One of Mr.. Taft's most telling de-
partures from his set speech in the
great meeting tonight, throughout
which there were frequent tumultu-
Gus bursts of applause. was in re-
sponse to voice which cried out,
How about the panic. Billy"
Mr.. Taft answered by showing that
Theodore Roosevelt had awakened
the business conscience of the coun-
try. and then brought out that the
exponent of this moral awakening in
New York today was Governor
Hughes. As to the panic. he said 1t
came "A year ago i'm October Pros
perity so great resulted in wildcat
schemes and consequently loss of con-
iidence. and then the panic This,
he said. was not widespread and was
rapidly disappearing, and with Re
publican success would speedily dis
appear altogether Such. he deelar-
ed, would not be the case with Dem
ocratic success.
Bryan said n year ago that the
recent panic was not due to Roose-
velt," said Mr. Taft. "He now says
it was due to Roosevelt. The change
in one year is not exceptional In
Bryan's career"
