cincinnati. O.. Nov. 5.--Speaking
ito the Cincinnati Commercial club,
81 which he has been member for
fifteen years, Taft tonight brought
every member of the club to his feet
note Of prosperity for the country
for the next four years.
Every business man who Is obey
Ing the law may go ahead with all
the energy in his possession; every
enterprise which Is within the stat
sltes may proceed without fear of
interference from the administration,
when acting legally; but all interests
within the jurisdiction OF the federal
government may expect rigid ea-
forcement Of the laws against dis
honest methods, = was the keynote
sof what Mr.. Taft said.
The speech which Mr.. Taft deliv-
cred here tonight created a profound
sensation among the substantial
business men Of the city. who are
members of the club, which gave
him the dinner which had been ar
ranged long before the result of the
election could be known and they
arose as one man to the sentiments
he expressed. The neighborly fell
citation of the part OF the distin-
sguished guest, brought out the mu-
man side OF the next president In a
manner which was most touching
and was responded toawith the great
est enthusiasm.
Judge Taft told in a way which
no one has written of, the human
side Of his campaign.
81 have been the subject of a CO.
erie Of bosses," he declared with the
greatest good humor, "the demands
OF which left me on duty but to re-
spond to their calls from s. o'clock
In the morning to midnight, to the
calls Of the populace- and il I did
not respond the crowd after one
minute, made mighty shout, 4Hur
rah for Bryan"
In beginning, Mr.. Taft admitted
that 1t might not have been SO easy
to smile tonight If the kilograms Of
which passed be-
tween Linco1n and Cincinnati today
had been originated in this city in-
stead Of the home of the great Com
moner.
Seriously I" he declared, the indi
cations already are apparent and the
hopes which entertain are that
the business communities and the In
yestors Of both foreign nations and
among our people, will take heart In
carrying out the great enterprises
which have been projected and
which must he carried to deter
mination If the country Is to reach
Its full need OF prosperity and the
business attending.
Business men are to be shown
the lines Of legality and are TO be
directed in keeping Within the lines
Of legality. which lines have been
emphasized during the past four
years. Business men shall know
they are to conform to the laws upon
the statute books, and that no fav-
ors are to be expected for those who
break the laws.
ssThis shall be 50 that the men
who conduct legitimate business may
understand the government is back
OF them, and does not intend to do
anything to interfere with their le-
climate advancement"
After the applause which met the
declaration had subsided, Judge Taft
added
w 1T III 4 question of the definite
knowledge OF the statutes and Of
their clear understanding which
shall make the honest progress OF our
business possible. And this Il, in
my belief, ali that Is necessary tc
make that progress substantial and
enduring. " 4 "a

discussion.

arise ii my new care and, !" Judge
