| Taft's formal speech of acceptance
was delivered here today to the Off
| cial committee of notification headed
by Senator Root and few invited
guests,
| Although Mr.. Taft defined in detail
the issues OF the campaign as he
saw them he reserved the right to
amplfy This statement later as the
campaign develops.
The supreme issue that confronts
| the voters. the President declared,
| was that Of the maintenance of the
| nations institutions and the preser-
walton Of the Constitution, threat
| ened he said, on the one hand By
the Democratic party and ON the
other by those Republicans who had
left the party to try their fortunes
in new one. .ss'T w@Ha
Next In Importance Mr. Taft
placed the tariff. In the proposals of
the Democrats for reductions in the
present schedules, he said lay dan
ger of business depression and hard
times.
Iii discussing the tariff, the Fresi-
dent said that it was untrue that tn
its door could be traced the high cos.
of living aud pointed out that CON
ditions of living were alikee over
the world A political promise could
not remedy such :. condition he
said.
AS an issue only less important
than tho tariff the President placed
the regulation OF trusts.
Aside from those issue the Presi.
dent attacked the Democrats al
other points than the tariff, making
special reference to the refusal G!
that party in the House of Represen-
tatives to continue the naval policy
of two battleships a year. Taft did
not mention either Colonel Roosevelt
or Governor Woodrow Wilson by
name but referred to each. Will
he did not acuse either of embracing
the doctrines of socialism, many OF
the proposals they had made, the
President said savored of it strongly.
He closed with review of his ad-
ministrative achievements and ap-
pealed directly to the conservative
voters of the Democrats 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
rccklessly advanced to satisfy what
| is supposed to be popular clamor,"
said the President.
"They are men who revere the
Constitution and the institutions OF
their government with all the love
and respect that we coui1 possibly
| have
ITO them II apepal, as to all Re-
publicans, to join us in an earnest
effort to avert the political and
economic revolution and business
paralysis which Republican defeat
will bring about. Such misfortune
will fall most heavily on the wage
| Garner"
The President had heard officially
| Of his nomination at Chicago from
the lips of Senator Elihu Root OF
New York chairman of the notifica-
ton committee.
II accept It," he began, las an
| approval of what have done under
Its mandate and as an expression of
| confidence that In second admins
| t"ation / will serve the public well.
| The issues presented to the conven-
tion over which your chairman pre-.
sided with such just and even
| hand, made crisis in the party 8
/ life. A faction sought to force the
party to violate valuable and
time e-honored national tradition by
entrusting the power of the presl-
dency for more than two terms to
one man. This occasion is appro-
/ pirate for the, expression of pro-
