Uilng whou lu fact ha 1 only nmkiug
no!t. 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. :

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. .'
