Again. the Democratic party in con-
gress and convention shows it's desire
to weaken the courts by forbidding
the use OF the writ of injunction
to protect a lawful business against
the destructive effect OF secondary
boycott and by interposing q jury in
contempt proceedings brought to en-
| force it's order and DEGREES. These
provisions are really class legislation
designed to secure immunity for law
| lessness in labor disputes on the part
! of the laborers, but operating much
more widely tC paralyze the arm of
! the court in cases which do not in
| vQlve labor disputes at all. The hos
tility to the judiciary and the meas
ures to take away its power and it's
| independence constitute the chief def
mite policy that can be fairly attribut-
ed to that class of statesmen and re-
formers whose absorption and control
| the Republican party escaped at Chi
| cago and the Democratic party yield
ed to at Baltimore.
Such Innovations Rejected.
The Republican party, Mr.. Taft con-
tinued, stands for none of these In
novations. 1t refuses to make changes
simply for the purpose of making a
change. and cultivating popular hope
that in the change something benefi-
cial. underlined. will take place. The
Republican party believes in progress
along the lines upon which We have at
tanned progress already.
The president then devoted some
time to review of what has been ac-
complished during his administration,
including warm defense of the Payne
tariff bill. In conclusion he said:
can not think that the American
people. after the scrutiny and educa-
ton OF three-months' campaign, dur
ing which they will be able to see
through the fog Of misrepresentation
and demagoguery, will fail to recog.
nlze that the two great issues which
are here presented 10 them are, first
whether we shall retain, on sound
and permanent basis, our popular con.
stitutional representative form OF gov.
eminent, with the independence O;
the judiciary as necessary key TO the
preservation Of those liberties that
are the inheritance OF 1000 years. and,
second, whether we shall welcome
prosperity which is just at our door by
maintaining our present economic
business basis and by the encourage.
ment OF business expansion and prog.
ress through legitimate use of cap
ital.
