EFT REPLIES TO
' BRYAN'S QUESTION
'People Have Ruled Through
Republican Party," Says
Candidate.
SPEAKS AT HOT. SPRINGS
Tells Virginia Admirers Many Ac
corapllshments of Roosevelt Ad
ministration Trusts Voters to
Aprove Course at Polls.
HOT SPRINGS. Va., Aug. 2L "The
people have ruled through the Republi
can party."
: This Is William H. Taft's answer to
Sir. Bryan's challenge. "Shall the people
rule?"
The answer was made In an address
the Republican Presidential candidate
made today before a gathering of several
thousand Virginia Republicans who came
to tha mountains to see and hear him,
and to celebrate Virginia day. To make
his point perfectly clear, Mr. Taft re
ferred to McKinley's first election as "one
of the most Intelligent and effective ex
pressions of popular will ever manifested
to the world, and the maintenance of the
gold standard and a protective tartrr by
his administration was a correct Interpre
tation of the people's will. "This was
shown to be so," he continued. "Dy even
a greater majority for the party In 1900.
"and a still greater majority In 19. when
Roosevelt was elected, and," he added,
"we well may submit to the country
whether his administration has not ex-
, pressed the will of the people.
Preceding Mr. Taft In a short address,
Congressman C. S. Slemp had this to say
In answer to the same question:
"Can It be possible that he (Bryan) had
reference to the political situation In Vir
ginia? Does he not know that under ex
isting laws 60 per cent of the white and
SO pr cent of the colored population of
voting age have been dtsrrancniseo.7 jjoes
h not know that they have no voice In
the government of either this state or
this Nation, and can he call .this a rule
of the people? No wonder Mr. Bryan will
make no political speeches In the South.
,. Conditions here don't square with his bat
tlecry." Croud of 50,000 Present.
Mr. Taft was surrounded during his
speech by approximately 60,000 people.
Accompanied by Mrs. Taft, Colonel B.
3, Allen and Representative Slemp. he
drove to the ball park in a carriage
with little Charlie Taft on the box with
the driver. Mr. Vorys and Alvah Mar
tin, National committeeman from Vir
ginia, accompanied the party in anoth
er carriage. The scene at the park was
typical of a real country picnic. There
were seats for .but a few hundred.
While the thousands had to stand or
sit on the ground, Mr. Taft occupied
a hastily erected speakers' stand In
front of the "bleachers" benches. He
was Introduced by Colonel Allen, and
his reception was cordial and his
speech heartily applauded.
Mr. Taft reviewed the record of the
Democratic party from the time of the
last Democratic administration In 1S93.
"During this period." he said, "it re
pealed the McKlnley tariff bill passed in
lfao and enacted the Gorman-Wilson
tariff bilL of 1S93. With the pros
pect of aDemocratlc tariff for revenue
and under the operation of the Gorman
Wilson tariff bill subsequently passed, a
period of industrial depression set in
which continued during the next Presiden
tial campaign of ISfti.
"As soon as the Republican party came
into power in 1S97." he said, "It repealed
the Gorman-Wilson tariff bill and enacted
the present Dingley tariff bill and with
' the assurance of an honest monetary
standard confidence was restored and a
period of business expansion and prosper
ity followed to an extent nevr before
' known in the history of the world.
"Wages were never better," he declared,
"and the high standard of wage-earners,
farmers and business men in point of com
fort and enjoyment of life, was advanced
beyond precedent. Attending this great
prosperity abuses developed, growing out
of the dishonesty of some prominent men
Intrusted with the management of the
business of others and of a greed of finan
cial power on the part of some, stlmulat-
ed by the enormous successes incident to
the combination of capital in large cor
porations. Roosevelt's Suppression of Evils.
"These abuses," he said, "chiefly took
the form of violation of the anti-trust law
and granting of rebates and discrimina
tions by railroads to large shippers. When
the extent of these evils was brought
home to the people," he said, "President
Roosevelt invoked the attention of Con
" gress and the public to them and proceed
ed to enforce the laws then on the statute
books.
1 "It was not," he said, "until Mr. Roose
velt, realising to the full the danger to
which our society was exposed unless the
offending corporations, railway and indus
trial, were made to obey and fear the
law, took vigorous action In the recom-
' mendation of new legislation and the en
forcement of the old. that anything very
. effective was done to check the growing
evil."
The Republican Congress which had
bean elected with Roosevelt In 1904. Mr.
Taft said, made a record for remedial
legislation along the lines recommended
by the President, which, as he has said
himself, has never been equaled In our
time. Mr. Taft referred to the railway
rate law. the law creating the bureau of
corporations, the pure food bill and the
meat inspection law most of which, he
declared, encountered the open, bitter op
position of the corporations and failed of
passage In the previous Congress.
Remedial Legislation Effective.
"What has been the result of this leg
islation and executive action?" he said.
"Secret rebates and unlawful discrimina
tions have been actually abolished. No
monopoly of business In any line Is now
maintained by a secret reduction of
freight rates to it which Is denied to
competitors."
He declared that "the " people have
ruled through the Republican party: I
have no hesitation in saying that, not
since the beginning of the government
has any other National administration
done so much for the cause of labor by
the enactment of remedial legislation as
Theodore Roosevelt and the Republican
Congresses elected and sitting during his
terms of office."
It Is true, he said, tha't additional leg
islation is needed to perfect the machin
ery for enforcing the principles laid down
by Mr. Roosevelt and declared in the
remedial statutes already passed.
"The present Congress." he added, "has
re-enacted the employers' liability act.
has strengthened the safety appliance
act. has passed the Government em
ployes' compensation act, has directed
investigations into mine districts, and
has passed & model child labor bilL It
lias not amended the Interstate commerce
law so as to prevent over-Issue of stocks
and bonds on interstate railroads, and it
has not amended the anti-trust law as
suggested by Mr. Roosevelt."
Democrats Need Experience.
Great care, he said, would be required
in the enactment of additional legislation,
"and the fact that the Democratic party
has had but little - recent experience In
the responsibilities of power, and but
little training In actual legislation, makes
the party and its distinguished leader
utterly oblivious of the necessity for care
and caution In the enactment of stat
utes which are to accomplish changes in
our social and business relations.
"Thejrseem to have an Impression that
an evil which is very insidious and elu
sive In its character when definite legal
description Is to be given of it and heavy
penalty Is to be prescribed for it may
be safely met by a statutory denuncia
tion hastily prepared in a day or a week
or a short period. We have seen within
the short four years of the present ad
ministration, such measures as govern
ment ownership of railways, election of
Federal Judges and National initiative
and referendum proposed as remedies for
our existing evils, and now withdrawn
under assurances that they will not be
again suggested."
Mr. Taft today made an appointment
to meet In Cincinnati on September 22
a delegation of negroes from tha Na
tional Baptist Convention, to be held In
Lexington, Ky., from September 15 to
21. It is said every state and terri
tory will be represented in the delegation.

