TAFT COMES FROM GOOD STOCK
Family Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.

The Tafts-those who at present are
the Tafts-hail ancestrally from Tx.
bridge, Mass. They say that Tafts are
so thick in Uxbridge that even a WON
an can't throw a stone without hitting
one.
Some years ago-in 1874, to be exact
there was Taft reunion in Tx
bridge, to which descendants of the
original Robert Taft came fiocking
from all parts of the country. One of
the conspicuous features of the affair
was historical address by Alphonso
Taft, father of the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history of
various branches of the family, and
when be came to the one to which he
and his children belonged he said:
"Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have shared in the battles of the coun-
try when national independence was
to be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
careers have not been characteristic of
the Tafts in the past. 1t is not safe to
say what may be in store for them.
There is a tie in the affairs of men
and also of families"
This is taken from tne account of
the reunion published at the time. AL
phonso Taft would perhaps have been
somewhat dazzled IL he could have fore.
seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed to embark upon
national politics." He himself started
the turn Of the tide which he predict
ed. 1t seems to be reaching its food
In the career of the son who that year
was entering Yale.
AS Alphonso Taft described his I'm
mediate ancestors one sees where his
son got certain characteristics. Peter
Taft (1715) was "a large, good-loo
ing man Of magnanimous disposition. "
He had four sons.
Aaron, the candidates ancestor, was
also 90 magnanimous that ne lost

THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells ToIled and Funeral Dirges Played
When Il Fell.

When II Fell.
The charter oak of Hartford was q
white oak. The story goes that when
James, duke of York, ascended the
throne of England and sent Andres to
take away all colonial charters Con-
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct. 81, 1857, he returned
to the assembly hall of Hartford with
body of soldiers and demanded in
stant surrender of the charter, which
lay in box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andres
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished, and the
outside rushed in a disorderiy crowd
into the hall. There was a period Of
wild confusion In the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found. 1t had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed in the oak, which ever after
ward bore It's name
Iue OAK was even luen OlQ. w ueD
the first settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begged that it might
be spared. 1T has been the guide of
our ancestors for centuries they said,

that at sunset on the day of it's fall
the bells of the city were tolled and a

ence one foot from the ground was

Obligations of Civil War.

Money indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
In the great civil war. There was O
still greater debt, an everlasting obli-
CATION that could never be paid in full.
But in the years that have followed
the Republican party has inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or to the survivors of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag. This pension system, a
product of the policy Of the Republican
party, has no precedent In history and
no equal in justice and generosity

Judge Taft guessed at the meaning

He went to Washington and was shown
