economic policy of the government in
reference to the tariff" said Taft to-
night. IF the change can be made
without halting prosperity. l sincerely
hope it may"
THE vote for Mr.. Roosevelt. the
third party candidate and for Mr..
Debs. the socialist candidate. is a
warning that their propaganda in ia
vor Of fundamental changes in our
constitutional representative govern
ment has formidab BILE support
While the experiment OF change
in the tariff is heing carried out by
the democratic administration 1t be-
hooves the republicans to gather again
to the party standard and pledge anew
their faith In their party's principles
to organize again to defend the con-
stitutional government handed down
to us by our fathers. We must make
clear to the young men of the country
who have been weaned away from
sound principles of government by a
promise of reforms, impossible of ac-
mplishment by mere legislat tiop,
that patriotism and common sense re-
quire them to return to a support Of
our constitution. Without compro-
missing principles. We must convince
and win back former republicans. and
we must reinforce our ranks with
loving democrats"
