In Bpfyeb at, Sandusky, O., Wwluwday, Sept. 0, Mr. Tuft clear ly nut forth tho principles which would guhlo his course- us prwldunt. II would dovoto his mt eiii'rglos, he said, to constructive recotninendatlons to congn-KS for IfglHlatlya which would clinch the Itocmevelt- policies of busi ness honesty, At the same time ho mndti It. clear that the regulation by the government of lutcmluto biiMlnesd should lie not only sound lu legal prin ciple, but that tho interpretation and enforcement of tho law should be both clear and yiwdy, to the end that Jolt Imute aggregation of capital should not be prevented or discouraged and that confidence- in the comraerclul sta bility, of the country should be on the firmest possible basla. , ,., Construction, , not doalructlon, will be the motive and inspiration of Taft's service la the White -House. Construc tion has bc.'n his aim, the spur end In splration of his public life from the beginning, and, the, presidency, will make no change In his methods or his character, He will be the same Taft who held the scales of Justice with ab solute equity on the bench, who vln dlcaled the rlliit of labor to freedom of action and the right of business to protection from unjust Interference. lie Is the same Taft who converted the Filipinos from subdued and sullen enemies into loyal and cordial friends and extlnguUtbed tho smoldering ashes of Insurrection by gaining the hearts of the people; the tame Taft who re fused a seat a the supreme bench of the United States so that he might ful AH bis duty to tho Filipinos and not leave his task in the islands undone. Oo Is the same Taft who adjusted with satisfaction to all concerned the question of the friars lands and did full Justice to the native? while deal ing in a spirit, of absolute fairness with those in whom rested the, titles to the property. lie is the same Taft who carried a message of peace acroeS the Faclfle and Impressed the orientals with the fact that the United States, while prepared nt all times to uphold the honor and dignity of the American name, was not grasping for territory and had no aggressive designs on the orient;:.:: y.- -.-.n,..? As tho campaign goes on It Is more and more evident that the American people fully, appreciate, their good for tune In the opportunity to elevate Wil liam IL Taft to the presidency and that the 8d of November: will, prove by aa, overwhelming majority : for the Republican , national candidates that the nation is glad to secure for the highest place In the land the talents which Mr. Taft has so eminently dis played throughout bis public carter and which have gained for hint the esteem not only of his countrymen, but of the world. , ,,T.'" Tart-Bryan A Contrast, One prime difference, among others, between Judge Taft and Colonel Bry an llos tu the fact that fate seems to have decreed that the career of the one shall be that of as Administrator in office and that of the other seeker after office. Since the early manhood Of each, that difference has typlfed them. With the one public office has been , but a. coveted post, aspired to with a view to some specific personal purpose, some temporary object, some passing advantage. With the ether, as American history for a score of years amply attests, public office has been the logical goal f a fixed and noble ambition, the recompense of the worthiest effort, and when occupied, whether as Jurist, as Insular governor or war secretary, has been ealously held aud watchfully guarded as the most honorable of trusts. The trend of our progress and the consummation of many of our dear est and proudest hopes as a nation de pend, more now than for decades, that, brushing aside all . more celflsh self Beckers after office, the demand of tbe country be" recognized for an lucum Ixmt In the presidency combining In his makeup administrative experience, honesty, sum, enterprise, prudence and firmness, coupled with a disinter csted devotion to duty, aud these, the Indispensable requisites of tho man of the hour, are possessed, as by. none other now In public lire, It Is generally conceded, by Judgo Taft ! The country realizes that a president must be a leader. Indeed, It demands that he shall be. But It wants leader ship that Is conscious of personal glo ry, that seeks results without sensa tionalism, that will not we:gh the tri umph of party or the perpetuation of individual Icflosnce against the de mands of peaceful progress and that stability of Interest of every kind which Is the concomitant of it. The nation desires power, but it is equally anxious for tranquillity. It purposes to be Just In peaceful pur suits, with ability to maintain that po sition among the great peoples of tho earth, tmf it does not covet glory at the expenie of even a single unneces sary upheaval. : .' IJifriii Urymn Coulij, U-t If rAM'teA. I' Oir) ot the win i fnjijuciit uuil