declined to sign an agreement binding
the town to stand one-third of the cost,
in the light of the estimate and taxa-

While it was perfectly proper for the

be a lively contest to see which one of

attention that can be given it, as im-

BALTIMORE. Md, Spat ILL-Wil-
liam J. Bryan arrived in Baltimore
shortly before 8 o'clock this morning.
,He was at breakfast in his private car
as the train drew into the station.
There he was met by one lodlli recep-
tion committee, composed of leading
Democrats of the state and city.
among whom were Mayor .1. Barry
Mahool. former Governor Frank
Brown and State Senator Arthur P.
German. The presidential candidate
was driven In an automobile to the Ho-
tel Beividere. During,tho forenoon,
Mr. Bryan received a large number of
visitors at the hotel. About 11:30
o‘clock he wil go to Annapolis, where
he is to speak this afternoon, return-
ing to Baltimore in time for the meet-
ing at the Firth Regiment Armory
this evening. Mr. Bryan will leave for
Philadelphia at 8 a. to. tomorrow.
“A few plain, simple sentences
from Mr. Taft will be worth more
than the eulogy that the president pro-
nounced. The president's endorsement
is of no value unless the president will
agree to stay in Washington and see
that Mr. Taft makes good."
In these words, William Jennings
Bryan summed up his opinion of
the letter of President Roosevelt com-
mendatory of Mr. Taft. soon after the
Democratic candidate arrived in this
city. “It was expected, of sour .
that President Roosevelt would an -
port Mr. Taft." said Mr. Bryan. ”tie
could hardly do less, in view of the
fact that be selected him as the ad-
ministration candidate, and supported
him with all the influence that the ad-
ministration could bring to hear. The
president's letter, hOWever, may be ob-
jected to as irrelevant, immaterial and
not the best evidence. If Mr. Taft
were dead, it would be interesting to
known from Mr. Roosevelt what he
knew of Mr. Taft's opinions and work,
but, as Mr. Taft is alive and able to
speak for himself. it is hardly neces-
sary for Ur. Roosevelt to tell us what
1' Mr. Taft will do. ‘
“Mr. Taft is running upon a platform
which was so unsatisfactory that he
had to amend It in several Important
particulars, and yet. even as amended,
it gives the public no definite idea as
to what Mr. Taft stands for. Mr. Taft
has made some speeches, and promis-
es to make more. The ones he has
already made have not thrown any
light upon the political situation, but
it is to be hoped that he will yct con-
clude to define his position with suffi-
cient clearness to enables the public
to know what he stands for. It is not
sufficient for the president to say that
Mr. Taft is a friend labor. That is
a sub set upon which t c laboring man
is en itled to-an opinion, and Mr.
Tatt's friendship is to be determined
not by the president‘s endorsement,
but by the measures which Mr. Taft
advocates. Mr. Taft believes that the
labor organizations should come under
the operation of the anti-trust Inw.
thus dealing with the men who belong
to the labor organizations as if they
were merchandise, for the anti-trust
law deals with the monopoly of the
products of labor.
"Mr, Taft is opposed to trial by
jury in cases of indirect contempt,
thus denying to therlaboring man a
safeguard which is guaranteed to ev-
ery man tried in a criminal court. Mr.
Taft does not agree with the laboring
man in regard to the use of the injunc-
tion in labor disputes. No words of
praise from the president can change
Mr. Taft's attitude on this question. or
make that attitude more acceptable to
the wage earners.
“Mr. Taft's position on the trust
question is not changed by tne presi-.
dent's endorsement. The president
himself has not succeeded in putting
any trust magnates in the peniten-
tiary. and only a few of the trusts
have been disturbed. If Mr. Taft is no
more successful than the president in
his attack on the trusts, he will not
satisfy the expectations of the "public.
There are more trusts in the country
now than there were when President
Roosevelt was inaugurated, and Mr.
Taft favors a weakening, rather than
a strengthening of the antitrust law,
for he has advocated an amendment
that will limit the operation of the
law to unreasonable restraint of
trade. ~
"On the tariff question Mr. Taft has
tallied to express himself with clear-
ness. The Republican platform does
not use the word ‘Reduction.’ It only
promises revision, and Mr. Taft has
construed that to mean that some
schedules will be lowered and some
the average will be lower or higher
than it is now.
“And so in regard to all the ques-
tions which are at issue. Mr. Taft
must make his position known. He
cannot rely upon the president's en-
dorsement. An endorsement on a. note
is not necessary if the maker of the
note is good, and the endorsement is
only good when suit can be brOught
against the endorser to endorse it.. it
Ms. Taft bade good record of his own
he would notneed to be endorsed by.
the president, and the president's en-
dorsement is of no value unless the
president will agree to stay, in Wash-
ington and see that Mr. Taft makes
good.. We ought‘to have some definite
statement as to what the public is to
its statement appears in the platform.
and no definite. conclusion can be
drawn from Mr. 'Taft's speeches: it
dries not answer the purpose for the
resident to say that he feels sure that
gin Taft will do what is ri ht or what
is Just. for there is a wide ,iffersnce of
opinion as to what is. right and as to
what il Just. A few plain, simple sen-
tences from Mr. Taft will be worth
more: the eulogy that the presi-
dent pronounces.“

ELECTION DAY in MAINE?—
————J
Both Republicans and Dem0crsts Pre-
dict s Victory at the Polls.
PORTLAND. Me" Sept. 14.--The
people began rendering their verdict
upon candidates and issues in the
state election at 7 a. in, today, with
beautiful Indian summer weather as
an incentive to go to the polls. They
were gIVen until 5 p. in. to deposit
their ballots, and in the first hour or
two the carefully marked papers drop
ped into the boxes as fast as autumn
leaves.
Both parties this year had the hens
fit of popular and well known men as
ticket leaders, Bert M. Fernaid. of Po
land, a large canner of com heading
the Republican ticket. while Obadiah
Gardner, of Rocklnnd, known to every
.grnuger in the state because of his
long term of service as the head of
that organization. headed the Demo
cratic ticket. .
The voters of the state were asked
to fill 286 Offices, including state, leg-
islative, congressional and county. For
these positions there were 731 candi-
dates; and with 20 cities, 425 to us
and 74 plantations. the work of [-
lecting and collating the ballots was a
long and tedious one. and it was not
expected tht the result would be def-
initely known until some hours after
the close of the polls.
If good weather, well defined is-
sues and popular candidates are an
incentive for heavy voting. there is
every indication that the result will
show an unusually large number at
the Dolls. .
The heaviest vote in the state was
in 1888, When»145,38i voters deposit
ed their ballots. Four years ago
about 130,000 went to the polls, and
Slightly more than that number two
years ago. Politicians, when they saw
the good weather today, freely predict-
ed that all records would be broken
in this year‘s election.
