TAFT DECLARES VICTORY
GAN NOT Be OvERESTIMATEO

Standardization Taft issued
the following statement Saturday
night after he had learned of the final
action of the convention:
national convention of one of
the greatest parties is ordinarily i'm.
portant only as preliminary to a ma
tonal campaign for the election of a
president. The Chicago convention
Just ended is much more than this
and is in itself the end of pre-con-
vention campaign presenting a crisis
more threatening and issues more i'm
portant than those of the election
campaigns which is to follow between
the two great national parties
The question here at stake was
whether the Republican party was to
change it's attitude as the chief con-
servator in the nation of constitu-
tional representative government and
was to weaken the constitutional
guarantees Of life, liberty ana prop
erty and all other rights declared sac
red in the bill of rights, by aband-
oning the principles of the absolute
Independence OF the judiciary essen
tial to the maintenance of these
rights. The campaign carried ON to
seize the Republican party and make
it the instrument of reckless ambi-
ton and the unsettling of the funda-
mental principles of our government
was so sudden and unexpected that
time was not given clearly to show
10 the people and the party the dan
gers which confronted them. It was
sought to break the wise and valua-
Bile traditions against giving more
than two terms to any one man in
the presidency and the danger from
its breach could not be measured.
The importance of the great victory
which has been achieved cannot be
overestimated. All over this country
patriotic people are breathing more
freely that most serious menace
to our republican institutions has
been averted.
1t is not necessary to speak of the
result in November on the issues
which will arise between the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties in the
presidential campaign to follow. 1t
will be time enough to do that after
the action of the Baltimore conven-
ton. 1t is enough now to say that
whatever may happen in November.
great victory for the Republican
party and the United States has al
ready been won.
The party remains al great
powerful organization for carrying out
its patriotic principles as an agency
of real progress in the development of
the nation along the constitutional
lines upon which 1t was constructed
and has ever been maintained; and
it's future opportunity for usefulness
is as great as it's achievements in the
mast
