WILL Be BUSY WEEK
FOR SECRETARY
TAFT
He Campaigns in New Eng
land In EndedvOr to Sc
cure Public Favor.
YALE GRADUATES ARE
SOLlDLY FOR HIM

Washington, Feb. 17.-Secretary
Taft will have busy week of cam
paigning beginning today in New Eng
land, where he will contest with
Hughes for popular favor. He will
speak before the Taft club of Con-
cord, ~ H, tomorrow and on
Wednesday will go to New Haven to
address the Young Mems Republican
club and to attend meeting of the
Yale corporation. The Taft club of
Connecticut, which now has over 1000
members, will be his official escort.
Frank Butterworth, a former Yale
football player, is president of the
club, and Taft is officially supported
by Yale men in his campaign for the
presidency.
1t was the original intention of the
club to give a dinner in honor of Sec
retary Taft in the Yale dining hall,
but permission to do this has been
denied by Secretary Stokes of the
Yale corporation, who thinks that no
Yale building should be used for po-
litical purposes.
The strenuous week of Secretary
Taft will end Saturday night at Buff
falo, where he will deliver an ad-
dress on the political issues of the
campaign at the annual dinner of the
Ellicott club.
While Secretary Taft is campaign
ing in the east, his principal oppon-
ent for the Republican presidential
nomination will not be idle. Governor
Hughes will invade Cannon territory
on Saturday, when he will be the
principal speaker at the annual ban
quet of the Union League club of Chi
cago. The invitation is of a years
standing, and it is likely that Gov.
Hughes will take advantage Of the
occasion to give further expression TO
his political views.
Several district conventions for the
selection Of delegates to the Repub-
iican national convention will be held
during the week The convention Of
the Fourth Ohio district will be held
in Sidney tomorrow, that of the Nine
teenth Ohio in Warren on Wednesday,
the seventh Missouri in Sedalia to-
morrow and the Ninth Missouri in St
Charles tomorrow. All of these dele
cations viii presumably favor Secre-
tary Taft.
The Democrats of Oklahoma and
Kansas will hold state conventions
the latter part of this week when
delegates to the Denver convention
will be chosen. Bryan is a decided
favorite in both of these states and
no other presidential possibility will
be considered

From all l saw and heard in that

local improvements throughout the
empire is being diverted into the fund
that fortifies and strengthens the ma

can do in the way of making the big,

They have, in fact more modern

tricity than most people possess, and
are losing no chance to utilize this
tremendous power in every way.
Where in other countries hydraulic
power is Used and appears to be satis-

that no country can boast of "A system
of coast defense superior to that of

"A thing that impressed me in
