PRESIDENT TAFT NOTIFIED OF
HIS NOMINATION.


On August President Taft received
the official notification of his renom-
ination by the Republican national
convention. The ceremony took
place in the celebrated east room
of the White House and was attend
ed by several hundred prominent Re
publicans from all parts OF the coun-
try Mrs. Taft, Miss Helen Taft and
three other ladies were the only
women present, and the occasion
was informal. The president and
Senator Elihu Root, chairman of the
Chicago convention, occupied raised
platform and were the only speakers.
One of the most striking passages
of Senator Roots notification adj
dress was the closing declaration:
"Your title to the nomination is as
clear and unimpeachable as the title
of any candidate since political con-
ventions began The president be-
gan his reply with the statement: i
accept the nomination as an express
sion of confidence that in a second
administration ] will serve the peo-
pie WELL He reviewed the issues
of the campaign briefly reserving
the right To amplify his statement
later as the contest progresses and
the points Of difference become more
clearly developed.
According to the Associated Press
summary Of the address, President
Taft said that the supreme issue con-
fronting the voters is the mainte,
nance Of the nations institutions and
preservation of the constitution,
threatened on one hand by the DEM
ocratic party and on the other By
those Republicans who have left
their own party to try their fortunes
in a new one. Next in Importance
he placed the tariff, saying that dam
ger Of business depression and hard
times lay in the proposals of the
Democrats for reductions in the pres
ent schedules, while the Republican
principle of revision only where
scientific Investigation shows it nee
essary marks the straight road to

peace. In discussing the tariff the
president declared that it was I'M
true to say that the cost of high
living could be traced to its door,

all over the world, and political
promises cannot remedy such a sit

mention Colonel Roosevelt or Cover

to both, saying that while he did
not accuse either of Socialism, many
of the proposals they have advanced

/. A NEW PARTY BORN AND
CHRISTENED.

and his followers against the man
ner in which the recent national Re
publican convention at Chicago was
organized and controlled has found
vent in the formation of a new pollt-
zeal party, which was born at Chi
cago this week and christened PRO
gressiVe It had been generally an
ticipated that the new organization
would be named the National Pro
gressive Party" but the convention
decided to omit the word national.
Over a thousand delegates and
many thousands of spectators assem-
bled in the Chicago Coliseum last
Monday to begin the work of found
ing the new party. The convention
was organized by the election of Ex-
United States Senator Alfred J
Beyeridge of Indiana as chairman
and O. Il. Davis as secretary. Mr.
Beveridge made "a vigorous keynote
speech, outlining the principles and
objects Of the progressive movement
and attacking both the Republican
and Democratic parties for failing to
meet the needs and demands of the
people. Committees were appointed
and an invitation was extended to
Col. Roosevelt to address the as
sembly at noon on Tuesday.
The appearance of Col. Roosevelt
in the hall on the second day was
the signal for an enthusiastic DEM
onstration that lasted an hour. His
address, or confession of falth,' as
he termed it, was a Enthusiastically
strong presentation of his views on
existing conditions and the need OF
La new party to right. the wrongs and
supply the solution Of the problems
that confront the nation. He advised
against the admission Of negro del
egates from the southern states,
| where they represented nothing and
only served to arouse antagonism and
ill-feeling, but he justified the re-
cognition Of such delegates from
northern communities, where they
are selected on their merits and are
representative citizens.
The report of the credentials COM
mittee excluded the few negro dele
cations from the south and the con-
vention adopted the report without
dissent. The temporary organization
was made permanent and the con-
4 vention adjourned until Wednesday,
when the business before it was
completed.

A request for the reading of the pc

The petition contained records of

Senators Bacon and Bailey charged
that while the election took place near

Washington, d. c., Aug. 27.-Presi-

this he sent to congress a memoran-
DUN suggesting the adyisability of the
passage OF q resolution which would
declare that this measure was not
considered by this government a viola
ton Of the treaty provisions regarding
the canal,
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption of American
shipping from the payment Of tolls for
the use of the canal, Mr.. Taft says
the irresistible conclusion to be drawn
from 1t is that although the United
States owns, controls and has paid fol
the canal, it is restricted by the treaty
from aiding its own commerce in the
way that all the other nations Of the
world may freely do
In view Of the fact" Mr.. Taft con-
tinues, that the Panama canal is be-
ing constructed by the United States
wholly at its wv cost. upon territory
coded to 1t by the republic of Panama
for that purpose, and that unless II
has restricted itself, the United States
enjoys absolute rights Of ownership
and control, including the right to al
low its own commerce the use of the
canal on the terms it sees fit. The
whole question is: Has the United
