Philadelphia, Jan. 17.—President Taft, speaking at the Clover club here to- night, wished good luck to Mr. Wilson] in his four years in the White House, | vredicting prosperity for the nation| under ordinary circumstances, but| gave warning that in his opinion the people at the polls in November de- cided against radicalism as well as against conservatism and advised the democrats to abide by their verdiot— “stick to the middle of the road.” “I have very good will for the incom- ing administration,” said the president. | “I sincerely hope that the course tak- en by it will make you prosperity—will not interfere with that prosperity which, but for some obstruction, is cer- tainly’ coming to this country. The programme of his successor the president called “ambitious,” and he mentioned briefly tariff revision, the “proposal to emancipate the poor,” and the “militant spirit that is to grind down all wrong and elevate all right.” “If this programme can be carried out in one or two or three terms or decades,” said Mr. Ta: ve would be glad to wait its coming. “I don’t wish to be put in the atti- tude of opposing progress. All I wish to say is ‘It's your term and your| move.' If you succeed we will applaud | you, if you don't then our judgment will be better than yours, and we shall have taken not the more brilliant and‘ enticing paths, but the safest course along which lies progress for mankind.” At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Taft was made the “1916 candidate of| the Clover club.” FREE This coupon is good for one trial package of Gauss’ Combined Ca- tarrh Cure, mailed free, in plain package.
