticket MT. Taft now believes that there is no reason to doubt that the Repuo- : lican party will hold It's own and should this prove the case MT. Taft says there is no doubt that he will get the electoral vote of Wisconsin, Min nesota. the Dakotas, Iowa and Nebras- ka--tie States as to which the disaf- lection was supposed to exist.
 Fl have been in real touch with the people" continued Mir. Taft. They have come to see me and hear me in numbers far beyond my anticipation and what seems of even more impor- tance, 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 contact with me has been marked. and shows more than a passing interest"
 Thirteen speeches were delivered by the candidate today in a. swing around the southeastern part of Nebraska and terminating at Omaha tonight where two bix meetings, one for the benefit os the stock yard employees In South omaha, the other in the auditorium. were held. Throughout the day MT. Taft confined his speeches to ptcturing conditions under the last administra- tion and contrasting them with Re- publican rule. As he has done during his two days in Nebraska, he did not fail to pay his respects to Bryan when ever he spoke. On several occasions, he delivered his labor speeches and declared to be lie the statement that se haa ever deciafed that otis dollar ; . day wAs t9nougti for any iaboring man. a x crnaha.s reception Of the candidate was in Keeping with that accoraed him at Lincoln last night The AK and the added illumination of the city lent to the holiday appearance. NO naraaA was arranged. The arrival or fba Taft special at 5:30 o'clock was sianalized by the footing of whistles and firing of bombs. Judge Tett was taken for a short automobile rtde ana then returned to his car for dinner.
 
 bv automobiles and the return was made shortly after g o'clock to the Auditorium, where Senator DoLlfver had been holding forth to an immense audience for an hour.
 Tn his South Omaha speech. MT. Taft. after reviewing the labor decisions ne had rendered, made this interesting conciusion: ..x
 sThat is not all. I laid down the r,,,e that labor not only has the right to unite, but that 1t ought te unite m order to meet capital on level that they had the right to appoint ofncers; that they had a right to raise funds uyitb which to sustain strikes; that strikes could not be enjotned; that men had the right to leave the employ of their employers in concert if they choose; that they had the right to ap- point officers who should direct them what they should do and that they had the right to withdraw from asso- citation with those whom they had con. troyersies; that they had the right to induce all their competitors. all their Fellow men to withdraw from such association; but they did not have : the right to injure the property Of tneir employers or declare a secondary boy colt against them.
 "Those decisions. I claim, have been the magma charta of trades unions aver since, The railway orders used that decision In case before Judge Adams against the Gould roads in which an injunction was issued for bidding them to follow the directions of their chiefs. They went into the court and cited my case and Judge Adams withdrew his injunction. The same thing happened down in Cincin- nati under Judge Thompson in a sim liar case with respect to the typo graphical union: I have not decided all my cases in labor business. I have had also to run up against corpora tions' As one of the court, | wrote the opinion in the first important anti-trust case that was decided and 1t laid down the principles on which all the antitrust prosecutions are now conducted.
 T am not apologizing for anything l did; am only telling you the truth when l say that the legality and the opportunity that they have reached; to raise the funds that they have raised; to bring about trade agree ments to entitle them to the respon- sible position that they occupy now in dealing with their employers. Is as largely due to the law which I laid down IS to any other cause.
 Disagrees With Platform.
 T agree that injunctions have been issued which have been much too broad. and the reason why they have been too broad is because they have been issued without notice and the judge has not sufficiently considered it; therefore, I have been in favor of requiring that no injunction should issue without notice. but the Republi- can convention does not desire to go so far. but said if you put into man datory statute the best present statutes and so define the few cases where tenn porary injunctions may issue without notice and require that where a tenn porary injunction Is issued without notice, it shall not have effect for more than forty-eight hours so that a man may have hearing within forty-eight hours, then that abuse of which they complain, and of which they rightly complain. will be done away with. It Is an. outrage and ought not to be permitted and I am not defending it. but what I say is tGere are judges and judges, and to visit me with responsibility for every abuse that has been committed, and not look to my own cases. and to know
