in all of our previous national life.
1t, therefore, gives me genuine
pleasure, Mr.. Taft, to present TO you
this formal nomination from the re-
publican party, whose governmental
policies have for SO long kept in bal
ance the mighty forces of the nation"
ana TO whose continued guidance of
the nation we have every reasonable
right to believe that the people are
now looking.
Taft In Reply.
In his response Judge Taft said in
part:
Gentlemen, the strength of the re-
publican cause in the campaign at
hand is in the fact that we represent
the policies essential to the reform of
known abuses, to the continuance of
liberty and true prosperity, and that
we are determined, as our platform
unequivocally declares, to maintain
them and carry them on For more
than 10 years this country passed
through an epoch of material develop
ment far beyond any that ever oc-
CURED in the world before. III its
course, certain evils crept in. Some
prominent and influential members of
the community, spurred by financial
success and in their hurry for greater
wealth. became unmindful of the
common rules of business honesty and
fidelity and of the limitations imposed
by law upon their action. This be-
came known. The revelations of the
breaches of trust, the disclosures as
TO rebates and determinations by rail
ways, the accommodating evidence of
the violation of the antitrust law by
a. number of corporations, the over
issue of stocks and bonds on inter-
state railways for the unlawful en-
ricbing of directors and for the pur-
pose of concentrating control of rail
ways in one management. all quick
ened the conscience of the people. and
brought on a moral awakening among
them that BODIED well for the future
of the country.

recommending legislation and directl

principle good in actual performance.
He secured the passage of the so
called rate bill, designed more effect

VALE CREWS TO TRAIN
At SPRINGFIELD HEREAFTER.

Springfield, July 8.-Charles T. Shean.
| foremost advocate of the plan for
bringing the Yale Harvard boat race
back to Springfield, has announced
that arrangements have been practi-
cally completed by which the Yale
oarsmen will do their training next
spring on the national regatta course
here. Mr.. Shean stated also that he Is
confident the big boat race will be
rowed on the Connecticut in less than
five years.
He states that Lake Whitney in New
Haven, on which the Yale crews work
ed out during the annual Easter va
caticn, is no longer available and that
the Yale navy will have headquarters
at the Rockrimmon Boat Club here
during the next Easter vacation.
New Haven, CT, July 8.-Rowing au-
thorities at Yale University today say
they are highly amused at the story
emanating from Springfield, Mass, to
the effect that the Yale crews will
train next spring and before the the
annual regatta with Harvard on the
national regatta course at that city. 1t
is declared that there are no facts to
warrant such change in training
quarters. Yale now owns it's buildings
and land at Gales Ferry. The Yale
crews do not have and never had
their Easter training on Lake Whitney
here. The only time the crews take to
that sheet is for the May regatta. The
training is done in the harbor here I'M
til the time for the crews to go to
Gales Ferry. Hereafter Whitney lake
will be used for the spring regatta.
Coach Kennedy said today that he
knew nothing Of any proposed change
in training waters
An authority on rowing at the uni
vcrsity states that the change would
only come after protracted negotia-
tons with Harvard and at present
there Is nothing in sight to induce q
change.
The Springfield course Is admitted
to be an excellent one, but it is thought
by Yale men that Harvard is we'll sat
isffed with the Thames river.
