Taft’s Labor Speech Upholds Square Deal on Injunctions
In Chicago Taft defends a square deal for labor and capital, backing injunctions with notice to protect property. He rejects class legislation and calls for impartial justice between workers and owners, while Bryan’s stance remains unclear on injunctions.
Bryan urged to define industrial dispute remedies
The writer questions Mr. Bryan on injunctions in labor disputes and whether he plans to shield unions from injunctions or keep current court practices unchanged. Taft is praised for clarity, while Bryan’s vague platform risks losing labor and capital support if he does not speak clearly.

Bryan and free silver and the 1896 prophecy
The article argues that Bryan was right in 1896 because metal money was needed and low prices proved silver’s demonetization. It credits global gold production for raising prices since 1896, claiming his only error was not foreseeing mines’ bounty would fix money supply without free coinage. It concludes he is a statesman, not a prophet.

Bryan
Assurance versus policy on gold and free silver
The speaker questions repeated assurances of policy stability and warns that beliefs about free silver in 1896 and the discovery of gold could alter views again. They argue that gold supply seems adequate only because current prices appear reasonable to Bryan, suggesting that a future price drop under his administration could prove gold insufficient.
Hughes movement and the fight against boss politics
The piece argues that the Hughes movement embodies a nationwide backlash against bossism and legislative favors to special interests. It frames Murphyism as Albany gambling ties and Tammany Hall-Boss politics, praising Hughes for steady leadership and justified reform. It warns Democratic resistance signals a final stand for public service over private gain.
