REPUBLICAN PLEDGES
MADE TO BE BROKEN
KERN DECLARES TAFT is FULL
OF DECEIT
Postal Savings and Injunction PIanks
Will Not Be Carried Out in
Any Event Is Voters
Belief
[Ry Associated press.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-"Should not
the fact that men believe that candi-
date for the presidency intends to be
elected to violate the pledges made by
him, and his party, be a most potent
reason why honest and patriotic men
should withhold their support from him
and his cause? =.
Should the fact that a candidate for
the presidency is regarded as so honest
as to be incapable of violating the plat
form pledges be an argument against
his election?"
These questions, put by John w.
Kern, Democratic nominee for the vice
presidency, TO crowd that filled every
available foot of room in Tammany
hall tonight. were answered by an out
burst of cheering.
Mr.. Kern was given a warm greeting
when he entered the hall and later
when he was Joined on the platform
by Lieutenant Governor Chanler, the
Democratic candidate for governor of
New York, the men were kept busy for
several minutes bowling their ac-
acknowledgements of the plaudits of the
crowd.
Mr.. Kern was introduced by William
Schmer, prominent Tammany leader.
Mr.. Kern declared that no honest busi-
ness interest in this country had any
thing to fear from the election of Mr..
Bryan, but that the mission of the
Democratic party was to build up busi-
ness and business enterprises, not to
destroy them.
Taft's Deceit
'If you ask the average Republican
business man in New York if he is
in favor of the establishment of postal
savings banks" said Mr.. Kern, ''he
will at once answer in the negative
If you then call his attention to the
fact that Mr.. Taft is pledged, through
his platform, to the establishment OF
postal savings banks il this country
he will shrug his shoulders and if hon
est will tell you that he does not be-
lieve that any serious effort will be
made on behalf of that reform in Tho
event of Mr.. Taft's election. Yet thai
man will vote for Taft, with the dis
tinct belief that he is deliberately at
tempting to deceive the American peo-
pie and trick them out of their votes
ASK the average protected manu-
facturer if he is in favor of the law
providing that no injunction or re-
straining order shall under any cir
cumstances be issued by any court
without notice, and you will receive a
firm and decisive answer that he is not
in favor of such things. Then if you
call his attention to the fact that Mr.
Taft is pledged to carrying out of the
Roosevelt policies and that Mr.. Roose-
welt in his message of March 20 last
declared that no temporary restraining
order should be issued by any cour
without notice, he will inform ycu thai
he has not the slightest fear that un-
de- Mr.. Tafts administration any sucf
legislation would be seriously consid
cred And this man will likely vote
for Taft regardless of the expression
that he has no confidence in the
pledges his candidate has made to The
people"

ITALIAN MEMBERS ATTEMPT

Opposition So Vigorous That Execu-

Into Its Own Hands for
Settlement

LYNN, Mass, Oct. 15.-An effort
of the Lasters union of this city to
take a ballot and thus ratify an in
formal vote taken yesterday, declar-

operatives, was interrupted today by
about forty Italian members of the
union, who demanded n written agree
ment with the manufacturers.
The Italians broke open the ballot
box and threw the votes out of the
window and were so vigorous in their
opposition to any ballot that the ex-
ecutive committee this afternoon took
the question of declaring the strike off
without a vote under consideration.

BRYAN FINISHES
NEBRASKA TRIP
is JUBILANT OVER OUTLOOK
IN COUNTRY
RAISES HIS ESTIMATE OF SIZE
OF MAJORITY
Had No Doubt Way State Would Go,
but Simply Paid Friendly Visits
to Democrats Because of
Loyalty
Eny Associated Press

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Oct. 10
William J. Bryan closed his three days
speechmaking tour of his home state
with a large meeting in this city to-
night, feeling that Nebraska can safely
be counted in the Democratic column
this year by a larger majority than he
received in 1906. 1t has been a nota-
BILE day. both in point of the number
of speeches made, the size of the
crowds addressed and the vigorous
manner in which he spoke to his audi
ences.
large portion of the day was spent
in his old congressional district, and
the enthusiasm which prevailed in his
tour of the state was intensified by the
fact that these people gave him his
first political distinction and have fol-
lowed him with increasing confidence
as he fought his way up the ladder.
Today they showed their affection for
him by demonstrations at every sta
tion and by crowds such as the towns
had never seen before.
MY trip throughout the state vas
not planned because there was any
doubt about Nebraska" he said. 1T
was because the Democrats have been
so loyal to me that l was not willing
to let the campaign pass without visit
ing them.
Raises Estimates
"The trip. however, has led us to
raise our estimates of the size of the
majority Nebraska will give. We have
counted on a majority as large as that
given me in 1895, but l am satisfied
from what l have seen and from the
reports | have received that our ma
iority will be considerably more than
it was at that time. In no campaign
in this state have 1 encountered such
large and enthusiastic audiences, ana
the reports received from every pre-
cinct and every county show defec-
tions in the Republican ranks and con-
sequent additions to our vote. Our
majority in 1896 was in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, and there is no COM
parison between the outlook three
weeks before the election at that time
and at present"
Speaking began early today and con-
tinued throughout the day. More than
twenty stops were made and at eacn
place Mr.. Bryan talked longer than he
had been scheduled for.
Taft Family Panic
His addresses were more aggressive
than they have been during the week.
In discussing the panic at Tecumseh
he said the Republicans are threaten
ing a panic in case of his election.
"There will be a panic in one family"
he said, "and that will be the Taft
family, for Mr.. Taft's federal salary
will not be drawn for the first time
in more than twenty years"
After his meeting at Plattsmoutn
tonight Mr. Bryan took train fer
Denver, where he will speak tomorrow.
While physically tired he was jubi-
liant over the outlook in his own state

In letter to the Dallas News DR.,
G. c. Rankin attempts to explain
away the charge that he mixed up in
the recent political campaign. We
have no doubt that the doctor would
like very much to have some people
in Texas forget the part he played,
but they are not going to do it. He
influenced as far as his influence
could reach in the church he repre-
sents and was a considerable factor
in shaping the result of the election.
In placing him on the Ellis county
delegation to the state convention
the politicians of this county believ-
ed that a proper reward for services
rendered was being given. Perhaps
when the annual conference of the
Methodist church is held Dr. Rankin
may hear something further as a re-
suit of his industrious efforts in be-
half of politics and politicians.

A REFLECTION.

Sometimes we wonder what a mean
man thinks about when he goes to
bed; turns out the light and lies
down; when the darkness closes in
around and he is alone and compell-
ed to be honest with himself. And
not a bright thought, nor generous
impulse, not manly act, nor a
grateful look comes to bless him
again Not penny dropped into the
outstretched palm of poverty, nor
the balm of loving word dropped
into an aching heart; no sunbeam
of encouragement cast upon strug-
Cling life, the strong right hand OF
fellowship reached out to help some
fallen man to his feet-when none
of these things come to him as the
God bless you" of the departed
day, how he must try to roll away
from himself and sleep on the other
side of the bed. When the only victory
he can think of is some mean victory
Dor No wonder he sneers when he
tries TO smile. How pure, and fair,
and good, all the world must look
to him. and how cherries, and dus-
ty, and dreary must his own path
appear Why, even one lone isolated
act of kindness is enough to scatter
crumbs in the bed of the average
ordinary man, and what must be the
feelings of a man whose life is Civ
en- up to mean acts. When there is
so much suffering, and heartache,
and misery in the world, anyhow,
why should you add one pound of
wickedness or sadness to the general
burden? Suffer injustice thousand
times rather than commit it once
Exchange.