M-m-Ing'y. plauKlble arguments In lii-linlf of j; Bryan's candidacy Is that us president ,1 of the United States ho could no u' harm, '..because the senate and the;' hmm also, if Republican," would pre- is vent him from having hi own way. jl Would any snno business man in the! I United States entertain such a suggis-1 j thm7 lie would reject it Indignantly and rebuke the person " making it. "What!" he would explain, "Place an untrustworthy person in charge of my affairs and trust to others to see that he Is not allowed to injure me? Tha very Idea Is an insult to my com mon sense!' .; .' ,,. , let day la and day out, In newspa per articles, speeches and talk between maii and mun, the argument we have quoted is applied to the greatcot office to the United States, the office the holder of which possesses more power, for good or 111, than any king or em peror and who can, even by a mere utterance, effect Incalculable evil to business interests throughout the Unit ed States. It Is subfltantlally the only plea offered In behalf of Bryan to the business men of the country, and the persistence with which It Is repeated suggests that those who present It think It is having some effect, or per haps which is more likely It la the only , plea they dare to present, con scious as they are of the otter unflt ncss of their. candidate and of the fa tility of seeking to gain support for him on his merits as a public man. r it la a false plea, as false as It Is shameless. Bryan In the White mouse could be and 'would be for four long years tbe most dangerous pest and plague the business Interests of this cation have ever encountered. The lack of ballast In his political career cp to date, his weather, vane veeriug to this or that point of the compass to catch a promising breeze, his lightning somersaults from one political bobby to anoljuer, his plaglariara of any nov elty that he thinks may attract the ffionghtless all these foreshadow the InKtaWHty of his course should he achieve tbe aim of his ambition and prove the menace that his very pres ence in the White House would be to business .Interests, ;: . ," ,' Neither senate nor house could pre vent him from doing Irremediable harm, and business men who had been deceived Into accepting him as harm less would have abundant time and ' teiaora.to repent " - What a contrast betvCeen the candi date whose strongest plea is that, If elected, he would be unable to do any thing very bad because congress would not let him and Wliiiam It Taft, of whom President McKlulcy said, "I am sending Taft to the Philippines be cause be Is the broadest and most un selfishly brave man I know end be cause he will carry the spirit of the constitution of the United, States In his yerjr, blood" Taft the. statesman, held la , esteem throughout the civilised world; the Just Judge and modest sin cere gentleman, "full," as one writer describes him, "of the knighthood un der which the honor and strength of a great, nation must be shielded in In sidious pence as In open war." Nobody suggests that. William II. Taft would need a congress to watch him or that any act of his would be a wrong or a menace to the business Interests of law abiding citizens. Nobody has any doubt that Taft as president would be guided solely by his sense ot duty, without regard to the hearing of his acts on his political or personal fortunes.- In brief, nobody would dare to present In behalf of Taft the plea which is at once an apology for and an Indictment of Bryan. Mack's Joke on Bryan. Norman E. Mack, Bryan's campaign chairman, Is fast whining a reputa tion as a humorist that should make Mark Twain look to his lanrels. Mack tells the Chicago reporters that New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island are going Democratic and that re ports from the west are "equally en couraging." As he makes no mention of Alabama and Texas It la to bo in ferred that he regards those states as doubtful. Mack's statement that Dem ocratic reports from the west are "equally encouraging" witlr those from New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island ought to qualify him for the position of soothsayer at the Delphic shrine, , When Brytn Is snow ed under by an avalanche of ballots from both directions Mack will be able to say that be told the truth to that extent The Nebraska "Populists to a man" have pronounced William Jennings Bryan as "the best representative of Populist principles." Doubtless Mr. Bryan regards that as high pralso. Elsewhere It will be regarded as an Indictment. It is no wonder that, the whistles of factories salute Candidate Taft throughout his tour. The salutes are those of welcome to the prosperous em ployment of both capital and labor. Borne ot the forgetful victlnrs of these examinations In supplementary pro ceedings remind one of Bryan's stato of mind regarding his. abandoned is sues. .'
