that In the event of the election of
Judge Taft as president of the United
States it will spend about $2.O00.0 900 in
doubling the capacity of it's cement
plant at Universal, Pa.
The plant is in the Pittsburg dis
trict, and with the additional facili-
ties will have an output of 10000 bar
rels per day, the largest of it's kind in
the United States.
1t will be necessary also that the |
Union railroad, owned by the Carnegie /
Steel company, increase it facilities for |
handling the output of this large plant /
The democrats expect to offset the |
gains that Mr.. Taft made in this county |
last Saturday with the Bryan speech on |
Saturday of this week.
1t was amusing to hear the comments |
of the crowd at the Michigan Central !
depot last Saturday night, after Mr.. |
Taft had finished his short speech. |
Some of those who heard him evidently !
failed to take into consideration the |
fact that the night air cut into his
inflamed throat so badly that he was
suffering.
Elkhart, Ind, Oct 24.-Among those
who went to Goshen to join the Taft
party and accompany it to Elkhart, late |
this afternoon, was James Lennon, the

injunction Lennon desires to accept
the local committees invitation to in
troduce Mr. Taft to the Elkhart crowd.
This plan needs only the Endorsement
of the managers of the Taft tour. The
first public speech Lennon ever made
was at Fort Wayne the other night
when he commended Judge Tafts ac-
ton in the injunction case.
