As these prin ciples and policies have given me whatever political strength I possess, the action of the convention not only renews my faith in them, but strength ens my attachment to them. A PLATFORM IS BINDING— I shall, in the near future, prepare a more formal reply to your notification, and, in that letter of acceptance, will deal with the platform in detail. It is sufficient at this time, to assure you that I am in hearty accord with both the letter and the spirit of the plat form. I endorse it in whole and in part, and shall, if elected, regard its declarations as binding upon me. And I may add, a platform is binding as to what it omits as well as to what it con tains. According to the Democratic idea, the people think for themselves and select officials to carry out their wishes. The voters are the sov ereigns: the officials are the servants employed for a fixed time and at a stated salary to tfo what the sov ereigns want done, and to do it in the way the sovereigns want it done. Plat forms are entirely in harmony with j this Democratic idea. A platform an nounces the party's position on the | questions which are at issue; and an official is not at liberty to use the au j thority vested in him to urge persona) views which have not been submitted to the voters for their approval. If I one is nominated upon a platform which Is not satisfactory to him, he must, if candid, either decline the nomination, or, In accepting it, propose an amended platform in lieu of the one adopted by the convention. No such condition, however, confronts your candidate, for the platform upon which I was nominated not only con tains nothing from which I dissent, but it specifically outlines all the reme dial legislation which we can hope to secure during the next four years. REPUBLICAN CHALLENGE AC CEPTED— The distinguished statesman who received the Republican nomination for President Bald, in his notification speech: "The strength of the Repub lican cause in this campaign at hand is the fact that we represent the poli cies essential to the reform of known abuses, to the continuance of liberty and true prosperity, and that we are determined, as our platform unequiv ocally declares, to maintain them and carry them on." In the name of the Democratic par ty, I accept the challenge, and charge that the Republican party is responsi ble for all the abuses which now exist in federal government, and that it is impotent to accomplish the reforms which are imperatively needed. Fur ther, I can not concur in the statement that the Republican platform unequiv ocally declares for the reforms that are necessary; on the contrary, I af firm that it openly and notoriously dis appoints the hopes and expectations of reformers, whether those reformers be Republicans or Democrats. So far did the republican convention fall short of its duty that the Republican candidate felt it necessary to add to his platform in several important par ticulars, thus rebuking the leaders of the party, upon whose co-operation he must rely for the enactment of reme dial legislation. dial legislation. As I shall, in separate speeches, dis cuss the leading questions at issue, I shall at this time confine myself to the paramount question, and to the far-reaching purpose of our party, as that purpose Is set forth in the plat form. SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE?— Our platform declares that the over shadowing issue which manifests it self in all the questions now under dis cussion, is "Shall the people rule?" No matter which way we turn; no matter to w r hat subject we address ourselves, the same question corn fronts us: Shall the people control their own government, and use that government for the protection of their right, and for the promotion of their welfare? or shall the representatives of pedatory wealth prey upon a de fenseless public while the offenders secure immunity from subservient offi cials whom they raise to power by un scrupulous methods? This is the is sue raised by the "known abuses" to which Mr. Taft refers. PRESIDENT'S INDICTMENT AGAINST THE PARTY— In a message sent to congress last January, President Roosevelt said: "The attacks by these great corpora tions on the administration's actions have been given a wide circulation throughout thhe country, in the news papers and otherwise, by those writ j ers and speakers who, consciously or unconsciously, act as the representa tives of predatory wealth—of the wealth accumulated on a giant scale , by all forms of iniquity, ranging from I the oppression of wage earners to un fair and unwholesome methods of ity or I Am Going To Advertise The Regent $3.50 Shoe For Men Vice, Patent Leather and Gun Metal, for TEN DAYS ONLY $ 3.00 NATHAN'S Shoe Factory. East Pine Street ■ '/j crushing out of competition, and to de frauding the public by stock-lobbing and the manipulation of securities. Certain wealthy men of this stamp, whose conduct should be abhorrent to every man of ordinary decent consci ence, and who commit the hideous wrong of teaching our young men that phenomenal business success must or dinarily be based on dishonesty, have, during the last few months, made it apparent that they hSve banded - to gether to work for a re-action. Their endeavor is to overthrow and discredit all who honestly administer the law, to prevent any additional legislation which would check and restrain them and to secure, If possible, a freedom from all restraint which will permit every unscrupulous wrong-doer to do what he wishes unchecked, provided he haB enough money."—What an ar raignment of the predatory Interests! Is the president's idictment true? And, If true, against whom was the Indictment directed? Not against the democratic party. MR. TAFT ENDORSES THE INDICTMENT. Mr. Taft says that these evils have crept in during the last ten years. He declares that, during this time, some "prominent and influential mem bers of the community, spurred by financial success and in their hurry for greater wealth, became unmind ful of the common rules of business honesty and fidelity, and of the limita tions imposed by law upon their ac tions;" and that "the revelations of the breaches of trusts, the disclosures as to rebates and by railroads' the accumulating evi dence of the violations of the anti-trust laws, by a number of corporations, and the over-issue of stocks and bonds of interstate railroads for the unlaw ful enriching of directors and for the purpose of concentrating the control of the railroads under one management," —all these he charges, "quickened the conscience of the people and brought on a moral awakening." During all this time, I beg to re mind you, republican officials presid ed in the executive department, filled the cabinet, dominated the senate, ocntrolled the house of representatives and occupied moBt of the federal judge ships. Four years ago- the republi an platform boastfully declared that since 1860—with the exception of two years —the republican party had been in control of part or of all the branches of the federal government; that for two years only was the democratic party in a position to either enact ot repeal a law. Having drawn the sal aries; having enjoyed the honors; hav ing secured the prestige, let the re publican party accept the responsibil ity! discriminations REPUBLICAN PARTY RESPONSIBLE Why were these "known abuses" permitted to develop? Why have they not been corrected? If existing laws are sufficient, why have they not been enforced All of the executive mach inery of the federal government is in the hands of the republican party. Are new laws necessary? Why have they.not been enacted? With a re publican president to recommend, with a republican senate and house to carry out his recommendations, why does not the republican candidate plead for further time in which to do what should have been done long ago? Can Mr. Taft promise to be more strenuous in the prosecution of wrong-doers than the present execu tive? Can he ask for a larger major ity in the Benate than his party now has? Does he need more republi cans in the house of representatives or a speaker with more unlimited au thority? WHY NO TARIFF REFORM? The president's close friends have been promising for several years that he Vould attack the iniquities of the tariff. We have had intimation that Mr. Taft was restive under the de mands of the highly protected indus tries. And yet the Influence of the manufacturers, who have for twenty five years contributed to the repub lican campaign fund, and who in re turn have framed the tariff schedules, has been sufficient to prevent tariff reform. As the present campaign ap proached, both the president and Mr. Taft declared In favor of tariff revlg after ought s has ay at I elec tafter ! with ion, but set the date of yet the election. But the prffBfii to bear by the protected tn been great enough to ptiefi tempt et tariff reform befoi tlon; and the reduction the election Is so hedgbip qualifying phrases, that bo timate with accuracy the of tariff reform to be exm of republican success.
