DaDy was handed up to the rear plat

the forehead, and when the youngster
began to whimper the Republican
candidate hurriedly passed It back to
the father, who hurr1edly handed It
over to his wife.
There is no Republican detection In
Missouri. and so Mr.. Taft's efforts to-
day were directed to Nning up those
Democrats who voted for Roosevelt
-FOUR years ago. His. pledge to carry
out the Roosevelt policies seemed to
the nail on the head. Az q rule

Reception by Opposition.
Although Mr.. Taft was in the enc
my's country, at any point where his
train stopped no attempt was made to
disturb his meetings. There was con-
siderable Bryan sentiment in some Of
the audiences the most OF the hur-
rahs for Bryan were suppressed until
Taft had concluded his remarks.
A late afternoon meeting at Dar-
lington was marked by a decided
preference for Bryan. Mr.. Taft said
he was glad he was talking to mem
bers Of the opposition party. He gave
them cordial welcome to Join him
this time, saying that while the light
should burn the vilest sinner may
return.
At South st. Joseph Mr.. Taft was
led into giving his definition Of q
Democrat, because Of the Introduction
he received to large gathering Of
stock yards employees, by John Dono-
van, president of the stock exchange
at, that place. Mr.. Donovan paid the
candidate this tribute.
II don't want to appear before you
In q false light. am a Democrat, but
reserve the right to make friend
Of man Of an opposite political par
ty when think he deserves It, and
have that kind Of man by my side,
and who Is In every way worthy
American, man whose history is
known to you.
II am not an ONCE seeker and new
or have been, and no Office within the
gift OF this government or state would
have. II this man is elected, I
promise that II he calls upon me for
any special duty, I will quit anything
have on hand and 80 to him in a
minute"
To this Judge TAFT replied:
Taft Defines q Democrat.
sdr. Donovan says that he 10 a
Democrat Ths4 is only an historical
designatton. It does not refer to ex
listing conditions. because there are
90 many definitions of what Demo-
crat Is and ought to be that when q
man says he is a Democrat 1t does not
indicate how he is going to vote"
The Chilltcothe demonstration came
after nightfall, but was none the
leseened In enthusiasm. The big
crowd assembled listened to Mr..
Taft's brief remarks and insisted on
Dunctuating them with cheers.
The residents of Macon were as
sembled In their hall when the can
didate reached this place, although
many times more people were on the
street to do the welcoming.
