PRESIDENT ASKS REPUBLICANS TO VOTE STRAIGHT TICKET
 AND DEFEAT TEDDY.
MAKES FIRST REAL SPEECH
Devotes Nearly Entire Time to Third Party Which Is First Time He Has Publicly Referred to
 It's Existence.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 2s.--President Taft made direct plea today to re- pubHcans to vote the republican tick ct in November in order to defeat the third party and MT. oosevelt
 It was his first prepared speech ac- cepting the Chicago nomination. It was delivered from q temporary stand erected on the grounds at Parramatta, before the republican club of Essex county, and hundreds of residents of Beverly.
 The speaker devoted particular at tention to the third party for the first time since it's formation and mention- ed Governor Wilson several times.
 There is one issue in this can- paign of even greater fundamental and permanent importance to the government and to the people than the tariff and prosperity" said the president, beginning his attack on the third party. That is the preserva- tion of the institutions of civil lib-
 erty as they were handed down 10

 A third party has split off from
 the republican party. not for any ono
 principle or indeed, on any principle

It has been sug- gested that republicans should vote the democratic ticket in order to de- feat Mir Roosevelt. Men who do this will act most blindly. for their votes, though unnecessary to defeat Mr. will aid the cause Qf dem- Dcracy with whom they have no synl- pathy, especially in the policy of tar If for revenue only, bring disturb ance of business and an end of pros perity.
 There is no need of our being pat or the defensive. The flood of un- just denunciations, to which the re- publican party has been subjected, has no real foundation or iustifica ton. It is we who should be in tho forefront affirming our right to con tinue to represent the people in al- tbority in government because ofwhat we have done, and because of the as- surance by what we have dones or what we shall continue to do in the =
