Mr. Taft's contribution to the treaty
of pence was as follows:
"It Is plenatire for me to be here
with Senator I'oraker, because when
C'vrrnor of Ohio he gave me aijr 0rt
chance and took a gd dl of rink In
putting a man of IS) on the bench of
the BtiiMTlor Court of Cincinnati. We
are about to enteror rather hare en
tereda great oratorical campaign. It
la a plraaure to think In tbta presence
that we are going to stant In the
campaign shoulder to Moulder, with
the full strength of the ItetwMk-en
party.
In response Senator roraker denied
that enmity bad existed between Mr
Taft and himself, and said:
"Under the circumstances I hepe I
may he pardoned If I say here In this
presence the first time I have bed
opportunity to say It that there Is not
row and so far as I know there neeer
has been the slightest ft! feeling ef any
kind between Mr. Taft and myself.
"If there Is anything I have a right
te claim beyond another. It Is that I
in Republican three hundred and sixty
five days In the year. I bsve my pref
ereucr sometimes as to who snouia
receive the honors of the party, and
eu-ryhody generslly finds out what they
re. But I am one of those old fash
lomd Republicans who settle every such
neetlen at the convention. When the
Chicago convention nominated Mr. Taft
te he the Republican candidate for the
Presidency this yesr. that Instant he
became my lender. lis has been my
lerder erer since, and he will be uiy
ender until the polls close on the night
of the election."
Mr. Foraker followed with an esti
mate of Julire Taffs fitness for the
office he seeks by repestlng what Bishop
Fallows hd said before him.
"I want to repeat It," he said, "that
his experience on the bench. In the
Philippines, as Secretary of War, In
the construction of the Panama Canal,
In all the positions he tins filled, has
been such ns to qualify Mr. Taft al- i
most beyond every other man for the :
Presidency. We are going to elect blm,
and If Tie does not nmke a success of
It, It will he his own fault."
Senator Foraker followed this state
ment with a review of hts early ac
quaintance with Judge Tnft, and the
favorable Impression he then gnlned of

WHERE SHERMAN STAUDS.

(From Sherman's Speech of Accept

The Republican party believes In the
equality of all men before the law ;
believes In granting labor's every re
quest that does not seek to accord
rights to one man denied to another.
Fair-minded labor asks no mors, no
less, and approves the record of the
Republican party because of that par
ty's acts.
I have helped to make my party's
record In the enactment of the Eight-
Hour law, the Employers' Liability
act, the statutes to minimize the nae
ard of railroad employes, the Child
Labor law for the District of Columbia
and other enactments designed especial
ly to Improve the conditions of labor.
