KANSAS CITY. Oct. 5.-It has
been definitely decided that Judge
Taft shall close his campaign ON the
night of November at Youngstown,
Ohio. The national campaign of the
party was opened at that place with
Governor Hughes as the principal
speaker and it has been deemed fit
ting that the national candidate

interesting from the indication it
points to that the candidate will be
occupied actively right up to the
last. After the Youngstown meeting
Mr.. Taft will leave at once for Gin
cinnati to cast his vote the follow
ing day.
HARD TO GET REST.
Candidate Taft had an exceedingly
hard time to carry out what he de-
sired and had planned program of
rest yesterday. He reached the city
at o'clock yesterday morning from
Topeka and was met by a local vel
coming committee. consisting of Sen
ator William Warner. Representative
r. c. Ellis and State Chairman w.
S. Dickey. They escorted him to the
Baltimore hotel. where private
breakfast party occupied an hour or
more, and demands of local politi-
clans for Just "A hand shake" con
sumed the time until the church
hour. With Mr.. Ellis. the candidate
attended services at the Beacon Hill
Congregational church and from
there lunched at the residence of Mr..
Dickey.
An automobile ride over the nu-
merous bouleyards of which Kansas
City is proud was taken. after which
the real work of the day began for
/ the tired campaigner. Mr.. Taft had
some time ago consented to talk of
/ the work of the Y M. c. A. to an
audience of men at the Independence
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church.
The audience completely filled the
church. and the crowd outside which
demanded admission was twice the
number of that inside. Windows in
the edifice were broken. so great was
| the eagerness of the crowd to get q
glimpse of the candidate, and 1t was
only after Ii had been announced that
Mr.. Taft would address the overflow
meeting that the inside meeting was
allowed TO proceed in quiet.

he made last Sunday 10 a similar
audience in st. Paul He gave his
strongest endorsement TO the work

in the Philippine islands. the Orient

that he had participated in dedica-
tion ceremonies over number of
Y. NJ. c. A. buildings in the past few
years. and had given the work all

capable His speech was received
with interest and enthusiasm. He
made no reference In any manner TO

When the outdoor meeting had
been addressed. Judge Taft was In
formed by a committee which had
been waiting for him that a large
meeting of negro men and women
had assembled in the Independence
Baptist church with the full expecta
ton that he would come there and
say just word.
As Mr. Taft put II. when he stood
before the negro audience Pm
just looking in on you a moment as

lieyed the negroes of the United
