Hopkins Sees Taft Victory and 100000 Illinois Lead
Senator Hopkins travels to Hot Springs to urge Taft support and to invite him to the September 9 Republican State convention in Springfield. He predicts a 100000 Illinois majority for Taft and GOP tickets, despite labor influences from Gompers and Bryan’s free trade record. He questions Bryan’s appeal and calls tariff reform the campaign’s main issue.

Beef Trust under fire in 1908 campaign rhetoric
The speech lambasts government inaction against the Beef Trust since the 1906 Supreme Court decision and 1905 injunction, urging vigorous prosecutions alongside Oil and Tobacco trusts. It argues the party relies on these prosecutions for campaign capital as Americans remain meat consumers and pressure grows for action.
