HEAT CUTS IT SHORT

plshed by the present occupant of the White House. In doing this. how ever, MT. Taft pointed out in what Is regarded as conservative note Tn his address, that there will be ser ious and difficult work to do, princi- pally ITO devise ways and means by which the high level of business n- I teerity and obedience to law which | he President Roosevelt) has estab- lished, may be maintained and de- partures from it restrained without undue interference with legitimate business"
 MT. Taft attacked the democratic I platform, asserting that most of It's l declarations either are inconsistent or 1 disngenuous. MT. Bryans principles were held up as destructive. The 1ast audience that heard the candidate. I filling porohes, lawns and streets, sur rounding the Taft residence, and seeming not to mind the intense heat l which the direct rays of a midsummer sun sent down upon 1t, was respon i've to MT, Taft's every mood, and there were loud cries of "No, no" when he said;
 T submit to those most interested, the wage earners, to farmers and to businessmen whether the introduction into power of the democratic party, with Mir, Bryan at Its head, and with the business destruction that 1t open ly advocates as a remedy for present evils will bring about the needed con hdence for the restoration of prosper | lty."
 MT Taft spoke for an hour and eleven minutes. Because of the in tense heat, which he appeared to feet more keeny beneath the canopy of the speakers stand than did those in the open lawn. he cut his enunciatlon of principles in many places. passing over entire sheets of his manuscript at ,imc, explaining hls course and the reason therefor in order that his hearers might read the entire speech as 1t was given out for publication. He denounced the democratic antl-in- junction plank as vague and ambigu- ous." In contrast to the republican declaration which he said was "cleat and unequivocal." Labor and the rights of labor came in for extensive consideration AS to the publicity of contributions for the purpose of car ing on campaigns the candidate de- elared that the selection of treas urer from the state of New York bound by the laws of that state as to the publication of such expenditures assured the position of the republican; as against the mere declaration of their opponents.
 Mir. Taft said he believed In the phy- sical valuation of railroads as iron time to time might be necessary and he personally favored the direct cleo ton by the people of the United States
