Cincinnati Crowded With Visitors
from Ohio and Neighboring States
TO Hear Republican Candidate for
President Sound Kcynotc--Rc-
views Long Parade.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 2y.-William
Howard Taft accepted the Republi-
can presidential nomination in a
speech of about $1,000 words. His
official notification combined jub-
lice for the city of Cincinnati and its
environs, a historic gathering of
national party leaders and an occa-
sion for the announcement by the
candidate of his views.
The notification was without any
great ceremony. Upon the hour OF
noon, Mr.. Taft, party of friends
and the notification committee filed
out of the colonial door TO the broad
porches OF the Taft mansion.
The porches and lawn were re-
served for ticketholders, the street
being the free-for-all field. A band
stationed directly in front of the
platform on the front walk kept the
assembling crowd in a merry mood.
Senator William Warner, of Mis-
souri,, past commander in chief of the
3fand Army of the Republic, chair
nan Of the notification committee,
escorted Mr.. Taft to the substantial
platform which projects out over the
old stone steps leading to the en-
trance to the mansion.
Senator Warmers speech OF notif-
cation was brief. After formally In
forming Mr.. Taft of his nomination
ae handed him an engrossed copy OF
the Chicago platform.
In reply Mr.. Taft did not deliver
his full speech of acceptance, but
ave only about enough of 1t to oc-
2upy an hours time.
He did not eliminate any of the
topics but omitted some of the de-
sailed explanations and arguments
that appear In full in the printed
document.
The following are some Of the
pithy paragraphs from Mr.. Taft's
speech of Acceptance:
The man who formulated the expression OF pop
lar conscience and who led the movement fo
prnctical reform was Theodore Roosevelt
Mr.. Roosevelt has set high the standard of bus
ness morality and obedience to law.

The practical constructive and difficult work
s,erefore of those who follow Mr.. Roosevelt Is tC
