Cincinnati, July 28. Taft was of.
flclally notified of his nomination as
the republican candidate for prest
dent bv Senator William Warner, of
Missouri, on the lawn of the residence
of Charles P. Taft, his brother, this
afternoon. The formal notification
and acceptance formed the climax to
the greatest day of celebration Cincin
nati ever saw.
6lnce early this morning daylight
fireworks have been exploded and the
city Is simply covered with bunting
and decorations of all kinds. It Is a
celebration wlthut regard fr party as
far as a big majority of the residents
are concerned. '
Cannons booming from the hill tops
about the city marked the opening
program at 7 o'clock. Crowds made
their way to the Taft residence where
a singing and prayer service were
held and flag ceremonies were car.
rled out
A flag which was made of materi
al sent by the republicans of the
Philippines, was run up amid thun
derous applause, as Taft stood with
uncovered head, saluting the Star
and etrlpes. v
At 10:30 the notification commit
tee headed by Warner, left the hotel
and were escorted through miles of
decorated streets to the residence.
where the senator began to make his
speech.
The address was brief, and then
Taft, In accepting, began his speech,
which is the keynote of the campaign.
wnilam H. Taft spoke as follows
"Senator Warner, and gentlemen of
the committee: I am deeply sensl
ble of the honor which the republl
can national convention conferred up
on me In the nomination which you
formally tender.
"I accept It with the full apprecia
tion of the responsibility It Imposes.
Gentlemen, the strength of the repub
lican cause In the campaign at hand
Is, In fact, that we represent policies
essential to the reform of known
abuses, to the continuance of liberty
and to prosperity and that we are
determined to maintain them and
carry them 8n. For more than 10
years this country has passed through
an epoch of matcrlal'development far
beyond any that has ever occurred In
the world before.
"In Its cource certain evils have
crept In. Some prominent Influential
members of the community, spurred
by financial success and In a hurry
for greater wealth, became unmlnd
ful of the common rule of business
honesty and fidelity and the Hmjta-
tlons imposed by law upon their ac
tlons. This became known. Revela'
tlons of breaches of trust, disclosures
as to rebates and discriminations by
railways, accumulating evidence, the
violation of the anti-trust laws by a
number of corporations, the over
Issue of stocks and bonds on Inter
state railways for unlawful enrich
ing of directorates and for the pur
pose of concentrating the controls of
railroads In one management, all
quickened the conscience of the peo
ple and brought on a mornl awaken
ing among them that boded well for
the future of the country."
Labor Question. .
In discussing the labor question,
Taft said:
"The Interests of the employer and
the employe never differ except when
it comes, to a division of the joint
profit of labor and capital Into divi
dends and wages. To give employes
'the proper position In such a con
troversy, to enable them to maintain
themselves against their employers
having great capital, they may well
unite, because In union there Is
strength and without It each Individ
ual laborer and employe would be
helpless. '
The promotion of Industrial peace
through the Instrumentality of a trade
agreement Is often one of the results
of such a union when it Is Intelll
' gently conducted. There Is a large
body of laborers, however, skilled and
unskilled, who do 'not organize Into
unions. Their right before the law
Is exactly the same as those of union
men and are to be protected with the
same care and watchfulness.
A Right to Strike-.
"In order to Induce the employer
into compliance with a request for
ami Left and Sliows Alleged Differ.
changed terms of employment, work
men have a right to strike In a body.
They have the right to use such per
suasion as they may, provided it does
not reach the point of duress, to lead
reluctant co-laborers to Join them In
the union against the employer and
have the right If they chose, to ac
cumulate funds to support those en
gaged in a strike, to delegate the of
ficers the power to direct the action
of the union and. withdraw them
selves and their associates from deal
Ing with or giving custom to those
with whom they are In controversy.
"What they have not the right to
do Is to injure the employer's prop
erty, to Injure the employer's bus!
ness by the use of threats or meth
ds of physical duress against those
who would work for him or deal
with him, or by carrying on what is
sometimes known as a secondary boy.
cott against customers or those with
whom he deals In business. All those
who sympathize with them may unite
to aid them In their struggle, but
they may not through the instrumen
tallty of threatened or actual boycott
compel third persona against their
will, and having no Interest in the
controversy, to come to their assist
ance. Threatened' unlawful Injuries
to business like those described above
can only be adequately remedied by
injunction to prevent them.
Injunctions.
"It has been claimed that Injunc
tions do not Issue to protect anything
but property rights and that business
Is not property rights, but such a
proposition is wholly Inconsistent with
all the decisions of the courts. It Is
the fundamental rule of jurisprudence
that no man shall be affected by a
judicial proceeding without notice"
and hearing.
"This rule, however, sometimes has
exception In the Issuing of temporary
restraining orders commanding the
defendant In effect to maintain status
quo until a hearing. Such a process
should issue only in rare cases where
the threatened change In status quo
would Inflict Irreparable Injury If the
time were taken to give notice and
hold a summary hearing. In some
state courts and In fewer federal
courts the practice of Iseulng tempor
ary restraining orders without notice
merely to preserve status quo on the
theory that it won't hurt anybody,
has been too common. This has made
the laboring man feel the injustice
done In the Issuance of a writ without
notice. I conceive that In the treat
ment of this question It Is the duty of
citizen and legislator to view the sub
ject from the standpoint of the man
who believes himself to be unjustly
treated as well as from that of the
community at large.
"I have suggested the remedy of
returning In such cases to the orig
inal practice under the old statute of
the United States and the rules In
equity adopted by the supreme court,
which did not permit the Issuing of an
injunction without notice. In this re
spect the republican convention
adopted another remedy that, with
out going so far, promises to be ef
ficacious in securing the proper cn-
sideratlon in such cases by courts by
formulating Into a legislative act the
best present practle. With respect
to notice, the democratic platform
contains no recommendation. Its only
intelligible declaration In regard to
Injunction suits Is the reiteration , of
the plank In the platforms of 1896
and 1904 providing that In prosecu
tions for contempts In federal courts
where violation of the order constitut
ing contempt, Is outside the presence
of the courts there shall be a Jury
trial. The extended operation of such
a provision to weaken the power of
the courts In the enforcement of law.
ful orders can hardly be overstated.
"The administration of justice lies
In the foundation of the government.
The maintenance of the authority of
the courts Is essential unless we are
prepared to embrace anarchy. Never
In the history of the country has there
been such an Inslduous attack upon
the Judicial system as the proposal
to Interject jury trial between all or
ders of the courts made after a full
hearing and the enforcement of such
orders.

