Republican Si ilied Officially of Hit Nomination. DENVER PLATFORM SEVERELY ARRAIGNED Brief Synopsis of Keynote 8peech of the Campaign, Which Pledges the Party to a Perpetuation of the Poli cies of Roosevelt. Hearst News Service Cincinnati, O., July 28.—William H. fclaft was today formally notified of the fact-that he is the Republican nom inee for President' of the United States. Addressing Senator Warner, who made the notification speech, and the gentlemen of the committee, Mr. Taft discussed at length the issues of the campaign and paid particular attention to.the Democratic platform adopted at Denver, which he characterized as a "shrewdly constructed trap In which to t»tch votes." Roosevelt's policies were endorsed in toto and profuse apologies were made for the recent financial panic, which the speaker declared could only be overcome gradually under a Repub lican administration. He argued thax the chfef functions of the next Re publican administration would be to restore confidence In the business world and to "clinch what has already been done." The physical value of railroads was discussed at length and the inter state commerce commission was en dorsed without hesitation. He favored -national control of all Interstate com pinil i.li^oorporations ar.d endorsed the "former expressions pf Mr. Roosevelt along this line. Discussing the Democratic platform in regard to the treatment of trusts, he said: "The Democratic platform does not propose to destroy the plants of the trusts physically, but it proposes to do the same thing In a different way. The business of thiB country Is largely de pendent on a protective system of tariffs. The business done by many of the so-called "trusts" Is protected with the other businesses of the country. The, Democratic platform proposes to take off the tariff In all articles com ing Into competition with those pro duced by the so called "trusts," and to put them on the tree list. If such a course would be utterly destructive of their business, as Is Intended, It would not only destroy the trusts, but all of their smaller competitors. The ruth less and impracticable character of the proposition grows plainer as Its effects Jhe NN^hole community are- veal ized." LOVES THE NEGRO. Discussing the negro question, Mr. Taft says: 1 "The Republican platform Refers to these amendments to the Constitution that were passed by the Republican party for thq protection of the negro. The negro, |n the forty years since he was freed front slavery, has made re markable progress. He is becoming a more and more valuable member, of the communities in which b e lives. The ^education the negro Is being expanded and Improved in every way. The best men of both races, at the North as well as at the South, ought to rejoice to see growing up among the Southern people an influential element disposed -to encourage the negro in his hard, struggle for Industrial Independ ence and assured political status. The Republican platform, adopted at Chl pUcltly demands justice for men Without regard to rate or Ef-Tind Just as explicitly declares fo/the enforcement, and without reser vation, in letter and Bplrlt of the Thir teenth. Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform, and believe that equal jus tice to all men, and the fair and im partial enforcement of these amend 7 <v, kg w! t DR.

Editor Daily News: Dear Sir—Permit me to express through your columns my hearty ap preciation and indorsement for the nooble and fearless stand taken in our municipal campaign. I believe the News is the" only paper ever published In Hattiesburg that hag had backbone enough to come out publicly and take a stand and condemn wrong, and fight for what is law and right. I also wish to express my thanks and hearty appreciation for the liberal support that I received in last week's election. you have j I appreciate it the more because I believe It came from the moral and law-abiding class of citizens. Respectfully, J. W. MONTAGUE. COUNTERFEITERS FOR FIFTEEN YEARS Hearst News Service. Fayetteville, Ark., July 28.*—Dr. L. W. Blanchard and J. C. Wilcoxsen were today bound over to the federal grand Jury on charges of counterfeit ing. The latter confessed and. said that Blanchard had been counterfeit ing for fifteen years. Blanchard Is a Sunday' school superintendent and a local society leader. Miss Claudia Lee Sims returned last night from a pleasant visit of several weeks to Bay Springs. ments is in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play." In regard to the labor plank in the Democratic platform, he says: This provision" in the platform of 1896 was regarded then as a most dan gerous -attack upon the power of the courts t* enforce their orders and de crees, and it was one of the chief rea sons for the defeat of the Democratic party In that coatest, as it ought to have Iteen. The extended operation of such a provision to weaken the power of the courts in the enforce ment of its lawful orders can hardly be overstated. GERMAN BAPTISTS ARE ORGANIZING Hearst News Service.

X X X X The purpose of this editorial, however, is to remind the officers who will preside at tomorrow's election of the fact that the revision of the poll books has been completed and that affidavits are no longer necessary. The books show plainly whether or not the applicant for the exercise of his franchise has paid his poll tax, and the election judges have only to do their sworn duty in the premises. Aside from the Constitutional inj notion that "a $2poll tax is hereby im posed on each male inhabitant between the ages of 21 and 60 years," justice demands that the law-abiding, tax-paying citizens of Hattiesburg be allowed to name the officers charged with the administration of our public affairs.

