TAFT SPEAKS IN BALTIMORE.
Talks on Government Expenditures and
the Philippines Question.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-Secretary Taft was
the chief speaker here tonight at great
Republican mass meeting. Mr.. Taft ar
rived here from New York about 6 o'clock
and met several well known Republicans
at the Hotel Rennert before starting for
the mass meeting. His address was de-
voted principally to the justification of
governmental expenses, the necessity of
building the Panama Canal and an eXplana-
ton Of the Philippine situation.
In the matter Of governmental expenses
he said the country had expanded, max ing
increases necessary, and it was more of a
dereli ction Of duty 10 make tho country
suffer for needed improvements than to
indulge in what may he termed little ex-
travagance to fur ish necessities that in
the future would prove blessings. Regard
ing the Panama Canal, he argued that the
Dem ocrats, even Including Judge Par er
were strong advocates Of this measure, vet
they we're unwilling to assume the respon-
sill ility of such an expenditure. OF the
Fiipinos he said they were unfit for self
government, and that the United States
was doing more for them as individuals
and as a nation than any other country
on the face OF the earth could do
s. A. Williams, who was the Republican
candidate for Governor last fall, presided
at the meeting.

Joseph A. Kellogg of Glens Falls, the

Mr.. Kellogg had this to say about MIR. Lit

The counties in the district are Fulton.

rem. Mr.. Littauer felt that he could control
Fulton and Ham ilton counties. which con-
stitute one Assembly district, and knew that
he could rely upon Sena tor Bracket for the
delegates from Saratoga county. But the
feeling against him in Montgomery and War
rem counties had become strong that he
realized there would be little hope OF secur-
ing the delegates from those counties. He
and Senator Bracket. therefore. after
stormy contest in the 1902 convention, passed
a resolution changing the voting representa-
ton Of the five counties so that MONTGOMERY
and Warren counties united We're powerless
to outvote Fulton. Ham ilton and SARATOGA

for him in Washington, where he Is now
employed.
Last January, however. after the official
investigators Of the glove contract scandal

home counties became so strong that ne de-
