PRESIDENT TAKES A RAP AT
THEODORE AND DEMOCRAT
IC CANDIDATE

W WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. l.
William Howard Taft today in the
historic east room of the White house
accepted the nomination of the Re
publican party for a second term as
president, in a speech that was mark
ed by sharp attacks on Theodore Roos-
evelt and the Democratic party. He
wasted no time in launching his at
tack on Roosevelt, saying at the very
outset of his speech:
"A faction which sought to force
the party to violate the valuable and
tlme-honored national tradition of en-
trusting the power of the presidency
for more than two terms to one man
and that the man is one whose re-
Gently avowed political views would
have committed the party to rad
zeal proposals, involving dangerous
changes in our present constitutional
form of representative government
and our independent judiciary"
ln discussing the subject of "popu-
lar unrest" the president said:
Il do not say that the two gentle
men, one who now leads the Demo
cratic party and the other a former
Republican who has left his party, il,
their attacks upon existing conditions
and in their attempt to satisfy the
popular unrest by promises of rem
edies are consciously embracing So
cIalism. The truth is they 40 moi
offer any definite explanation or pol.
icy by which the happy conditions
they promise are to be brought about
but If their promises mean anything,
they lead dircctl yroward the appro.
priation of What belong to one man
to another"
The president sounded warning as
to the evils tnat might be expected
to follow a Democratic victory and
pledged himself to uphold the con-
stitution ana representative rule by
the people.
