CINCINNATI, July 2S.-Standing
On a fag-draped platform in front of
the old colonial portico of his
brothers home. Judge w. NJ. Taft
accented the nomination of the Re-
publican party TO be its candidate
for the presidency. Political leaders
from far and near gathered to give
the affair its political significance,
while from the city and surrounding
suburbs the friends, neighbors and
admirers of Judge Taft among his
own townspeople turned out in count
less numbers and without regard TO
party affiliation.
Senator William Warner of Mis-
souri,. past eommander-in-chief of the
G. A. R.. headed the notification COM
mittee, which consisted of member
of every state. territory and island
possession of the nation. The repre-
sentatives of the committee were
chosen from the delegations attend
ing the nominating convention at Chi
eago. There also were present today
many members of the national COM
mittee, including Frank H. Hitch
cock, who made flying trip TO Gin
cinnati en- route from Chicago to
Washington and New York.
The day was clear and very warm
with the slightest of breezes blowing
in from the hill tops. The stand
ing guests and the crowds in the
streets, however. seemed not to mind
the scorching rays OF the sun. But
Judge Taft had blue peneiled his
speech for purposes OF delivery and
while not emitting any of the i'm
portant declarations, he eliminated
from the speech many of the ex-
planatory and detailed statements
which appeared in the manuscript
given out for publication.
Senator Warmers speech of MOTH
fication was brief, and when he had
concluded speaking there was an en-
thusiastic outburst of applause as
Judge Taft stepped forward. After
formally accepting the nomination
rendered by the chairman of the no.
LITIGATION committee, Judge Taft
launched out at once, without pic
ture, apostrophe or any attempt at
oratory, into the very essence of his
declaration of principles, the first
portion of his remarks being decla-
ration that Republican strength lies
in a maintenance of the Roosevelt
principles"
He dwelt at some length upon
what the president has done in the
line of reform, and declared the chief
function of the administration to be
a clinching of what already has been
accomplished. He asserted. in COM
pairing the platforms of the two old
parties, that the Republican declara-
tion is progressive and regulative,
while the Democratic is radical and
destructive. Judge Taft discussed
trusts, labor, injunctions, the physi-
cal valuation of railroads, the cur
rency, the postal savings banks,
which he declared were preferable to
the Democratic plan of government
guarantee of deposits, publicity OF
campaign contributions and all other
issues which he regards as pertinent
in the coming campaign. He con-
cluded with the declaration that as
between the two old parties the diff
ference consisted OF the fact that
with Republican success there would
be prosperity; with Democratic vic
tory there would be disaster.
When the final address was finish
ed there was procession of local and
visiting marching clubs, militia and
various civic organizations. From
an improvised reviewing stand on the
sidewalk Judge Taft reviewed the
passing hosts.
