Word Picturoo Not Nesdsd to 8UU Foci* -Plainly — Rspublicsn Condi - data's Clearness and 8incarlty Carry | Conviction. j i prom being decidedly apprehensive as to the outcome of Judge Taft's epeaking tonrs Republican leaders are now convinced that one of the wisest ^ moves of the campaign was the decision to let the Republican candidate j visit as many sections of the country 1 as possible between now and election day and talk to as many voters as the time will permit. When speaking tours tor Taft were first discussed the oppo uents of the plan based their opposition on the fact that as an orator Taft cannot be compared to Bryan, They argued that Taft. who makes no pre tense to oratory, would be placed at a disadvantage appearing on the stump against the gifted Nebraskan. But ~iTndge Taft himself solved the problem and cleared the whole situation with doe sentence In his recent speech at 'Sandusky. O. "I cannot dwell In the cerulean blue,toot have to deal with facts." he declared. It Is this dealing with facts In a clear, dispassionate manner that has made William Howard Taft what he Is, that/Will cause him to gain strength •very time he appears In public. Taft's toest friends cannot claim for him that tie is an orator. But be can tell the tooth and does tell 1U He- will not have to paint beautiful word pictures of iwhat should be done. He will not have to plead with silvery eloquence for the alleged downtrodden nor call on "the masses" to rise up and save the country from the ruin which Bryan has 'been predicting and finding various panaceas for during the past twelve years. What Taft has to do is to state cold, clear cut facts, to tell the truth about himself, to give to his auditors a clear and unmistakable idea of what Taft the man Is and what he stands Xor. And this he can do, and do well. By nature he Is frank and open. It ; would be difficult for bfto to dissemble ! If he wished to do so. Already Taft has begun making serious Impressions on his audiences. Bryan never falls to tickle his audiences, dn most Instances he arouses enthusiasm, but It is an enthusiasm which rarely lasts. Those who listen and applaud go away and forget. With . the Taft audiences it Is different. By the cfearncss of his exposition and the j absolute sincerity of his manner he ) carries conviction. Ills auditors are soon Impressed by two things — Taft's > ability and Taft's sincerity. "That man means what he says." is a comment frequently heard after Taft tons spoken. Another Taft cbnracier- j Is tic tbn' Is winning many friends for • the Republican candidate among those who knew nothing of him before they . Baw and heard him Is his great cour- | age. He says what ho thinks, and j Bays It in such a way that it remains ! fixed In the minds of those wli • bear ! ling 400 union coal miners. He told ! Jtbem about having Issued Injunctionsj- issued tbeui." he said, "because j tlm rights of the plaintiffs demanded , St. When 1 am on the bench 1 enforce I Ithe law. Aud. I have no apology to | an~ke." • For a minute there was absolute si- | pence, dramatic In Its Intensity. Then j Rhe 400 miners broke dot merely Into (applause, but Into enthusiastic cheers I (After the meeting they were heard ex | pressing their views. "That man Is on the level." said one , ("He doesn't hand out any 'con' talk. | (He knows where he stands and Is not afraid to come straight out with a Ithlng. He ain't, the orator Bryan Is. j but he says things that Bryan wouldn't 1 iJare say." Unlike many of Bryan's utterances. fTaft's utterances will hear Inspection. JHe will make no deelratlon that Is topen to doubt. "I have to deal with (facts." he said. In some of his | speeches Bryan. Intoxicated with the {Bound of his own words, frequently intakes statements not entirely trustworthy. Taft has been too long on the bench, too long In high government jmv iedttons. where his utterances carried [weight to permit of his making careless statements. Furthermore Taft {possesses to a marked degree the ability to discuss the most Intricate subjects In the simplest language. He , proved this most conclusively at San fflnnlty when he made perfectly plain to bl* audience the development of antl- , trust legislation and the powers and ^imitations of the federal government. ^Everybody knew exactly what be was ttaQdng about and understood It cleariy, yet there were few In the audience Vbo realised that he was discussing abstruse legal problems without resorting to bewildering legal phraseology. As far as personal magnetism ffaaij. "Taft and Bryan are nearly equaV But where Bryan's personality Is one that -creates Interest and enthusiasm Taft's 1a one that Inspires affection and trustfulness. "That man has s fine face; U would trust him anywhere." said a 'West Virginia woman who with a large party came over the mountains >to hear Taft speak at Hot Springs Those who meet him feel that he Is mot only sincere, but that he possesee« -the ability and courage to handle safe dy the many problems that confront * .. president.
