TWO CANDIDATES ATTEND OPEN
ING SESSION OF LAKES TO THE
GULF WATERWAYS MEETING
IN CHICAGO.
WILL MEET AT A
BANQUET TONIGHT
TAFT DELIVERED ADDRESS ON
WATERWAY QUESTION AND
THEN LEFT FOR GALEsBURG--
DELEGATES INSPECT CANAL.

Chicago, Oct. National attention
vas directed to the opening of the
Lake-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways con-
Fention today when the Republican
md Democratic nominees for the pres
Aency arrived in Chicago preparatory
% doing their part in the gathering
towards promoting deep waterway
project that will link the Great Lakes
With the Ocean.
Candidates are Greeted.
Bryan was the first to arrive. He
was greeted at this station by a dele
cation that included the officials of
both the waterways convention and
the Democratic national committee.
Two hours later Taft received a sim
liar greeting and was escorted to the
convention hall, where he delivered
the first of the notable speeches that
will mark the three days sessions.
When the convention was called to
order every delegate seat was filled
and the galleries Of the Auditorium
theater were filed with spectators.
The appearance OF Taft, who was in
troduced by Governor Deneen, was
the signal for an ovation that lasted
many minutes.
Delegates on Jaunt.
With the exception of a speech by
President Kavanaugh, outlining the
work of the association and the sue
cess it had attained, only official bust
ness occupied the convention until
the introduction of Taft. At the
conclusion of his speech, the Repub-
fo 1ogf b,,, fpr
Galesburg, ILL.,, where he made a
speech before returning to meet
Bryan at the banquet of the Chi
cago association Of Commerce in the
evening. Various committees were
appointed and the convention adjourn
ed for the day to permit the dele
gates to make personal inspection
of the deep waterway route between
Chicago and Joliet.
No Politics in Taft Speech.
In his speech before the conven-
ton Judge Taft confined himself to
an argument in favor of the sys-
omatic Improvement Of the inland
waterways. He pointed out that ,othe
enormous increase of production in
all lines Of industrial activity had
outstripped the ability Of the railroads
to transport them, and that lower
freight rates to the seaboard which
waterways would bring about were
necessary for the retention Of foreign
trade.
The speaker argued that the policy
of waterways does not operate dis
advantageously against the railroads,
even though it compels lower rates,
because, In the natural economy OF
transportation, bulky raw material,
commanding lower freight charges,
falls to the waterways, while the man
ufactured goods seek the railroads.
He said that inland navigation is
necessary not only for the sake OF
the vast benefits which 1t will confer
directly on all the consumers of trans
ported merchandise, but is equally
necessary as one Of the central feat
ures Of the great policy of conserva-
ton of our natural resources on
which our whole future depends.
