TAFT SPOKE OF
GRANTS FAULT
Remarks That General Once
Resigned Because Of Liquor
Habit Causes Comment

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON. June 1.-secretary
Taft to-day, speaking OF his reference
to General Grants weakness for liquor
in his Memorial Day address at New
York, has brought the incident stn
more into the lime light in view Of its
possible effect upon the secretary's po-
litical aspirations.
The secretarys friends are OF the
.opinion that the address could not be
taken as anything but tribute, even
without the after-interpretation he
made. They viii not even admit that
the sec tary erred In putting forth
General Grants faults IN order to show
the tremendous triumph he won In tho
field. They ridicule the idea that the
address win be used as campaign ma
terial by the opposition
on the other hand. the explanation
clear as Il may be. has not entirely re-
moved the bad taste his remarks left
In the mouths OF the old soldiers and
admirers OF General Grant II has had
some effect but has not allayed resent
ment. and Il Is not likely 20 pass out
OF mind for some time. even though
the speech may not be seized upon by
stump speakers II Tafts presidential
campaign becomes a reality The sem
tences Of his speech to which the old
soldiers take exception were as fol-
lows:
an 1854 he CGranD resigned from
the army because he had TO. He had
yielded 10 the weakness OF taste for
strong drink. and rather than be court
lmartialed, he left the army"
In his explanations issued last night
Taft took the ground that the lives
OF our great men belong to the coun-
TRY.
III facts are told showing that they
had weaknesses ond which they over
came" he says. the force Of their
successful example Is greater 70 lift
the youth OF the country up TO emulate
them. than II they are painted as per-
feet without temptation. and without
weaknesses"
