OF Taft Furnished by People Of
St. Louis and Vicinity.
PLANS FOR RECEPTION UPSET
Crowd at the Planters Hotel Sweeps
Aslde Guards at the Door and
Swarms into Lobby.

St Louis. Oct. with a twelve.
hour demonstration of cordially, pO-
litical enthusiasm and interest, this
city furnished an appropriate climax
TO the Western campaign trip of Will
lam H. Taft, which ended here.
The candidate spoke TO an immense
audience in the nearly finished Coli
scum, from which as many were
turned away as got in. He followed
this with an open-air address at Clay
ton, suburb and county seat Of ST
Louis county, and then rushed TO East
st. Louis, where he addressed a large
gathering of employees of the stock
yards.
Vast crowds greeted Judge Taft
here. The line of march from the sta
ton to the Planters hotel was
through two crowds Of people who
blocked either side of the sidewalk
and street.
The plans for an orderly reception
to the public at the Planters hotel
were upset by the crush Of men and
women who swept aside the guards at
the door and pushed their way into
the lobby and up the big staircase! II
was seen at once that nothing could
be done with the crowd and pass
ageway was cleared for the candidate
to get away. On reaching the first
landing he turned and said with a
smile: "As l remember mythology,
there was gentleman named
Briareius who had a hundred hands.
wish had them all for my friends,
the people of st. Louis
Candidate Allowed to Rest.
Once in his room, Mr.. Taft was
furnished with two pitchers of milk,
and allowed to rest.
He was next escorted to the Coli
scum by committee in long line of
carriages, of which his was the last.
The speech he delivered to this
audience was comprehensive, but the
position of the candidate on the ques-
ton of trust regulation was made the
important feature.
"How about labor unions?" he was
asked.
II have done more for union labor
than Mr. Gompers,' was the quick re-
tort, and then Mr.. Taft explained that
the decisions he had rendered as a
judge on the bench, and which were
now being misrepresented as placing
him against unionism, were really be-
ing used at present in the courts by
union labor as the Basis of their
rights.
Another interruption was a query
about campaign contributions. The
reply was>that so far as he knew, no
contributions had yet been made that
would have the slightest tendency to
embarrass anyone.
After the three speeches had been
made Mr.. Taft was escorted to the ho-
tel from where he reviewed the gro
tesoue parade of the Yelled Prophet.
Mr.. Taft visited the ball for few
minutes but did not participate in the
festivities.
Before reaching ST. Louis Mr.. Taft
had a strenuous day in a number OF
Missouri towns. Good times had re-
suited from protection and bad times
from a Democratic tariff, was the bur
Gen of the Taft speech at Moberly
and throughout the day.
Mr. Taft left ST Louis for Chicago,
where he will address the deep water
ways convention, go to Galesburg TO
attend the celebration of the Lincoln
Douglas debate, and then return TO
Chicago in time for banquet, at
! which Mr.. Bryan is also to be a guest.
