TAFT MAKES
AN APPEAL TO
SOLID SOUTH
In His Speech Before the Re-
puhIlCaHS Of Virginia He
Points to Work Done.
SAYS THE PEOPLE Do RULE
peoial bu unitsd Praas Rira:

Special by United Press Wire:
Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 21:-Wil-
liam H. Taft, the republican presi-
Dental candidate, in addressing the
Virginia republicans today made an
appeal in a large sense, to the
Solid South" to break from the dem
ocratic column. Among other things
he said that every one having the In
terest OF the country at heart would
rejoice to have the .'Solid South" as
a democratic asset, broken up. He
said 1t would be better for the states
and better for the country.
He pointed out that the republic
ans had improved the waterways,
conserved the forest and waters re-
sources, making many moves for the
development Of the South. He de-
clared that the growth of the many
Industries In the Southland was the
result of republican legislation. He
pointed out that many prominent
democrats in the South agreed with
the republicans in the main econ
omic doctrines and he ventured to
say that should Jefferson return to
life he would not recognize his polit-
ical descendants.
Another portion of Taft's speech
was IA the nature of reply to Bry-
ans speech OF acceptance, particu-
larly to his claim that the people do
not rule. Taft pointed to the ma
jorities of Mckinley and Roosevelt
as examples of people ruling, and he
dwelt at length upon Roosevelt's ef-
fort to purge the country of the evils
of the trusts ETC., claiming that the
people rule through the republican
party.
Special trains carrying crowds be-
gan to arrive early today and the
railroad company has been unable to
handle the vast throng. The Black
republicans are in the majority. The
exercises of the day are held in the
baseball park.

GOVERNMENT
is BACK AFTER
STANDARD OIL
Petition for a RehsarIng of the
Case In Which the S29, ,OOO,-
600 Fius Was Made.
THE REASONS AS SET FORTH


Chicago, Aug. 21-In accordance
with the ruling of the United States
circuit court of appeals, Chief Clerk
Small, in the absence of District At
torney Sims, today, for the govern
ment, filed petition forethe rehear-
ing Of the Standard Oil case. Early
action in the matter is expected.
The petition, In part, is as fol-
lows:
The indictment in the case was
for violation of the Elkins act OF
February 18th, 1908, making it a
crime to accept a concession where
by any property is transported In
interstate commerce at less than the
published and filed rate.
1t was proved at the trial that the
Chicago & Alton Railway Company
transported to East st. Louis, Illi-
nois, and st. Louis, Missouri, 1,492
carloads of oil.
In all the dealings between ship
per and carrier each carload was
treated as distinct transaction nd
handled as a distinct piece of busi-
ness.
The published and filed rates ON
this business were eighteen cents
per one hundred pounds to East st.
Louis and nineteen and a half cents
to st. Louis The Standard Oil
Company actually settled on the
basis of six cents to East st. Louis
and seven and half cents to st.
Louis.
These facts were admitted.
The Standard Oil Company inter-
posed the claim in defense that the
Elkins act was unconstitutional;
that the tariffs had not been posted
In two public places at the stations,
and interposed many technical de-
fenses.
On but a single point involved in
the trial up to the return of the YER
dict Of guilty are the rulings of the
trial Judge criticised by the court OF
appeals. In all other particulars his
rulings are sustained.
The point on which the trial Judge
is reversed by the court of appeals
relates to his rulings on evidence
and his charge to the jury with ref
erence to ignorance on the part Of
the Standard Oil Company of the
lawful rate as a defense.
The court of appeals in its opinion
has not correctly stated how the
judge ruled on this subject.
The court of appeals lays down
the rule that 1t is necessary for the
government to show beyond rea-
sonable doubt, as part of it's case.
that the shipper actually knew what
the lawful published and filed rate
was.
The government contends that
this this is an impossible rule; that
It is contrary to the purpose Of the
Elkins act; that It is contrary to the
general rule applicable in criminal
cases; that put into effect It would
make of the Interstate Commerce
act "a mere will-o'-the-wisp Of fegls-
lation, phantom statute, destitute
of strength or substance"
The government contends In the
petition that the court of appeals
has misstated not only the record as
to what evidence was admitted, but
has also misstated the construction
which the trial Judge placed upon
the statute. and that for this reason
there should be a thorough reargu-
ment upon the only proposition as
to which the ruling Of the trial
Judge up to the verdict Of guilty, is
reversed

NEW YORK COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, April 21.--Liverpool
did worse than expected and furnished
bears much encouragement, and the
result was more pressure on a market
already well nigh lifeless. New low
levels were established and little reac-
tiOnary power was shown at the de-
cline. Bears did not continue to pour
their offerings on the market but
there seemed no support of cOnse-
quences and the shorts did not show
much concern abOuta covering. Cab
les said that the continent was liquid
ating freely and trade reports from
that direction were anything but
favorable. The weather again broke
favOrably to the bear, little rain be-
ing reported and conditions looking
we'll nigh perfect again. That simply
aggravated the bear expectation for
increased acreage and they sold with
out thought of a reckoning. Trade
conditions don't change and it remains
to be seen what spots will do They
are quiet now but offerings are not
much. Conservative people think
there will sometime soon be a hasty
recovery because of paying no atten-
ton to the spot situation. Weather
indications are favorable, no rains
being indicated

Gratis expected. They have known
ever since Mr.. Bryan returned from
abroad, if not before, that his nominal
ton for the Presidency was improb-
able. If the Democracy prefers de-
feat with Mr.. Bryan to victory with
somebody else, it will not heed the
warning. But there is good reason
to believe that a sufficient number of
delegates to Denver will have the dis
cernment and the wisdom required to
rescue the party from foreordained
disaster. 1t is impossible to believe
that the siXty-eight delegates from
Pennsylvania will fai Ito see what
other Eastern Democrats see so
plainly. The presumption is that
they will refuse to support Mr.. Bryan,
and that their action, with that of
New York and other states, will lead
the way out of the wilderness.
