entitled
Judge Taft said this to the Taft-Sher-
man Club Of Highlands. KY. which came
to the Sinton Hotel today to pledge its
support. His address throughout was an
expression of intense feeling regarding
the political condition Of the south.
The south, he said, had made wonder.
ful progress under the application OF the
republican principles OF protection. and
yet Il remained a perpetual asset to the
democracy os the north. to be delivered
en- bloc. no matter what might be the Is
sue or interest at stake.
He Should so there. he said, and show
why the prosperity Of the south depended
upon the enforcement of republican poll
cies; he was rot going because he be-
licved re could carry the states he Wis
tied, but added that he had assurances
from some quarters that his work would
not altogether be hopeless in the coming
campaign and would do good for the
future.
What the South Has Lost.

pacty.

there are reasons accommodating every

that they have on the system OF protec-

rather than the democratic ticket, and
believe In the last presidential election
and inside elections there has been q
that this Is not the time for complete
revolution to take place. but that Il is
coming am as confident ~ am Of any
thing In the future. and 1t would crafty
campaign for which I ana more or less
responsible and. therefore. in which Z

A Campaign Of Education.
"Y am going south to mako . Few
speeches. one In Kentucky. one In Ten.
nessee. one In North Carolina, ono In vir.
ginia and one in Maryland. not 50 much
with view to carrying those states. but
it is to show to those people down there
that no matter what they think. they are
part Of the Union. and being part Of the
Union they ought to vote for the party
the voting for which will make than
part OF the nation, and give them ipflu-
ence that people Of their intelligence and
progress and energy and enterprise ought
to have"
The speech was heartily applauded. and
the candidate concluded the political ac-
tivities in his home city by personally
meeting the members OF the club.
Mr.. Taft busted himself during the day
in cleaning UP his Office matters. pre-
paratory to leaving Monday morning on
a campaign trip which will keep him con-
stantly on the road until election morn