300 CHINESE

Canton, China, July 28.
Three hundred Chinamen were

mends the adoption of a postal sav-
Ings bank system In which, of course
the government would become respon
sible to the depositors, for the pay
ment of principal and Interest. The
democratic platform recommends
tax on national banks and such state
banks as may come In the nature of
enforced Insurances to raise the
guaranty fund to pay depositors of
any bank which fails. How state
banks can be Included In such
scheme under the constitution Is left
In the twilight zone of states' rights
and federalism so frequently dim
Ing the meaning and purpose of the
platform. The proposition Is to tax
the honest and prudent banker to
make up fqr the dishonesty and Im
prudence of others. If the proposal
weer adopted exactly as the demo
cratic platform suggests It would
bring the- whole banking system of
the country down In ruins and this
proposal Is itself an excellent illus
tration of the fitness for national
control of the party which will com
mit itself to a scheme of this nature,
without the slightest, sense of respon
sibility for the practical operation of
the law proposed.
"In the matter In putting a limit
upon Asiatic immigration referred to
In the democratic platform It Is suf
ficient to say that the present repub
lican administration shows Itself able
to minimize the evils suggested and
the subsequent republican adminis
tration can be counted upon to con
tinue the same policy. Another plank
in the democratic platform refers
to the failure of the republican con
ventlon to express an opinion In favor
of the publicity of contributions re
celved and expenditures made In elec
tlons. "Here again we contrast our op
ponents' promises with our own acts.
Great Improvement has taken place
under republican auspices In respect
to the collection and expenditure of
money for this purpose. If elected I
shall urge upon congress that a law
be passed requiring the filing In a
federal office of a statement of con
tributions received by committees and
candidates In elections'. In my judg-

People in the telephone pay station

Ported to Have Abdicated.
New York, July 28. "There are
no more diamonds left In any rail

statement made today by George
Gould, the railway magnate, upon his
return from Europe with his wife
and children.
The reports that Gould had capit
ulated to Harriman and surrendered
control of all his lines to him spread

anxious to hear what Gbuld had to
say. His reply to the questions was
his reference to the tinsel crowns.
Gould refused to sa ywhether Har
riman will become director of the
Gould lines, but said that he was
glad to have him. He said the West
ern Pacific situation had brought
bout for a time a discontinuance of
his business relations with Harriman.
He said he and Harriman were good
friends.
