ON BEET SUGAR.
SAYS FAvORs INDUSTRY
Big Crowd Greets Republican Candi-
date for Presidency, a. He Pass
es Through Greeley Friday
Afternoon. Senator
DOlliver Speaks
to IOwans.

Not less than 3 900 persons caught
a glimpse of Candidate William How
ard Taft, as he passed through
Greeley Friday afternoon on his way
to Denver. Not more than a couple
OF dozen persons heard the few re-
marks that MIR. Taft made. He was
very hoarse from continuous speak
ing. and besides was just recovering
from a short illness of couple Of
days before.
For the benefit of the many who
did not hear Mr.. Taft's remarks. the
stenographic report. taken by Henry
Luther. follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
have been talking half across the
continent and have left most of my
voice in the east. / am glad to be
able to express my gratitude to the
people OF Greeley for this cordial re-
ception. | understand you are in
terested in the beet sugar industry.
| also understand that some people
have intimated that l am against
beet sugar. l deny it. l would not
do anything to injure the beet sugar
industry in any way; and / can tell
you that the platform of the repub-
lican party pledges to take no action
which will not be adequate protec-
tion for the beet sugar industry. But
call your attention to the fact that
beet sugar Ia a trust-made product
and that II Bryan becomes presi-
dent and. Aas- control OF tho !estsia'
tion on the subject, he proposes tc
put beet sugar on the free list be-
cause 1t is a trust-made product
That is the character of revenue tina,
he proposes to deal to the trusts
We say to regulate the trusts but In
stamping out the evils, not to pun
ish innocents with the guilty. 1t is
the principles of the republican
party not to destroy the farmers who
raise sugar beets nor the men who
work for beet sugar factories.
II will now leave to Senator Dol
liver of Iowa to continue my re
marks
Mr.. Tart spoke for just one min.
ute, and he was followed BY SEN
ator Dolliver, who also spoke iol
about minute, and then the train
pulled out. Mr.. Dolliver said
II nave an lued tndt tne sTtdt muir
titude of this community who are as
sembled here today really ought to
be in Iowa as a part of my crnstitu-
ency there. Just for curiosity
would like to see the hands OF ev-
erybody raised who once lived In the
good old state of Iowa. My coun
trymen, am sorry that you no
longer live within our Jurisdiction,
but / congratulate you that your
lives have fallen in such pleasant
places and that you aud your chill
dren have this sacre.i heritage here
in Colorado. In the minute l have
to talk want to make one more
statement to the people here in Col
orado. her farmers. miners, workers
in the mills and the beet factories.
that l hope that you will stand by
the old republican party and give
to the great leader of our party in
this campaign such an overwhelming
majority In Colorado as to make all
previous records pale into insigniti-
canoe. In this wonderful country
you have great opportunity to con
tinue the material prosperity OF
America, her high standards of fl
nance and political integrity that
has marked the illustrious admins
tration OF lneodore Roosevelt