Inventions these are the best possible prevention of war. Still the very fact that people are found who would prohibit or prevent war on strictly humanitarian or con scientious principles, proves that the world is growing better, not worse. In olden times when physical strength and prowess designated the king, can ning, or man who was able to enforce his order by mere physical superiority, when a duel between Hector and Achilles or David and Goliath decided a battle, was inexpensive and by em bracing a strong element of romance, appealed to human sympathy. Since that time it has grown in brutality and ruthless slaughter while the heroic element has given way to cold blooded mathematical calculations, causing wonder with a strong mixture of disgust. Directly the two events referred to before, will not stop a war, hut indi rectly each will exert its influence toward preventing the wholesale shed ding of human blood. There is very little glory in war and such as is left goes to the general whose superior cal culations made victory certain; the maimed or dead on the battlefield pay the bill. The Hearst Independent League. The Hearst Independence League is today holding a convention at Chi cago, with pretensions to being a na tional party and as such entitled to nominate candidates for the federal government. On the face, it looks as if this is essentially a one-man's league, and of a sore-head at that. William Randolph Hearst, the only son of the late Sen ator George Hearst, of California, In herited a colossal wealth from his least father, and this will be at doubled upon the death of his mother, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, now a liberal patroness of the University of Cali fornia. About twenty-four years ago the late Senator bought the San Francisco Ex aminer for his son, then a young grad uate of Harvard. The new owner de voted himself heart and soul to his en terprise; while he engaged capable men at liberal salaries, he studied journalism from the very bottom and worked as hard or harder than any man employed by him. The Examiner under its former owner, Clarence R. Greathouse had been a conservative Democratic paper; Hearst adopted sensational methods and by advocat ing the strong workingmen's party, rapidly placed his paper on a paying basis. In 1896, he moved to New York where he bought the Journal, a paper without circulation or Influence. Pur suing the same methods which had proved successful in San Franofcco, he poured money into his enterprise and resurrected the moribund paper. Since then he has established a chain of papers, all upon a paying basis, j In theory he is heart and soul de voted to the laboring classes, but there is no evidence of his being a philan thropist. On the other hand, he has proved himself an able financier and business man with personal ambition. There Is no reason whatever why he should be In control of a national party. J Pfen teheed to or eighteen "I was drunk.' That tells the story. M .E .Davis sober was an affable friend, an affec tionate husband and father. Davis plus whisky was the senseless wretch who turned his gun against the one above all others whom he loved and cherished. "I was drunk." That was no excuse to plead before the bar of justice save In mitigation of the offense, else any man might go and get drunk and kill with impunity. "I didn't mean to harm a hair of my wife's head." Of course he did not. It was not Davis, but whisky, that pointed the gun. But the law held Davis, not the whisky responsible. When Davis was arrested whisky was not arrested; when he was tried before judge and Jury, whisky was not tried, when he was sent to prison whisky was let go scot free. Whisky Is a coward. It assumes none of the responsibility which it creates. It gets men intp trou ble and leaves them there. It can mak« difficulties, but it cannot solve prob lems.

Johnson's speedy rise to fame is al most a record-breaker, even in Amer ica. When he celebrated his fortieth birthday seven years ago, Johnson was the editor of a little paper in the little town of St. Peter, Minn., and was hardly known outside of his home county. Today his Influence extends over the nation and he is even better known in the East and South than in the North and West.

Pro| Chicago, July 28.—With nearly a dozen active candidates for the presi dential nomination in the field, the In dependence Party national convention will resume its session this afternoon and before midnight, according to plans, will have made a choice of its standard bearer, .adopted a platform and concluded its business. This morning the state delegations held meetings to elect new national committeemen and chairmen of dele gations and to agree as to plans in platform to be supported and candl dates for presidents and vice president. The program for this afternoon is as follows: 2:00 P. M.—Report of Committee on Permanent Organization. 2:05 P. M.—Election of permanent Chairman of convention. 2:10 P.

M.—Nomination of party's first candidate for President. 11:00 P. M.—Nomination of Vice President. 11:30 P. M.—Appointment of Notifi cation and other committees. Although many delegates have joined in a demand that William Ran dolph Hearst accept the presidential nomination, he is apparently deter mined that the honor go elsewhere and his wishes will probably be respected. Among those mentioned for the first place on the ticket are Thomas L. His gen, of Massachusetts; John Temple Graves, of Georgia; Howard S. Taylor, of Iillinols; the Hon. Charles A. Walsh, of Iowa, secretary of the National Committee of the new party; M. W. Howard, of Alabama; Reuben Noble Lyon, of New York; Charles F. S. Neal, of Indiana and Hugh Mclsaacs, of California.

He is known throughout New I England as "Honest Tom" Hisgen. This title came to Mr. Hisgen as a result of a long and successful fight against the Standard Oil Trust. Mr. Hisgen, with his brothers, controlled an independent oil plant and were suc cessful. The Oil Trust undertook to I drive them out of business and Mr. Hisgen led the fight.
