HOT SPRINGS. Va. AUG. THE

This was the statement made this
evening by William Howard Taft, Ike
publican nominee for the Presidency IN
explanation Of his decision 10 address

Il made that statement some time

is a. difficult one. The difficulty is 10

and. in addition 10 this he is not in
a position 10 stand the trouble and cN-
pense of waiting for years 10 get "a de

Asked what might solve tine trouble
I'm some degree, Mr.. Taft indicated that
he would favor limiting the number OF
appeals which may be taken in case
involving less than $500
In many cases" he said, III IS bet
ter for a poor man TO have the case de-
csied promptly and finally than TO have
il drag along, even III he loses by the
promptness a case or two He might win
bv years of litigation and many APP

a limitation of one appeal ia such cases

Bryan ard his friencs assert, will mean

out the present Republican majority
there.
80 Bryan argues at length in his
speech Of acceptance for such "a meas
ure, and answers the argument that 1t
would prove a hardship on the larger
banks ty asserting that the smaller
banks hold savings of the people and
'he savings sot together, a dime and a
dollar at a time, represent effort that

possibility of loss.
He argues that the opposition TO he

prosecuted as. such. Close friends OF

From the letters that are being re-

evident that party lines are beng "shot

FAIRVIEW. Lincoln, Neb Aug. l.
a private secretary. who is an expert
stenographer, as one OF the component
parts of political conference between
William Jennings Bryan on the one
hand and John s. NVhaIen, secretary OF
state of New York and a party or
Tammany men on the other, was the
real sensation OF today at Fairview.
The Tammany men related the particu-
lars on their return 10 Lincoln and de-
cIared it was the first time they had
ever experienced any such ordeal.
we might have talked and possibly
have told him some real news, be-
walled Whalen and his friends after he
left the sacred confines of the home
OF the Commoner. but that display of
official force scared us of. OF course
it was al right, but Then Whalen
gazcd thoughtfuIIy at the sky and
smillnEiy explained that he did not talk
much anyhow.
I'm the party that called on the Demo-
cratic candidate today were Whalen,

resents Tammany Leader Charles +.

New York, and p. II. Walsh, secretary

Received Cordially.
Bryan received them cordially, but,
possibly owing 20 the presence Of Foley,
did not display his usual loquaciousness-

Everybody's going 10 be for Roose-
welt and RooseveItisn. Everybody
admits that Bryan was a great educa-
tiOnal force along right lines. Every
body comedies that Taft is a good man
and was picked by Roosevelt, who
ought TO be acquainted with him. Every
body Inclines TO Opine that the pops"
dimly sensed a number of things that
weren't so far wrong. Everybody leans
10 the view that it's bad TO drink too
much, and that in extreme cases-those
OF the other fellows. always-the pro-
hibiuonists may have some merit in
their argument. Everybody comedies
that the socialists have a lovely the

No; once more. no; there will be no

Adopted Populist Platform.
The truth IS that everybody mixed up
in campaign management is afraid 10
might land. Last year out in Nebraska
a joker went to a Republican county
convention with a copy OF the Populist
platform of ten years earlier, and pro-
posed it-nO label attacLed-as the plat
form for the convention. 1t was cheer
ed to the echo and adopted by a rising
vote! There were an aWfully mad lot
of Republicans when they found what
they had DONE but they decided 10
stand pat, and they carried the county
on that national pop" platform.
All of which illustrates the uncer-
tainty about what is on the public
mind. The politicians aren't sure. The
manag gers don't know. The statesmen
can't diagnose II. The officeholders-l
well. they want 10 cling to their GER
tificates Of election.

Republicans Confident.
This year IS different. There IS No
enthusiasm. The campaign opens with
a calm. quiet, rather traditional conf
dence on the part OF Republicans that
they will elect their candidate. They
hear reports from the West OF rather
unsatisfactory character, but they listen
lon vain for an echo from the East. So
they are sereneIy confident
