ready campaigner, was given second
.'try-out' today, He is to speak from
here to Cincinnati. Most OF his adj
dresses will be delivered from the rear
platform OF his train. His first polit-
ical speech was at the rally in a
theater here, following an address to
the old soldiers, residents of the Erie
county soldiers home.
Tafts itinerary today calls for adj
dresses at THIN, Carey, Wharton, For
est, Bellefontaine. Urbana, Springfield.
and Dayton, and at such other stops as
may be warranted by the crowds pre-
senting themselves.
In q. reminiscent and historic mood
Taft spoke for ten minutes to the in-
mates Of the soldiers home. While pol
itics was not mentioned by the candi-
date, he took occasion to give credit
to Senator Foraker, under whose ad-
1ninistratfon as governor. the home was
erected. "A notable feature Of Taft's
speech was his comparison OF the sac
rifice OF the veterans of the country IN
the wars for the principle Of freedom
with the veterans of France Quartered
at Hotel Des Invalides, In Paris, who.
he said had been the instruments or
the ambition Of one man and had not
fought for q living principle, Taft was

IN his speech at the theater, Taft al :
luded to last years panic, saying that
was q plant Of slow growth.
The people Of the country, farmer. La.
sh,rer and capitalist. were all in the
same boat. Investment of money was
lbs said. necessary. for the return OF
prosperity. and confidence was neces-
sary.
..Anc / want to say to the men and
women OF this country, that the elect
ion s,s Bryan would be q menace to
the confidence which Is necessary to
this confidence on which prosperity
rests. s
II Taft said the subject he wanted to
talk about was Bryan's claim that "he
IS not only the heir to the policies Of
Roosevelt, but he also is the parent Of
those policies Let US then see" contin-
ued Taft, what the Roosevelt policies
are. and what has been done by
Roosevelt in carrying them out, and
what has been the attitude Of the DEM
ocratic party towards that action.
The evil Of rebates was then de-
scribed and the remedy-the rate bill
and the provision against rebates
was discussed. The trust question was
then taken up.
Bryan says the trusts control the
republican party, consequently their
control can not be expected by them.
What is the history OF the democratic
party? Whenki 1t was In power it ad-
anitted 1t could not agree on a remedy.
The republicans passed the Sherman
trust law, and Roosevelt has been
enforcing II"
Taft here illustrated this enforce
ment by concrete cases. saying: Il like
20 get down to facts for am not an
orator. I cannot dwell In Cerulean
blue i have got to deal with real
cases.
The Addison pipe case was then ex-
planned to show how under the anti
trust law,s-a monopoly had been To-
Gated and remedied,. the remedy being
to prevent sttfling competition. I'VE do
not, !. said Taft, want to prevent large
aggregatIons OF capital for legitimate
business. They; produce q large wage,
fund. and we do not want to drive
them out OF business II they keep
within the law. What we need is an,
increase IN the machinery Of the gov
ernment fort the supervision OF these
companies, which have temptation to
violate the law, also that we shall have
facilities at Washington to carry on
speedy prosecutions so that when q
charge d brought 1t can be determined
speedily, and the law interpreted and
understood" Here it was that TAFT
reached the climax Of hds speech, with
the emphatic declaration, IL ann
elected president. propose to devote
all the ability in me to constructive
work, suggesting to congress means by
which the Roosevelt policies shall be
with a turn Of the hand, not as Gov
ernor Hughes so ably said at Youngs-
town, Saturday, by a magician's wand.
1t must be done by men who under
stand the operation OF the statutes;
and who know what the law means,
who understand its practical workings
and effect; men who are conscious that
these reforms cannot be brought about
by the mere passage of statutes, but
by earnest and consistent enforcement.
step by step, until those who are likely
to violate them shall understand the
penalty which shall be theirs II they
violate them" Taft concluded with the
declaration that Bryan has no more
right to say he is the heir of the
Roosevelt policies than 1rachborne had
to. the Tichborne estate The speak
er explained that the heir he had re-
ferred to was proven not only to be
not the rightful heir, but merely a false
friend of the rightful heir.
