The Taft Statement:

that llCll COIIll dulStOly ViCWo iildy
The Taft Statement:
A national convention of one
of the great parties is ordinarily
important only as a preliminary to
a national campaign for the cleo
ton of the president. The Chica-
go convention just ended is much
more than this, and is in itself the
end of pre-convention campaign
presenting crisis more threaten
ing and issues more important than
those of the election campaign
which is to follow between the two
great national parties.
The question here at stake was
whether the republican party was
to change ITS attitude as the CHIEF
conservator in the nation Of con-
stitutional representative govern
ment and was to weaken the con-
stitutional guarantees Of life, liber-
ty and property and all other rights
declared sacred in the bill of rights,
by abandoning the principle OF abb
solute independence of the Judicial
nv, essential to the maintenance OF
those rights.
The campaign carried on to
seize the republican party and
make it the instrument of reckless
ambition and the unsettling Of the
fundamental principles Of our gov
eminent was SO sudden and uneA-
pected that time was not given
clearly to show to the people
and the party the dangers which
confronted them.
1t was sought to break wise
and valuable tradition against CIV
ing more than two terms to any
one man in the presidency and the
danger from it's breach could not
be measured.
The Importance Of the great
victory which has been achieved
cannot be overestilnated. All over
this country patriotic people are
breathing more freely. that most
serious menace to our republican
institution has been averted.
1T is not necessary tonight to
speak of the result in November or
of issues which will arise between
the democratic and republican par
ties in the campaign to follow. 1t
will be time to do that after the
Baltimore convention. tits enough
now to say, whatever may happen
in November, great victory for
the republican party and the people
of the United States has already
been won.
The party remains as great,
powerful organization for carrying
out its patriotic principles as an
agency of real progress in the de-
velopment of the nation along the
constitutional lines upon which it
was constructed and has ever been
maintained; and its future oppor-
tunity for usefulness is as great as

Chicago speech August 8.
The platform Is now practically ready
for his managers. Roosevelt maintains
that 1t will be the most progressive
document yet seen. He expects to fin

California, who called 10 ask the former
President IL he would do as a body
guard to protect Roosevelt on his fall
campaign. The colonel laughingly OBJ

guards. What he needs most in the
campaign. he said, Is votes.
When asked about a rumor emanatng
from the South that a Roosevelt en-
issary had offered bribes TO colored
Taft delegates TO the recent Chicago
convention. the colonel exclaimed: It's

an accusation knew 1t was false, and
