A Great Moral Awakening
In Past Four Years. De-
CldreS the Secretary

Kansas City. Feb. l-Fifteen
thousand people gave Secretary Taft
splendid ovation at the banouet
given by the Young Republican asso
citation of Missouri last night. ar
which the secretary was the guest of
honor. Convention hall was crowded
and when the secretary rose to sneak
he was received with an outburst Of
cheers. His speech, in which he de-
Tended the work of President Roose-
welt was applauded, and at its conclu-
sion he was compelled to shake hands
with hundreds of people who throng-
ed to the speakers platform. He said
in part:
we are passing into regime of
an irresponsible plutocracy. During
the last four years there has been a
great moral awakening to this danger
among the people, and a popular de-
mand that the awbreakers-no mat
ter how wealthy or how high or pow
erful their posltion-shall oe made to
suffer. Under the leadership of The
odore Roosevelt, the Republican party
has not faltered in its determination
to meet the requirements of this situ-
aion and to enact such legislation as
may be necessary to bring to close
this period of illegal corporate i'm
munHy. There are those who have
been members of the Republican
parry who differ with Mr.. Roosevelt
In respect to the proper course to be
taken In stamping out these abuses of
corporate wealth. The great bulk of
the Republican party. however, stands
solidly at his back in the work which
he and his representatives of the
party In congress are doing"
Need Vigorous Action
In conclusion Secretary Taft said:
Vigorous action and measures to
stamp out existing abuses and effect
reforms are necessary to vindicate So
ciety as at present constituted. 9th
erwise We must yield to those who
seek to Introduce a new order of
things on a socialistic basis.
THE Republican party follows the
administration upon this social ana
reform ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS its atti-
tude In favor OF vested rights, Of
maintaining the power of the courts,
OF rendering more equal by leg station
the basis of dealing between employ
er and employe, OF strengthen ng the
regulative power over corporations,
and of prosecuting those law br akers
who continue to defy public opinion.
Roosevelt leads his party as Lincoln
led his--as Mckinley led his--to meet
the new issues. to arm our present
civilization and fit it with bold
front TO resist the attacks OF social
ism, ana TO transmit 10 the coming
generations unnarmed legal institu-
tion Of liberty Inherited from our
fathers"
