Ear-splitting shouts gave the
warning Of the arrival Of Judge Taft
Mr.. Bryan, IN common with every

Taft Delivers as Usual A
Common Sense Address
at Convention "
Bryan viii Address the Wat.
erWays Convention
) Today

=" Chicago, Ill, Oct. IA picture of
days when stately ships shall carry
rich products Of the central states
from the great lakes to the Gulf of
Mexico through a deep waterway,
returning with products Of no less
value, was coniured up today be
fore delegates and visitors to the
third annual convention of the Lakes
to the Gulf Deep Waterways associa-
ton by able: speakers, headed by
Judge Taft.
Today's utterances were authora
tive, for they came from Secretary
Saunders of the association Presi-
dent Kavanaugh, the head of the
organization, Governor Charles s.
Dineen of Illinois, who spoke of the
first link of the great waterways;
the Chicago drainage canal; and
Mr.. Taft, who had general supervis-
ion in Washington of the building OF
the Panama canal until he resigned
to become the presidential nominee
of the Republican party.
The need of such waterways was
insisted upon by every speaker. The
question Of transportation, it was
declared, is the most serious ques
ton with which this country has to
deal. Judge Taft's insistence that
not only deep waterways, but con-
servation Of the national reserve
were related subjects which called
for immediate action, ELECTED great
applause. His statement that the
waterways was not project, but q
policy, found ready response in
cheers of his audience.
If there had been any doubt as tt
the need of the Lakes to the Gull.
waterways among the thousands OF
delegates and visitors gathered from
all parts of the country, they were
dispelled when Judge Taft said:
| we find that during the ten years
ending with 1905, internal commeres
ito our country has increased LIS
per cent, while railroad facilities dur
ing the same time have increased
only 20 per cent. 1t has been point
ed out that to supply this deficienc!
by the construction of additions
railroads and necessary terminals
would require capital investmen
of; SIS, 500, 00O, 900. and this, when com
pleted, would make no provision TO,
the further increase Of, our com
| merce." -.
The only solution of the problem
the speaker found in deep water
ways. - '''-'t =
