AS an issue only less important
than the tariff the President placed

| the Sherman law had been enforced
with success, but added that specific
acts of unfair trade should be de-
nounced as misdemeanors that such
| acts might be avoided or when COM
mitted punished by summary pro
cedure. Interstate business enter
prises, he said, should be offered a
Federal Incorporation law.
Aside from those issues. the Presi-
dent pointed to the record of the
Republican party, and particularly
during his own administration, as an
earnest promise of what it might be
expected to do in the future If the
people returned it to power in Novem-
Der. He attacked the Democrats at
other points than the tariff, making
special reference to the refusal OF
that party in the House of Repre-
sentatives to continue the naval
policy of two battleships a year. Taft
did not mention either Colonel Roose-
welt or Governor Woodrow Wilson by
name, but referred to each. While
he did not accuse either of embracing
the doctrines of Socialism, many of
the proposals they had made, the
President said, savored of it strongly.
He closed with a review of his ad-
ministrative achievements and ap-
pealed directly to the conservative
voters of the Democratic party to
Join with the Republicans at the polls,
Il know that in this wide country
there are many who call themselves
Democrats, who view with the same
aversion that we Republicans do the
radical propositions of change in our
form of government that are reck-
lessly advanced TO satisfy what is
supposed to be popular clamor, SAID
the President.
Appeals TO Democrats.

government with all the love and re-

ment by the whole people of the great
prosperity which the good crops and
the present conditions ought to
bring us.
ITO them | appeal, as TO all Re-
publicans, to join us in an earnest
effort to avert the political and eco
nomic revolution and business paral-

bring about. Such misfortune will

Says G. o. p. Is Save.
The President had heard officially
of his nomination at Chicago from
the lips of senator Elihu Root, OF

ton committee.

proval of what | have done under its
mandate and as an expression of con-
fdence that in a second administra-
ton | will serve the public well. The
issues presented to the convention,
over which your chairman presided
with such a just and even hand, made
a crisis In the party's life.
"a faction sought TO force the party

honored national tradition by en-
trusting the power of the Presidency
for more than two terms to n man,
and that man. one whose recently
avowed political views would have
committed the party to radical pro-
posals involving dangerous changes In
our present constitutional form of
representative government and our
independent judiciary.
This occasion is appropriate for

at the victory for the right won ait

Makes Bitter Attack.
After reviewing the legislative en-
actments of the Republican party
the President launched into a bitter
attack upon those responsible for
the popular unrest" of the present
day.
Started by sensational journalism
and unjust and unprincipled muck
raking," he said. "demagogues have
seized the opportunity to infame the
public mind that they might turn

vantage" In the formation of new
parties. the President said, these
