mite policy that can bs fairly attribut-
ed to that class of statesmen and re-
formers whose absorption and control
the Republican party escaped at Chi
cago and the Democratic party yielded
to at Baltimore.
Such Innovations Rejected
The Republican party, Mr.. Taft con
tinued, stands for none of these in
novations. 1t refuses to make changes
simply for the purpose of making a
change, and cultivating popular hope
that in the change something benef-
cial, underlined, will take place The
Republican party believes in progress
along the lines upon which we have
attained progress already.
The president then devoted some
time to a review of what has been &C.
complished during his administration,
including warm defense of the Payne
tariff bill In conclusion he said:
| cannot think that the American
people, after the scrutiny and educa-
ton of a three-months' campaign, dur
ing which they will be able to see
through the fog of misrepresentation
and demagoguery, will fail to recog.
nize that the two great issues which
are here presented to them are, first,
whether we shall RETAIN on a sound
and permanent basis, our popular con-
stitutional representative form of gov
ernment, with the independence of
the judiciary as a necessary key to the
preservation of those liberties that
are the inheritance of 1000 years, and,
second, whether we shall welcome
prosperity which. is just at our door

Appeal to All Conservatives.
/ 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 reckless
ly advanced to satisfy what is sup
posed to be popular clamor. They are
men who revere the constitution and
the institutions of their government
with all the love and respect that we
could possibly have, men who depre.
cate disturbance in business condi-
tions, and are yearning for that quiet
from demagogic agitation which is
essential to the enjoyment by the
whole people of the great prosperity
which the good crops and the present
conditions ought TO bring to US. To
them | appeal, as to all Republicans.
to join us in an earnest EFFORT to
avert the political and economic rev.
olution and business paralysis which
Republican defeat will bring about.
Such misfortune will fall most heav.
lily on the wage Garner. May we not
hope that he will see what his real
interest is, understand the shallowness
OF attacks upon existing institutions
and deceitful promises of underlined
benefits by underlined changes?
May we not hope that the great ma
iority of voters will be able to dis
tinguish between the substance of
performance and the fustian of prom.
Use: that they may be able to see that
those who would deliberately stir up
discomfort anG create hostility toward
those who are conducting legitimate
business enterprises, and who repre-
sent the business progress of the
country, are sowing dragons teeth?
Who are the people? They are not
alone the unfortunate and the weak;
they are the weak and the strong,
the poor and the rich, and the many
who are neither, the wage Garner and
the capitalist, the farmer and the pro-
fessional man, the merchant and the
manufacturer, the storekeeper and the
clerk, the railroad manager and the
employe--they all make up the people
and they contribute to the running of
the government and they have not
any of them given into the hands of
anyone the mandate to speak for them
as peculiarly the peoples representa-
tive. Especially does not he represent
them who assuming that the people
are the III fortunate and discontinued,
would stir them up against the re-
mainder of those whose government
alike this is. In other campaigns
before this, the American people have
been confused and misled and diverted
from the truth and from a clear per
ception OF their welfare by specious
appeals to their prejudfces and their
misunderstanding, but the clarifying
