John MITCHELL
| The city was alive with political activ.
ity throughout the day, meetings being
in progress long before the Taft special
arrived. Among the prominent speakers
| at the several meetings were United
States Senator Lafollette, Secretary Gar
|
sylvania.
Judge Taft's three speeches here to-
night dwelt largely with the labor ques-
ton and again he emphasized his denial
of charges against him of unfairness, and
asserted his fricndliness to labor. His
| special train left shortly before II O'Clock
| for Cincinnati, where it will arrive early
| tom orrow morning.
When Mr. Taft stepped on the Park
| theatre stage tonight he faced an audi
ence almost wholly friendly but of an in
curing turn of mind. Several persons
| called to him before he began his speech:
"What about the full dinner pail?'
| Il am going to talk to you tonight
| said Mr. Taft, "abeut the reasons labor
| ing men should support the ticket and
my talk will cover the question of the
| full dinner pail" Mr.. Taft then made his
| tariff argument, showing from his point
of view that protection of American man.
ufacturers protected also the men who
worked for the manufacturers against the
pauper labor of Europe. When he had
finished that part of the speech, ques-
TONERS in the audience still insisted that
the full dinner pair' question had not

| "All right, I will answer you''
He then spoke of the recent panic and
said that if labor men wished to fill the
dinner pail that had been depleted by the
recent depression they would have ia
choose between himself, as representing
the party that had legislated for both la
Dor and capital. and Mr.. Bryan. who had
only theorized on both subjects
From this argument Mr. Taft went tc
his own labor record and his aggressive
ness and independence won the applause
of the crowd. He made the same speech
practically later at the Grand Opera
house.
When Mr. Taft ended this address to.
night he had made AIS speeches in al days
the first speech of the tour having beer
made at George AIDES farm in Indiana
Sept. %.
He said today that he would not make
any predictions of his own but that he
believed Chairman Hitchcock was con
sentative in mis- estimate of 325 clectora
votes for the Republican ticket
