SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE He Favors Regulation of Combinations of Capital and Say Injunctions Should Issue Only in Rare Cases. Judge William II. Taft, at noon Tuesday la Cincinnati accepted the nomination of the Republican party to be its candidate for the Presidency.' The quaint old residence of Charles P. Taft once in the outlying residence portion of the city, but now almost swallowed up by big business build ings that have surrounded It, was the center of a demonstration unequaled In Cinclnnatl s history. Political lead ers from far and near gathered, while from the city and surrounding su burbs the friends, neighbors and ad- mirers of Judge Taft among his own towns people turned out ln countless numbers and without regard to party affiliation. The notification of the can didate was made the occasion of a hol iday from early morning; the down town strect3 were filled with great throngs, waving flags, shouting and moving in a seemingly endless' stream toward the Taft residence at Fourth and Pike streets. The thoroughfares in front of the old homestead where Judge Taft will make his campaign- headquarters dur ing September and October were fair ly choked with the early arrivals and the platoon of ' police stationed in the neighborhood had all it could do to keep a way open for the guest3 and members of the notification commit tee, who were provided with seats on the big front porch, and with stand ing room on the spacious lawn. Senator William Warner, of Missou ri, past commander of the G. A. R., headed the notification committee, which .consisted of a memiber from every state, territory and island pos session of the United States. The rep lesentatives of the committee were crosen from the delegations attend ing the nominating convention at Chi cago. The chief function of the next ad ministration, Mr. Taft declares, is to perfect the machinery by which these standards may bo maintained, and by which the law breakers may be prop frly restrained and punished, but which shall operate with sufficient ac curacy and dispatch to interfere with business as little as possible. He sets forth that such control Is now inade quate, and recommends new legisla tion making more effective the work of the Department of Commerce and La bor, of Agriculture, of Justice, and of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and suggests clasification of the in dustrial corporations having power and opportunity illegally to restrain trade, and suggasts legislation requir ing them to submit to proper publicity and the supervision of the Department orf Commerce and Labor. He favors refutation of combinations of capital, not their destruction, which he de clares the Democratic platform advo cates. The Dingley tariff he says, in a number of schedules, exceeds tho difference between the cost of produc tion abroad and it home, including a reasonable profit to the American pro ducer. In v some cases, however, he says the tariff Is not sufficiently high, adding that a revision of the tariff under Republican principles will make the disturbance to business, Incident to such a change, as little as possible. The right to form labor unions and to strike, he upholds, but declares la-, bor cannot lawfully injure an employ er's business by threats or physical duress against tho&e who would work for hirn, or by secondary boycott. Such threatened unlawful injuries can only be remedied by an injunction to pre vent them. Injunctions should issue only In rare cases before the defend ant has been notified. The nominee sugests the returning to the old rule of the Cnited States Supreme Court, which does not permit of an Injunction being issued until notice is served. He advocates Postal Savings Banks, at the same time attacking the Demo cratic recommendation for a tax on National banks. He urges reciprocal free trade with the Philippines, "with such limitations as to sugar and tobac co as will protect domestic Interests." He favors more elastic currency; equal rights for negroes; continuation of the Roosevelt policy favoring a stronger army and navy; the estab lishment of a National health bureau; improvement of waterways and puth licity of campaign contributions. He" favors the establishment of an Income tax "when the protective systeny of customs and the Internal revenue tax, shall not furnish Income enough for Govermental needs." He says, "With respect to the elec tion of Senators by the people, pei sonally I am Inclined to favor it, but it Is hardly a party question." He asserted, in comparing the plat forms of the two old parties that the Republican declaration is progressive and regulative, while the Democratic Is radical and destructive. He concluded with the declaration that as between the two old parties the difference consisted of the fact that with Republican success there would be prosperity; with Democratic victory there would be disaster.
