ENrHUsIAsM FOR TAFT.
Great Crowds In Indiana to Greet Can-
 dldnte.

0t0ntes
 Indianapolis, Oct. 23.-Today's exhi- bition of political enthusiasm attend, ing William H. Taft's tour in Indiana was such. as to eclipse all previous campaigns, according to the National and State leaders who have been with the Taft special. So great were t1ie crowds everywhere that even the ar engagements of the local committees were overridden. -., e. MT. Taft talked less and exhibited" more than heretofore in the campaign, owing to the vastness of the crowds. This one note dominated his thought expressed in his speeches today: "In- diana is surely alive to her political responsibility and the character of her enthusiasm means the success of the Republican party"
 A drizzling rain for a part of the day and bad railroad service which made the train more than an hour late seemed to make no impression on the demand for a look at the candidate.
 Beginning at Brazil, with a largely attended meeting at o'clock this morning. MT. Taft made a fifty mile circuit clear around Indianapolis, which was reached at o'clock tonight. Crawfordsville. Lafayette, Frank fort and Kok omo were visited in turn and at each place there turned out populace teeming with enthusias sm. Marion's crowd was so dense that Sem ator Hemenway, who followed close on the heels of Judge Taft to the court house steps lost his pocket book with out realizing it for some time.
 Muncie, the next stop, presented in- surmountable obstacles in the way of people and the candidate simply rode in the line of march and abandoned all attempts to reach the speakers stand.

 During this time Senator Hemenway and half dozen of the speakers which the Taft train carried. furnished en- tertainment for the big crowd which persisted in remaining despite the driz- zling rain.
 At Kokomo a tin roof which had been used as a grand stand by nearly two hundred boys and men fell in while Taft was talking from the car platform. He asked about the acci- dent and learned that none had been hurt. well, that Is the biggest luck eJaculated with much feeling.
 One of the candidates brief and characteristic speeches was delivered at Anderson after dark and in the rain, but to large and enthusiastic audience. He paid a tribute to For mer President Harrison.
 It was reserved for Indianapolis to furnish the climax of the day of crowds and noise. A tremendous pa- rade awaited his arrival. with the ac. ceBsOries multiplied and enhanced.
 Three metings were addressed by the candidate, his extended effort of the day being before an immense au- dience at the Virginia avenue audi torium, where Vice President Fair banks presided
 Senator Hemenway and Representa- tive OVerstreet offlciated at the two other meetings which were held in the open.

 He held on to the bars momentarily and a moment later the train had att tatned such speed that he was afraid to turn loose. Still clinging to tho platform he was dragged all the way across the Chattahoochee river bridge a distance of several hundred feet.
 That he retained his hold was re- markable but he did not turn loose un- til the Georgia side was reached when he fell to the ground IS feet below. His injuries will not prove fatal

Boom of
Governor Fort,
New Jersey.

FWNIIE recent inaugural address OF
Governor John Franklin Fort
M of New Jersey, in which he
made recommendation to the
legislature Of the commonwealth re-
garding regulation of large corpora
tions, has directed national attention to
that executive His uttCranccs on this
subject are understood to have received
emphatic approval from President
Roosevelt, and when not long after the
publication of the address Governor
and Mrs. Fort and Everett Colby, the
New Jersey rcformer, were guests OF
the president and his wife at dinner at
the White House the tongue of gossip
started waggng over the possibility of
a Republican ticket being made up
reading Taft and Fort.
Governor Fort has been hailed as n
reformcr of a conservative type. In
his inaugural address he advocated the
passage by the New Jersey legislature
Of a public utilities law that will meet
all the demands of the most advanced
thought upon governmental regulation
Of public utility corporations In dis
cussing the subject he said: "Thc time
has come for the strict supervision Of
these great corporations and the limita-
ton Of their stock and bond issues
under some proper public official. It
will make for conservatism and
strengthen the companies doing lcgit-
innate business and eliminate those
merely speculative in character"
Governor Fort belongs to family
which claims as its ancestors some OF
the earlier settlers of New Jersey. II
was in 1861 that Roger Fort came TO
America in the good ship Kent. He
was with the first party of Quakcrs
who laid the foundations Of Burling-
ton. one trunk contained all his
worldly possessions, and this trunk the
| pioneer Fort thought so much of that
| in his will still on file in the statchouse
| mt Trenton, he made special mention
Of 1t, referring TO it as his "English
live oak trunk" and signifying that
| he intended It TO be handed down from
generation TO generation. 1t has al
| ready passed through the hands Of six
representatives of the family. For a
time it disappeared, but recently was
discovered by Attorney John Fort ol
