Roosevelt Is for Mr. Taft
Continued f.ott* Third pagv
lotus of our civilization; for its
proper solution we need not mere
ly honesty and courage, but judg*
ment, good sense and entire lair
mindedness. Demagogy i» such
a matter is as certain to work
evil as corruption itself. The
man who promises to raise the
wages of railroad employes to the
highest point and at the same
time to reduce the rates to the
lowest point is promising what
neither lie nor no one else can
perform; and it the elfort to per
form it were attempted disaster
would result to both shipper and
wage-worker, and ruin to the
business interests of the county.
The tnan to trust in such a mat
ter as this is the man who, like
Judge Taft, does not promise too
much, but who could not be
swayed from the path ol duty bv
any argument, by any consider
ation; who will wage relentless
war on the successful wrongdoer
among railroad men as among all
other men: who will do all that
can be done to secure legitimate
ly low rates to shippers and ab
solute evenness among the rates
thus secured; but who will neith
er promise nor attempt to secure
rates so low that the wage-earner
would lose his earnings and the
shareholder, whose money built
the road, his profits. He will
not favor a ruinous experiment
like government ownership of
railways; he will stand against
any kind of confiscation of hon
estly acquired property, but he
will wnrk effectively for the most
efficient type of government sup
ervision and control of railroads,
so as to secure just and fair treat
ment of the people as a whole.
What is here said as to his
attitude on the railway question
applies to the whole question of
the trusts. He will promise
nothing on this subject unless he
firmly believes he can make his
promise good. He will go into
no chimerical movement to des
troy all great business combina
tions, for this can only be done
by destroying all modern busi
ness, but he will in practical
fashion do everything possible to
secure such efficient control on
behalf of the people as a whole,
over these great combinations as
will deprive them of the power to
work evil. Mr- Taft’s decision
in the Addystone Pipe Line case
yvhile on the bench is proof, by
deeds not by words, of the far
sighted wisdom with which he
serves the interests of the whole
people even when those of the
most powerful corporation are
hostile thereto.
If there is one body of men
more than another whose sup
port I feel I have a right to chal
lenge on behaltof Secretary Taft
it is the body of wage-workers of
the country. A stauncher friend,
a fairer and truer representative,
they cannot find within the bord
ers of the United States. He will
do everything in his power for
them except to do that which is
1 wrong, he will do wrong for no
i man. and therefore can be trust
I ed by all men.
Mr. Taft has been attacked be
! cause of the injunctions he de
livered while on the bench. I
am contented to rest his case on
these very injunctions; I main
tain that they show why all our
people should be grateful to him
i and should feel it sale to entrust
their dearest interests to him.
Most assuredly he never has
j yielded and never will yield to
threat or pressure of any sort, as
little if it comes from labor as if
, it comes from capital; he will no
j more tolerate the violence of a
mob than the corruption and op
pression and arrogance of a cor
poration or of a wealthy man.
He will not consent to limit the
power of the courts to put a stop
to wrongdoing wherever found.
This very fact should make the
labor people feel a peculiar con
fidence in him- He has incurred
the bitter hostility of foolish and
bigoted reactionaries by his,
frank criticsm ol the abuse of
the power of injunction in labor J
disputes, and he is pledged to do 1
all he can to put a stop to the I
abuses in the exercise of the!
power of injunction, lie will!
never promise anything that he
will not do all in his powet to
perform- He can always be
trusted to do a little better than
his word, and the fact that be
fore election lie will not promise
the impossible is in itself a guar
antv that after election all that
is possible will be done,
His record as a judge makes the
whole country his debtor. His
actions and decisions are part ol
the great traditions of the bench.
They guaranteed and set forth
in striking fashion the rights of
the general public ns against the
selfish interests of any class,
whether of capitalists or of labor
ers. They set forth and stand
by the rights of the wage-worker
to organize and to strike, as un
equivocally as they set forth and
stand by the doctrine that no
conduct will be tolerated that
would spell destruction to the
nation as a whole. As for the
attack upon the injunctions in
labor disputes, made while he
was on the bench, I ask that the
injunctions be carefully examin
ed- I ask that every responsible
and fair minded labor leader,
every responsible and fair minded
member of a labor organization,
read these injunctions for himself.
No responsible organization
would now hesitate to condemn
the abuses against which Judge
Taft's injunctions were aimed
The principles which he therein
so wiselj- and fearlessly laid
down serve as a charter of liberty
for all of us, for wage workers,
for employers, for the general
public; for they rest on the prin
cipled of fair deal ing for all, of
even handed justice lor all. They
mark the judge who rendered
them as standing for the rights
of the whole people, as far as
daylight is from darkness, so lar
is such a judge from the time
server and truckler to the mob,
or cringing tool of great, corrupt
and corrupting corporations.
Judge Taft on the bench as
since, in the Philippines, in Pan
ama, in Cuba, in the War depart
ment showed himself to be a
fearless, and att upright servant
of the whole people, whose ser
vices to the whole people were
beyond all price. Moreover, let
all good citizens remember that
he rendered these services, not
when it was easy to do so, but
when lawless violence was threat
ened, when malice, domestic and
civic disturbance threatened the
whole fabric of our government
and of civilization; his actions
showed not only the highest kind
of moral courage, but of physical
courage as well, for his life was
freely and violently threatened.
Let all tairminded men, wage
workers and capitalists alike,
consider yet another fact. In one
of the decisions upon the bench
Judge Taft upheld in the strong
est fashion and for the first time
gave full vitality to the princi
ple of the employers' liability for
injuries done workmen. This
was before any national law on
the subject was enacted. Judge
Taft was a leader, a pioneer,
while on the bench, in the effort
to get justice for the wage-work
er, in jealous companionship of
his rights, and all upright and
farsighted laboring men should
hold it to his credit that at the
same time he fearlessly stood
against the abuses of labor, just
as he fearlessly stood against the
abuses of capital. If elected he
has shown by his deeds that he
will be president of no class, but
of the people as a whole, he can
be trusted to stand stoutly against
the two real enemies of our de
mocracy—against the man who
to please one class would under
mine the whole foundation of
orderly liberty, and against the
man. who in the interest of an
other class would secure business
prosperity by sacrificing every
right of the working people.
I have striven as president to
champion in every proper way
| the interests of the wage-worker;
! for I regard the wage-worker,
I excepting onlv the farmer, the
tiller of the soil, as the man
whose wellbeing is most essential
to the healthy growth of this
great nation. I would for no
I consideration advise the wage
worker to do what I thought was
against Ins interest. 1 ask his
support for Mr Taft exactly as I
ask such support from every tar
j sighted and right-thinking Amer
ican citizen; because I believe
with all my heart that nowhere
within the borders of our great
jcountry can there be found an
other man, who will as viligantly
and efficiently as Mr. Taft sup
port the rights of every man who
in good laitli strives to do his
duty as an American citizen. He
will protect the just rights of
both rich and poor and he will
war relentlessly against lawless
ness and injustice whether exer
cised on behalf of property or of
labor. On the bench Judge Taft
showed the two qualities which
made a great judge; wisdom and
moral courage. They are also
the two qualities which made a
great president. Yours truly,
