JUDGE TAFT's SPEECH.
"My friends. before 7 get through
with you tomorrow you will understand

formation which has been limited at to-
|day and of which / shall receive full
account of tomorrow. / am here only
10 have n friendly talk and to identi-
Ify myself as far as possible with the
HOhio campaign. Republicans of this
country have been in the habit of elect
Ilng to office their Ohio candidates, and
II should be very much disappointed If
There was to be any exception to that
irule, but We should be very unwise to
hose a controversy like this through
lover confidence. We must know, those
4of us who face the facts, that we are
ameeting a large, strong party, headed
3by an able, forceful and experienced
candidate. and we should be exceeding
In imprudent If we belittle the forces
behind him and the resources of an able
4leadar. Therefore 1t is our duty as Re
Epublicans to see to II that the Repub-
q lican cause has behind 1t all the force
&of discipline, all the force of OrganiZa-
3ion that our sincere belief and interest
Hin our cause requires. Organization Is
ssuch as is absolutely necessary. 1t
