acy of law, for the preservation or
constitutional government. for ma
tional honor, exercise q controlling
influence upon it's conduct. The lofty
purpose of its great originators a
been transmitted by spiritual success
sion from generation to generation
OF party leaders, and it is no idle
rhetoric when we say, as we have so
often said and are about to say again
to the American people:
Entitled to Vote of Confidence.
1--WE are entitled to your belief in
the sincerity of the principles we
profess and the loyalty of our candi-
dates to those principles, because we
are the party of lincoln and Sumner
and Seward and Andrew and Morton
and Grant and Hayes and Garfield ana
Arthur and Harrison and Blaine n
Hoar and Mckinley.
I'VE claim that we are entitled to
a popular vote of confidence at the
coming election, because we have
demonstrated that we are h party
of affirmative, constructive policies
for the betterment and progress or
our country In all the fields upon
which the activity and influence OF
government can rightly enter.
1--WE claim 1t because we have
shown ourselves a party OF honest,
efficient and economical administra-
ton In which public are
faithfully applied, appointments are
made on grounds of merit, efficient
service Is vigorously exacted, graft Is
reduced TO a minimum, derelictlons
from official duty are sternly pun
ished, and a high standard of official
morality Is maintained.
W. claim 1t because we have
maintained and promoted peace with
the world and the dignity, honor and
lust interests of the United states
among the nations.
We claim 1t because our party
stands now, as 1t has ever stood, for
order and liberty and for the main
tenance of the constitutional system
of government through which a SELL
controlled democracy for more than a
century has established all ~detractors
the competency of the American peo-
pie to govern themselves in law-apid-
ing prosperity.
We challenge the judgment of the
American people on the policies of
Mckinley and Roosevelt and Taft.
Mr.. Taft's Pledges Kept.
President Taft, in his speech of ac-
ceptance on the twenty-eighth OF
July, 1908, paid a just tribute to the
great service rendered by his prede-
cessor in awakening the public con-
science, inaugurating reforms, and
saving the country from the dangers
of a plutocratic government. He in
stanced the railroad rate law, the
prevention of railroad rebates n
determinations, the enforcement OF
the anti trust law. the pure food law,
the meat inspection law, the general
supervision and control of transpor-
tation companies, the conservation of
natural resources, and he proceeded
to say:
'The chief function of the next adj
ministration, In my judgement, Is dis
tinct from and a progressive develop
ment of that which has been per-
formed by President Roosevelt. The
chief function of the next admins
tration Is to complete and perfect the
machinery by which these standards
NAV be maintained, by which the law
breakers may be promptly restrained
and punished. but which will operate
with sufficient accuracy and dispatch
to interfere with legitimate business
as little as possible"
There spoke the voice of two Re-
publican administrations. and the
