REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND LABOR
An Equality of Opportunitiea Se-
cured for Wage Earners.
William H. 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?
With a record of four decades of
wise legislation; two score years of
faithful administration; offering its
fulfilled pledges as a guaranty ot it«

DEMOCRATIC HOZE SIDETHACXED
THE ISSUE AND PARTY RECORD.
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.
