convincing proof, a result of the committees
first tentative efforts to ascertain the real choice
of the people.
ANY charge that the Taft organization Of the

without foundation. Many bankers and fnanciers

TAFT At 8 LUNCHEONS.
Discusses Conditions an the Orient at
Dinner an the EUemng.

Chicago, April 4.-Secretary Taft was the
guest at luncheon to-day Of the Chlcaso fresS
Club in the banquet hall of the Audltoriuni
Hotel There were seven hundred members and
guests present. Mr.. Taft spoke of the news
paper correspondents at Washington and or MS
own experience as reporter, saying that re-
porter would learn much by spending two years
in the PhilippineS-that he would see there
things which would increase his ability to ex-
aggerate and to cultivate his imagination
Later in the day Secretary Taft was the guest
at luncheon given by the Irish Fellowship
Club at the Great Northern Hotel and after
ward took luncheon with the officers and a few
personal friends at the Hamilton Club After
shaking hands with the members of the Ham,
ilton Club and their friends he later held pub
lie reception.
In a speech before the Commercial Club here
tonight Mr.. Taft discussed conditions in the
Orient, especially as they affect American
trade in China, Japan Korea and the Philip
pines. In discussing American trade with the
Philippines he referred to the very backward
and blind policy in respect to the Philippine
tariff, which 1 sincerely hope may be changed
in the near future"
The Secretary then turned TO the Chinese
trade Where we have consular represen-
tative at work. he said. Japan and Germany
have thirty forty. 1 stop for a moment to
point out the utter faulty of the policy of the
United States in respect to the salaries and
housing of her consular and diplomatic repre-
throughout the world. 1t is worth
while for this country to give its representa-
tives respectable establishment in every cOun-
try in which our nation is represented
Mr.. Taft also urged the propriety of a ship
subsidy for a line of steamers between the
Pacific Coast, Japan and China.

table Of Mr. Vorys. Mr.. Taft's manager, agrees
with The Tribune's in stating that 264 delegates

pose Of a tabulation, since those delegates with
prima facie titles must be put in the temporary
roll of the convention and act as delegates till
unseated, and it seems to the more logical
way 10 disfranchse no district but following
such evidence as is at hand, to make up com
