HE HAS MADE GOOD
TAFT HAS REDEEMED PLEDGES
MADE BY REPUBLICAN PARTY
TO THE PEOPLE.
WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED
Presidents Effective Work, His High
Character and His Great Admin
istratiVe Ability Commend Him to
the Voters of the United States.

In the language of the times, PTesi-
dent Taft has made good.
The fact can be demonstrated first
Of all by taking up one by one the
pledges of the platform of the conven-
ton which first nominated Mr.. Taft
and observing whether or, not they
have been fulfilled. It was upon the
pledges of that platform that certain
definite results would be accomplished
that the Republican party went be-
fore the country in 1908 and received
its overwhelming Endorsement. In the
hands of the president more than Of
any other one man has lain the per-
Torrance of those pledges. And if
they have been met, then to him must
so the lions share of the credit.
The platform promised tariff re-
vision at a special session of congress
Immediately following the Inaugural
ton of the president That pledge
was kept. The tariff was revised, as
promised, in the interest of the peo-
pie That revision did not close
single American factory or reduce the
wages Of any American workingmap,
and in the first year of it's operation
it converted a deficit of fifty millions
into surplus of thirty millions. It
contained a maximum and minimum
provision under which for the first
time the United States has been able
to obtain entrance for it's products in
to foreign markets upon as favorable
terms as the products of any other
nation. It provided a corporation tax
which has brought twenty-five mil
lions of dollars year into the treas
ury, besides compelling a degree of
corporation publicity which has had
a most wholesome effect 1t provided
a tariff board which, If permitted to
continue, would bring the possibility
Of informed, impartial, scientific tariff
revision. The Payne law was a full
fillment in good faith of the platform
pledge and It has been a boon, not
bane, to the country.
The platform called attention to the
need of a more elastic and adaptable
monetary system and promised to
work out that problem. The monetary
commission has made it's report in
fulfliment Of that pledge.
The platform promised to establish
a system Of postal savings banks.
That promise was fulfilled.
The platform promised an effective
enforcement of the Sherman act. The
columns of the daily papers for the
past two years have borne ample tes-
timony to the faithfulness with which
that promise has been kept.
The platform promised certain
amendments to the interstate CON-
merce law. That promise was kept
by the enactment of the commerce
court statutes, broadening the power

eminent has practically complete con-
