Louisville. Ky, Oct. 15.-Acting on his
declaration that the south is a part of
the union and as such entitled to be con-
sidered in the national election" Mr.
Taft spent the day talking in towns and
cities in Kentucky.
He is the first Republican presidential
candidate who came to the Blue Grass
state.
He will be the first Republican presi-
into North Carolina and Virginia, which
he intends visiting in the next two days.
His reception has been typical of south
ern hospitality The attention he re-
ceived while expounding Republican doc
trines was such as to indicate more than
passing interest.
The candidate made many references to
his reception during the day.
Made Silly Assertion.
For the second time since his work on
the stump began, Mr.. Taft made refer
ence to the government guarantee of bank
deposits, which Mr. Bryan is engaged in
urging in the west. On that subject at
Lexington he paid his respects to his
opponent as follows:
Mr.. Bryan has another proposition that
is going to be the panacea for everything
and that IS the guaranty of bank depoS-
its. By that proposition he is going to
make every respectable, honest banker
become the security of anybody that de-
sires to go into the banking business with
the idea of getting large line of depos-
itors with a very small capital. and the
result of that, | don't think it takes a
very clear-headed business man to see
Not Joke. but Lie.
try out the experiments, they are now
finding that banks are being organized
with capital of $4,000 by persons that
have failed in the banking business be-
fore. by men that are under charges of
embezzlement. but who are able to get
deposits by saying to depositors. 4 am
a good fellow and want you to help me
out. Put your money in my bank be-
cause this miliion-dollar bank up here
of Mr.. Smiths is my security that you
will get your deposits back
Now that is not joke; that is a real
genuine statement of the condition that
is to be produced by that guaranty OF
bank deposits proposition"
The work of the day for Mr.. Taft was
begun early this morning at Huntington.
W. Va, where he was taken from the
train 10 a rink and received by thousands
Then came his advent into Kentucky.
Arrival in Kentucky.
At Ashland the crowd was big and the
cheers of the tipping variety.
At East Kentucky Junction he told the
crowd that he believed that Kentucky
Republicans were almost better than 9TH
er Republicans because they had to fight
for their doctrine.
At Olive Hill he was again met by an
enthusiastic crowd
To his MOrehead audience he said:
Il wish / had a voice as strong as my
hand and as strong as the muscles of
my arm because l would like to have you
all hear me- I would like to shake the
hand of each one of you because I know
a thrill of Republicanism would run from
your backbone to mine and back again.
All I can say is how grateful l am to you
oraa civ ir1cr
age to believe that Republicanism Is go
ing to sweep south of the Ohio river and
to give the south the position she ought
to have in this government"
More Faith Than Judgment.
At Salt Lick the candidate told his
audience that he had been looking through
the crowd and felt both pleasure and
pride at his reception from such men, and
then added:
THE Republicanism of Kentucky is
tried and true. 1t took something to be
Republican in the past.
Il believe that the indications that we
have had today of the interest the Re-
publicans are taking in this campaign is
as earnest that in the November election
Kentucky is going to be where she ought
to be-in the Republican column"
Mount Sterling and Winchester brought
forth their crowds and received IN turn
the prosperity argument of the candidate.
The Lexington meeting had been arranged
with great care and the theatre where
the meeting was held was packed an hour
before the special arrived
When he arrived at the theatre the big
