Everywhere Taft Has Spoken,
He Has Received a Most
Cordial Reception.
MAKING WHIRLWIND TOUR.
MANY OF THE LARGER CITIES IN
THE STATE HAVE ALREADY
BEEN VISITED, MUCH GOOD
HAVING BEEN DONE.

Indianapolis, Oct. Birthdays exhi-
bition of political enthusiasm in In
diana was such as to eclipse any pre-
vious campaigns, according to the ma
tional and state leaders who are with
the Taft special. So great were the
crowds. everywhere that even the ar
rangements of the local committees
we're overridden. Appreciating the
conditions and realizing that while he
might be heard by the few, 1t was bet
ter to meet the demand of the many
who would be satisfied with a sight
Of him, Mr.. Taft did less talking and
more exhibition" work than hereto
fore in the campaign.
Wherever he spoke his remarks
were appreciated, and what he said
was repetition of his recent speech
es. This one note, however, dominat-
ed his thought.
Indiana is surely alive to her po-
litical responsibility and the characte,
of her enthusiasm means the success
of the Republican party"
Great Crowds Brave Rain.
A drizzling rain for a part of the
day and evening and bad railroad SER
vice, which set the train more than an
hour late before the days itinerary
was much more than half accom-
plished, seemed to make no impress
sion on the demand for a look at the
big candidate, and whenever his train
was at standstill there was no cessa-
ton to the cries Of approval and
shouts Of applause which filled the air.
Beginning at Brazil with a monster
meeting the Taft special made COM
plete fifty-mile circuit around Indian
apolis, which was reached at 9 o'clock
last night. Charlottesville, Lafayette,
Frankfort and Kokomo were visited in
turn, and each was repetition in
teeming populace and enthusiasm.
Marion's crowd was so dense that
Senator Hemenway. who followed
close on the heels of Mr.. Taft to the
courthouse steps, lost his pocketbook
without knowing it for some time.
Talks From Blocked Train.
Muncie, the next stop, presented in
surmountable obstacles in the way of
people and the candidate just simply
rode in the line of march and aband-
oned all attempts to reach the speak
ers' stand provided. He made a few
remarks from the rear of his car after
reaching it, and the crowd which fol-
lowed him to the station was amply

Little Incidents Occurring
During Taft Visit Today

The majority of Mr.. Taft's party
stood in the train shed while he was
making his address. That's certainly
a fine crowd out there" remarked a
small, stout individual, wearing black
slouth hat-politician style.
"Who is that MANI" asked a local
reporter of one of the party.
That's Bill Taylor, ex-attorney
general and one of those who ran
against Watson for the republican
gubernatorial nomination. He is an en-
thusiastic Watson man now and is
working hard for Jim's election" was
the reply.
After Mr.. Taft had concluded his ad-
dress and had climbed onto the rear
platform of the "Constitution," the
crowd Immediately surged about the
Car. c. T. Stuart was about the first
man to grasp the hand, of the candi-
date, then he lifted his little daughter
Grace, in his arms SO that she could
shake hands with Mr.. Taft, who smiled
at her and patted her on the head. I'm
mediately fond mothers and fathers
hoisted their offspring to receive the
greetings Of the big man.
Over 200 men, women and children
shook hands with Mr.. Taft the few
minutes the train fingered in the sta
ton after Mr.. Taft had boarded his
car. A large number of those who
grasped hands with the candidate were
railroad men-sturdy looking fellows
in their working clothes. Good luck
to you'' was the greeting Mr.. Taft re-
ceived from the majority who shook
hands with him. Just wanted to say
that l had shook hands with our next
president" said one man. and the can
didate bathed him in a sunny smile.
"It was a splendid crowd and a splen
did meeting. l want to congratulate
you on the way the people of the sixth
district have received Mr.. Taft" Sena-
tor Hemenway called from the rear
platform of the Taft car to District
Chairman Ed. Haas. Thanks. I'm glad
you are pleased" answered Mr.. Haas
The Taft special is fairly groanine
under it's burden of newspaper men. AL
the news services have representatives
on the train and nearly all the leading
repu blican newspapers in the country
hnord
The journalistic crowd occupied good
part of the space on the speakers
stand.
The address delivered here by Mr.
Taft was the third one he had made
this morning. His first speech was de
livered at Greenfield, where the Rich
mond delegation headed by Mr.. Haas
boarded the train. There was an inn
mense crowd on hand at Greenfield
and Mr.. Taft was given an enthusiastic
reception. The second speech he de
livered was at Cambridge City, where
there was also a big turnout. Mr.. Taft
spoke at Cambridge City only for few
minutes.
The Taft special arrived here at $40
ten minutes ahead of time. but the
crowd was on hand to receive the can
didate. He spoke just twenty minutes
and at 9:1O the special pulled out for
Winchester.
Mr. Taft's voice is showing the ef
fects of the vigorous campaign he has
been making. 1t is extremely hoarse
but he can still be heard quite distinct
ly. His posters displayed In this city
are excellent likeuesses OF him HI

Kokomo, Ind, Oct 24.-At Lafay-
ette yesterday, while riding to the

note thrust into his hand by well
dressed man:
Mr.. Taft: Twelve years ago /

city to hear Mr.. Bryan speak. To

And Jim Goodrich, republican state
chairman, was there with a correct
imitation of the expansive Taft smile
He was tickled to death with the crowd,
but he assured members of the Taft
party that old Winchester would be so

just naturally turn itself inside out.

Are there many railroad men in
that crowd?" asked reporter of Ed
ward R. Beatty, road foreman Of en-
gines, Richmond division.
There's your answer-see that crowd
coming down the tracks," he replied.
Men, grimly in their working clothes,
were hurrytng by the hundreds from
the yards to the speakers stand. The
entire working force at the east end
yards quit work to greet their favorite.
Gee, that crowd is a collection of
icebergs. see now why Indiana is
classed as doubtful state" remarked
a travelling man.

New York ReactiOnary.

New York, April 2-Liverpool again reported sales of 10000 bates this morning, and their futures were quot ed a shade better than due Our mar ket, however, because of liquidation in May, was inclined to be reactionary for the spring and summer months, but October held very steady on pur- chases against sales of May and July. X report early that 2,50O,000 dollars worth of cotton goods had been sold to China by a South Carolina mill was denied and this caused some scattered selling by local traders. Speculation continues at low ebb but the feeling 0n jle whole was more friendly to the market. especially the new crop posi- tions. Selling of these months short during April is not popular and while there is nothing al the moment to cause any extended up-turn, We be- lieve purchases of July and October around this level, will, if held, show substantial profits.
