overfiowing long before the hour of
the speaking.
Mr.. Taft's speech was a general
defense of the republican party, and
especially of the policies of Presiden.
Roosevelt. He paid beautiful trib-
ute to Abraham Lincoln, whose
birthday occurs tomorrow.
He said Lincoln was a party man,

differ from Mr.. Roosevelt in respect
OF the proper course to be taken in
stamping out these abuses of cor

the various railroad companies to
sustain the charge that Contractor

of thousands of dollars for furnish

The states lawyers contend that
