REAL SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY

part of the union and as such Is en- titled to be considered in the present campaign. Judge Taft spent the day talking in the towns and cities of Kentucky.
 He is the first Republican presI- dental candidate to campaign in the Blue Grass State.
 Mr. Taft will be the first Republican presidential candidate to carry his campaign into Tennessee, North Caro- lima and Virginia which he proposes to visit in the next two days. Ills reception has been a duplication of proverbial southern hospitality. The crowds which greeted him at the dozen places he spoke today. were large and evinced every phase of political enthusiasm. The attention he received while ,expounding Republican doctrine was such as to indicate more than passing interest.
 Evidently impressed by his cordial reception. the candidate made many references to it during the day At Lexington. where he addressed an ini~ mense audience which filled the larg- est theatre in the city. he said:
 Tt Is a great pleasure to talk to Kentucky Republican audience. We entered Kentucky at Ashland this morning and we have every evidence that Kentucky is awake to the impor-
  lican column on the third of November next. I don't feel like putting Kap- lucky in the solid south or talking to her citizens in the strain which may we'll be adopted toward the citizens of states further south. feel as if Ken- lucky had largely placed herself in position where we have a right to come to her and treat her as if she were Republican State, She has Republican governor. She has . Re- publican Senator and she has num- Der of Republican Congressman and hope she will have more. Assuming therefore that the pre3udices and the traditions which affect states further south have but ,iIttfe wef2ht Here, want to invite your attention td the question which presents itself te the unprejudieed voter in the next Noyen- Der election"
 Guarantee of Deposits.
 For the second time sincs his w'srk on the stump began. Mir. Taft today made reference to the governnent guarantee of bank deposits. which Mr. Bryan is engaged in urging in the west. On that subject at Lexington. he paid his respects to his opponent a follows:
 "Mr Bryan has another proposition that is going to be the panacea for everything and that is the guaranty or bank deposits. By that proposition. hA is going to make every respect able, honest banker become the securt- ty of anybody that desires to so into the banking business with the Idea Of getting a large line or deposits With \ very small capital and the result of that I don't think it takes a very clear headed business man to see.
 "In Oklahoma where is the place that they try out these experiments. they are now finding that banks are being organized with a capital of &i0.- 900 by people that have failed in the banking business before. by men that are under charges of embezzlement. but who are able 10 set deposits by saying to depositors. I am good fsi- low and want you to help me out. Put your money in my bank because the million dollar bank up here of Mir Smiths Is my security that you will get your deposits back.
 Now, that is not joke; that is real genuine statement of the eondi- ton that is to be produced by that guaranty of bank deposits prop0sttion. I don't cite it as a real and vital fssue in the campaign, because 1t can't be. but do cite 1t es an instance of the economic views of Mir. Bryan and do cite 1t as another case in which to prove. with hIs views, put him into power as the chief magistrate. you will take away the confidence Of the sensible business men of the coEnmuni- ty who control the Investments and when you do that you are going to bring us to four years more of finan- cial depression"
 The work of the day for Mir. raft was begun early this morning at Huntington. W. Va. where he was taken from the train to a rink and re- ceived by thousands. He spoke of the issues and of his confidence that West Virginia depended for her unequaied prosperity on the principles which the Republican party had enforced
 Advent in Kentucky.
 Then came the advent tn Kentucky. At Ashland the crowd was big and the cheers of the Eipping variety which brings the smile of qualification to the 
 T am overwhelmed by your num- ber." was the first words to the Ken lucky audience. At East Kentucky Junction. the next stop, he told the crowd that he believed Kentucky Re- publicans were better than other Re- pubIicans because they hei to hght for their, doctrine. ...,-..
 The Lexington meeting had been ar ranged with great-care by the local committee and the theatre where the meeting was held was packed an hour before the special arrived. By a fast run. the train arrived at Lexington a half-hour ahead Of time. This fact was said to account for the few people who greeted the candidate at the station and for his almost unnoticed transit from the train to the theatre. When he arrived at the theatre .he big can- didate made a decided hit by sitting on a chair which crumbled to the floor under him. Later. when speaking. he made a lesson of the Incident by stat ing that when it comes to affirmative policies the Democratic Party falls be- tween two chairs. just as have done.s
 The Capital of the Stete. Frankfort, turned out en masse to see and hear the candidate. He spoke from the steps of the old Capitol building. An enthu- siast tore three buttons from the can- didate's vest in endeavorthg to shake hands. To his Frankfort av5ience, Judge Taft spoke in part as follows:
