Therefore" he continued. I'VE should
progress to the point where no matter in
what part of the world an American cit
lien may be found. his certificate of cit
izenship shall be all that Is required to
insure his respect and good treatment.
Nothing. if I am elected President, will
give greater pleasure than to devise ways
and means to make the American pass
port respected the world over" After
great applause Mr.. Taft added: Don't
misunderstood me. What 1 am promising
is that every effort shall be made to this
end"
At Congress hall Mr.. Taft showed
that Theodore Roosevelt had awakened
the business moral conscience of the
country and that the exponent of this
moral awakening in New York today
was Gov. Hughes. AS to the panic.
he said it came year ago in October.
Prosperity 50 great resulted from the
wild cat schemes and consequence loss
of confidence, and then the panic.
This he said was not wide spread and
is now rapidly disappearing and with
Republican success would speedily dis
appear altogether. Such, he declared.
would not be the case with Democratic
success. The defeat of Mr.. Bryan in
1908 IS just as certain to bring good
times as his defeat in 1896.
At Arion hall the candidate found
an immense and cheering audience
awaiting him. Bryan, he said, could
il elected, put the country on silver
basis by Executive order. Mr.. Bryan.
he said, was absolutely unsound with
respect to business principles and poll
cies.
Thirty-two blocks of parade, which
divided on each side of the street and
through which Mr.. Taft passed, was
the big feature Of the evening.

Disastrous Fire at
Salisbury Beach.

Salisbury Beach, Mass. Oct. PA fire
which started in the New Era House this
morning swept along the beach. destroy
ing a large number of houses at the rear
of the railroad track At Las o'clock as
many as % summer cottages had been
burned and the fire was still sweeping
along uncontrolled. At that time the
front of the fire was close to Ocean ave.
nue., a quarter of a mile from the point
where it started. All the buildings burn
ed were wooden frame structure.
The wind was blowing fresh from the
northeast end carried the flames from
one building to another. Back of the rail-
road track. where the fire was raging
nearly all the structures were cheaply
built frame houses, occupied only in sum-
mer.
At . o'clock the fire had not extended to
any of the more valuable structures, in
Guiding the large hotels on the beach
on the other side of the railroad track
So quickly did the fire spread from the
New Era to the adjoining cottage that
assistance was asked from Newburyport
and Amesbury. but before the arrival of
help 1t looked as if the entire street back
of the railroad from the New Era to
Black Rock creek would be destroyed
The New Era has been closed for the
season. The cause of the fire could not
be learned.
The path of the blaze brcadened as the
fire progressed until sparks jumped the
railroad track and set fire to houses di-
rectlv on the beach. At go the fire was
burning on both sides of the track and
there appeared to be little prospect that
it would be stayed until it reached the
mouth of the Merrimack river, fully a
mile down the beach.
Conservative estimates place the prob.
able loss at upwards of SIS 900.
