Front Porch Eliminated.
Judge Taft devoted the greater por-
ton of the day at his private quarters
working on the speeches he is sched-
uied TO deliver through the middle west
and northwest. He announced that
work would engross his attention, to
: the exclusion of everything, callers or
delegations. This announcement is
taken TO mean practical abandonment
or the front porch campaign which was
contemplated when he came to the
city. Durisg the short time the candi-
date spent at his office I'm the Hinton
hotel today he was visited by a num-
Der of local politicians.
Man From Abroad.
He also had a conference with A. w.
Carpenter of New York who has Just
returned from a ten weeks business
trip through Germany and Great
Britain
Business in both Germany and Eng
land is in deplorable condition" he
said. THE number of unemployed
workmen is greater than has been
known for many years. Most of the
financial and business disturbances
which have affected the workingmen
so severely is attributed to over-exten-
. sion and over-straining of business
lcredits.

American business men is much more
cheerful and optimistic than ten weeks
ago. and conditions generally have i'm
proved in that time, for the reason,

Mrs. Carrie Nation, without her
Ratchet, dropped into town early today
and went direct 10 the Pike street ad-
dress Of Judge Taft. The judge him.
self admitted Mrs. Nation to the spa
cious hall
you know me?" she demanded with
out preliminaries.
The candidate admitted that from
the public prints he knew who Mrs.
Nation was.
We'll. l have come here to have a
discussion with you on the liquor ques-
ton" was her next remark.
You will have to excuse me from
entering upon any discussion with
you" was Mr. Tafts half-smiling re-
ply. whereupon Mrs. Nation began one
of her characteristic speeches against
the drink evil, not overlooking a con-
domination of all those who did not go
valiantly TO the work of reform as she
believed 1t should be carried on,
Judge Taft was modestly backing
away, and Mrs. Nation. seemingly
somewhat awed with what she was
doing backed her way out of the door
and the interview was ended.
