President Taft's formal speech OF
acceptance Of the nomination Of the
Chicago convention was delivered here
today to the official committee Of no.
tification. headed by Senator Root and
few invited guests.
Altho Mr.. Taft defined in detail the
issues Of the campaign as he saw
them, he reserved the right to amplify
his statements later as the campaign
develops.
The supreme issue that confronts
the voters. the president declared, was
that of the maintenance Of the ma
tion's institutions and the preserva-
tion of the constitution. threatened. he
said, on the one hand by the democrat
ic party and on the other by those re-
publicans who had left the party to try
their fortunes in a new one.
Next in Importance Mr.. Taft placed
the tariff. In the proposals OF the
democrats for reductions In the pres
ent schedule, he said, lay danger OF
business depression and hard times.
The republican principle OF revision
only where scientific investigation
shows It necessary marked the straight
road to continued prosperity and COM
mercial peace.
Defends Tariff Laws.
In discussing the tariff, the president
said that it was untrue that to its door
could be traced the high cost Of living
and pointed out that conditions Of
living were alike over the world. A
political promise could not remedy sucn
condition he said.
AS an issue only less important tnan
the tariff the president placed the reg
ulation of trusts. He said the Sher-
man law had been enforced with sue
cess but added that specific acts OF un-
fair trade should be denounced as mis-
demeanors. that such acts might be
avoided or when committee punished by
summary procedure. Interstate busi-
ness enterprises. he said. should be
