Taft’s Speech of Accept ance Gives Party Record la Behalf of Labor. WU1 the People Trust Kxperiment- allsts and Theorists? (From Sherman’s Speech of Accept ance.) The overshadowing Issue of the cam paign really Is: Shall the administra tion Of President Roosevelt be ap proved. shall a party of demonstrated capacity Ip administrative affairs be continued In power, shall the reins of government be placed In experienced ' bauds, or do tbe people prefer to trust their destinies to an aggregation of I experimental malcontents and theor ists, whose only claim to a history is a party name they pilfered?

Taft and Foraker Shoulder to Shoul- der for Republican Principles. Another Democratic hope has been sldetra« ked. That was that United States Senator Foraker would not sup port the Taft candldaey. and would thus huimir bls chances of carrying the State of Ohio. The two big Ohioans fittingly met at the G. A. R. reunion In Toledo, and publicly and good-naturedly cast whai differences may have existed between them to the air. Mr. Taft's contribution to tbe trepty of peace was as follows: “It Is a pleasure for me to be here with Senator Foraker, because when governor of Ohio he gave me my first chance nnd took a good deal of risk in pultlrg a man of 211 on the bench of the Superior Court of Cincinnati. We nre about to enter—or rather have en tered—a great oratorical campaign. It Is a pleusure to think in this presence that we ure going to stand In the campaign shoulder to shoulder, with the full strength of tbe Republican party.” In response Senator Foraker denied that enmity hud existed between Mr Taft and himself, and said: "Under the circumstances I hope I may be pardoned If I say here In this presence—tbe first time I have bad opportunity to say It—that there Is not row nnd so far as I know there never bus been tbe slightest ill feeling of any kind tietcveen Mr. Taft and myself. "If there Is anything I have a right to claim beyond another, it Is that 1 am Republican three hundred and slxty- flve days tn the year. 1 have my pref erences sometimes ns to who should receive the honors of the party, and everybody generally finds out what they nre. But I am one of those old fash ioned Republicans who settle every such question at the convention. When the Chicago convention nominated Mr. Taft to he the Republican candidate for Presidency this year, that Instant became my leader. He has been lender ever since, and he will be leader until the polls close on the night of the election.” Mr. Foraker followed with an estl- mate of Judge Taft's fitness for the office he seeks by repeating what Bishop Fallows had 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 be has filled, has been such as to qualify Mr. Taft al most beyond every other man for the Presidency. We are going to elect him, and if ho does not make a success of it, it will be his own fault.” Senator Foraker followed this state ment with a review of his early ac quaintance with Judge Taft, and the favorable Impression he then gained of him.

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 more, 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 haz 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.