UPHOLDS UGH BILL
XO ARGUMENTS AGAINST IT.
SAYS ROOSEVELiT.
President Sends Letter to Senator
Bnrkett in Answer to Ia
Follette's Attack.
LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. SI. Because of
the attacks made upon the Aldrich cur
rency bill by Senator La Follette, together
with his demanding of roll calls on that
bill. Senator E. J. Burkett today gave
out two letters from President Roosevelt
commending the Aldrich law unquali
fiedly. Senator Burkett received the fol
lowing letter from the President:
Oyster Bay, N. T.. Aug. 18. My dear Sen
ator: I heartily approva of the currency
measure, otherwise I would not have slirned
the bill. In my Judgment It would have ben
meet unwise not to have pass4 It, and not
a etngle argument worth heedlag; m ad
vanced against It. I enclose you a copy of
a letter I had already written on the subject.
Sincerely youra.
(Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Following is a copy of the letter re
ferred to by the President:
Ovater Bay, N. T.. July 23. My dear Mr.
Willis: I nave your letter of the 20th. My
motives were slmpiy those t have In signing
any good bill. Beyond all question, the
emergency currency bill was a good measure
and I have not heard it attacked with any
arguments which I thought even deserved an
answer. It Is avowedly only an emergency
measure; lasts merely the length of time to
permit us to develop permanent plans, but
during that time It makes provision for the
needed elasticity of currency and It does It
In an utterly unobjectionable manner. It
does not accomplish very much. It does ac
complish something, and titers la literally
not one objection that has been raised to It
worthy of paying the slightest heed to,
while, furthermore, It makes the admirable
provision for a commission to make a report
on the permanent currency plan.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

LING MOCK MARRIAGE.
Time Allowed for Reconsideration
ol Interlocutory Order

NEW YORK, Aug. 21. What is believed
to be a move for final adjustment of tha
marital difficulties of Helen Maloney,
daughter of Martin Maloney, of Fhila
delphla, and Arthur H. Osborne, of this
city, was the announcement today that
an Interlocutory decree of Judgment of
annulment of marriage had been granted

forth in a memorandum stating that the
decree - was filed in the County Clerk s

The three months from the entering of
the Interlocutory decree elapsed yester
day, and although It was said that no
final deqree of annulment had been signed
it was understood that today's action
was for the purpose of bringing the mat
ter before the Supreme Court for that
purpose.
A ceremony after the form of a mar
riage was performed at Mamaroneok, I
I., on December 18, 1905, Miss Maloney
giving the name of Helen Eugene. On
May 20 Justice McCall of the Supreme
Court, signed an Interlocutory decree an
nulling the ceremony, saying that there
never had been any marriage between
the plaintiff and the defendant. The court
directed that final judgment should not ba
rendered in the action until after the ex
piration of three months.
