,/v«, L ROOSEVELT IS IN ATTENDANGE National Republican League Meets in New York. TAFT TO MAKE SPEECH Men Close to President Declare That, in His Address, He Will Ally Him- self Definitely With the Progressive Cause—John Hays Hammond, in Opening the Convention, Eulogizes the Present Administration. New York, Oct. 1.—Republican po- litical activity shifted to New York city, which welcomed a body of voters of that party from various parts of the country to attend the eleventh an- nual convention of the National Re- publican league. The leading feature of the d. session in Carnegie hall was an address to “young voters,” de- livered by Colonel Theodore Roose- velt. A parade of the delegates will be held this evening, following a recep- tion to President Taft at the Repub- lican club. Mr. Taft will be the guest of the club at a banquet in the Hotel Astor and deliver an address which is expected to be an important political utterance. Although the president has given no intimation of the nature of the address he will make this evening, persons who are close to the administration have declared the chief executive will allay himself definitely with the pro- gressive cause. The notables who were welcomed included something like twa score of Republican governors of states, Unit- ed States senators and representa- tives in congress. John Hays Hammond, president of the league, presides over the sessions of the body, which has a membership of more than 2,000,000, comprised in 3,500 clubs representing every state and territory in the Union. More than 1,500 delegates were in attendance when the convention was called to order. A black and white portrait of President Taft was con- spicuously placed at the rear of the stage. President John Hays Hammond, in a speech opening the convention, eulo- gized President Taft's administration and urged earnest efforts by all Re- publicans to elect a Republican house of representatives this fall. “The Democrats,” said Mr. Ham- mond, “have failed to recognize the fact that the great majority of the in- surgents are Republican insurgents.” TYPHOON IN THE PHILIPPINES One Thousand Persons Rendered Homeless by the Storm.
