By its history he declared the republican party had shown jtselt capable of dealing with the great questions effectively and wisely and he predicted that the American people must roon determine whether it shall trust the same party with the solution of “that problem than which we have had no greater in the history of the coun Mr. Taft spoke With great earnestness and his rearks coming as a relteration of «a brief reférence to-soclalism in his speech at 0., yesterday scemed deeply to mpress his hearers. By many his words were taken as framing an issue for the coming campaign. The president disclaimed ary purpose of making a partisan address but the occasion of his visit here was the unvelling of a bronze tablet commemorating the organization of the “epublican party as “under. the oaks” in 184 and he could not refrain from & comparivon of the party with {ts opponents which ‘was not alto- gether favorable to the oppanents. He also declared that popular govern ment must be a government of parties and in this conection there was just a passing hint at insurgeney. The president declared that unless Individuals are willing to sink minor considerittjons to the will of the majority in a party. there would come a rule by Broups, “In that event,” he added, “The Lord only krows where your government would he and what it would accomplish. The president left here tonight at 8:30 for Washington, by way of Toledo and Buf- falo over the Lake Shore road. Reference to Soctal In his speech here this afternoon the president’s reference to soclallsm came at the conclusion of a briet history of what the republican party has done. anid: UFor sthe future I shall say nothing, Because you would say I was mak- Ing a political speech. All I can say is that the lssue that is belng framed, it seems 1o M, 18 the issue with respect to the institution of private property. There are those who charge to that iffstitution the corporate abuses, the greed and the cor- ruption that grew out of those abuses, the unequal distribution of property, the pov- ertys of some and undue wealth of others, and therefore, say we will have none of it and we must have a new rule of distribu- tion, that for want of a better name we shall call socialism. “On the other hand it is contended that it 8. not the institution of private prop- erty that should be abolished, but gnly that the time has come In which it is necessary to lay down certaln rules restricting and regulating the use of that private property which shall not deprive the world of in- alvidual effort, but which shall still keep the law and the opportunity to use private property under such control that these abuses may be wiped out and the boon of individual efforts still be left to us.” Open Alr meeting. Mr. Taft spoke in the open alr at Kelley park to a grand stand filled with a throng which gave him a demonstrative welcome, He sald in part ““This meeting today is not a partisan meeting. It is the memorial of a party, Dbut It is historizal, and not partisan.

In his speech a defense was made of the attorney general and Henry W. Taft, brother of the president, against charges of being attorneys for the sugar trust, as made by Rainey on Anril 4.

On this point Congressman Smith declared he had-been informed that when the old rules committee was recently dissolved and the ;question of ‘ousting Speaker Cannon was being voted upon, a certain lowa sena- tor had begged a democraltic associate to support the speaker. “For God's sake, vote for Cannon,” the speaker quoted: the sema- tor as having sald. “If Cannon s defeated Smith will be speaker by nightfall.” Polnts to His Own Record. Throughout his speech, lasting two hours, Congressman Smith frequently made refer- ence to the motives of hidden design that actuated Senators Cummins and Dolliver in tighting him. He rapidly sketched his own service in congress, pointing out how he had through several legislative moves baved the United States millions ot dollars in the past, and assured a saving of at least $60,- 000,000 every year for the future. *“The gentleman who sald last night that 1 should not be sent back to congress has been in the senate three sessions,” said the congressman. “Throughout those three sessions that gentleman has not written so much as a paragraph, a line, a word, nor 'p};nelwhn'—'hvn ay-law of the: Hatlon. The speaker made a strong defense of the new tariff law and of the system of rules in the house, explaining that each was the best to be had. It was a non-es- sential mistake congress was said to have promised & revision downward. He sald the body never pyomised that, but the pres- Ident had interpreted its attitude in that light and the public had been thus misin- formed. He pointed out that revision had been made upward on all such luxuries as steam yachts, champagne, cologne and aut- omobiles, and had been lowered on the products of the Standard Oll company and on the necessities of life. Concerning Uriticisms, Concerning the critolsms made of him by Senator Cummins, the speaker made a sep- arate reply to each, pointing out a motive behind each of the verbal indictments. “I don't like the company Senator Cummins keeps at Washington,"~he added. "He is olitinually associating with democrats; 1 assdelate with republicans. 1t I dldn’t like thelr company I would not remaln in con- gress as a republican.” Congressman Smith also took up the at- tack made on him by the La Follette Weekly, which he said was belng . circu- lated by the Byers men. “This paper has devoted several pages to libelling me,” he sald. He then quoted the statement In the magazine that “Councll Bluffs s that part of Omaha which is on.the east side of the Missourl river, in Iowa,” and that “Coun- cll Bluffs is the commercial backyard of| big business centering In Omaha,” and called attention to the fact that not satis- fled with defaming him, the Byers men | were defaming the city in which he lved. Referring to Senator Dolliver's recent | statement that the tariff law was a scheme to rob the people, Congressman Bmith re- [ marked that if such were %0, It was a Kreat commentary upon the people of the country, since nine-tenths of-the lawmakers had voted for ft. “What u pity that the people of this country can elect a congress only one-tenth honest,” he sald. “I think it means that one-tenth need watching.

The general opinion is that both these measures will be voted upon before Saturday and that they will be sent to conference. Party lines will be dissolved and new lines of insurgency developed in the senate in connection with the public land with. drawal bill, which, it is expected, will be taken up tomorrow, Some of the western members are preparing to make vigorous assaults upon the Roosevelt-Garfleld ad- ministration of the public domain, espec- ially as regards the blanket withdrawals of large areas. It is not improbable that this course wilj lead to some bitter criticism of the more conservative policies of the Taft-Ballinger administration of the land law, The discussions will arise over the con- sfderation of the administration blll, which already has passed the house, to authorize the president to withdraw public lands for the purpose of classification, for the pro- tection of water power sites, for forest reserves, and to prevent mineral lands from falling into the hands of monopolies. Many Western members, notably Senators Warren and Clark of Wyoming, Heyburn and Borah of' 1daho, Carter of Montana and Hughes of Colorado, express fear that the enact- ment of this measure would mark the re- turn of the poliay of “locking up” great tracts of 1and, so that the western states might be deprived of the benefits that would accrue to them from thelr devi d - 5 = evelop: Some Favor Pinchot, On the other hand, the more radical pro- gram carried out during the regime of former Chief Forester Pilnchot {s favored by such western members as Senators Dixon of Montana, Flint and Perkins of California, Plles of a5hingion, Chamber : r- mfi_ i, Srtoot . ana la'n and Bourne @ Sutherland of Utah and numerous others, ® committed to Administration leaders Aar the conservation legislation advocated by President Taft and it Is not doubted there. fore, that the house will be for the with- drawal of public lands for conservation pur- poses will be passed at an early date, and that the measare will emerge successfull from confefence, 4 h\xphn.r(rl'l of statehood legislation B willing to give the administration conserva. tion measure the right of ways If the re: publican leaders will Eive their pledge that 01' vote shall be taken upon the Arizona- New Mexico bill befors adjournment.
