Constructive Platform

Republicanism stands today for pro-

world our capacity and US his own. In

TAFT WILL SPEAK
IN MANY PLACES
Demands From West for Pres
ence Of Republican Nominee
Will Be Satisfied
Travelling Campaign to Be Made
in Doubtful States Dur-
ing October

MIDDLE BASS, o., Sept. William
H. Taft will make travelling campaign
during the month of October. devoting
his time principally to those states
which the national committee may con-
slider doubtful, if the ideas of both, the
candidate and his national chairman,
Frank III. Hitchcock, as expressed to-
day, are carried out
Taft had let it be known before he
left Hot Springs that he rather favored
activity for himself during the CAM
paign, but he indicated then that the
matter was one for the decision of the
national committee. and the decision
of that body had been that the .candi-
date should remain in Cincinnati to
conduct a dignff1ed canvass.
Mr.. Hitchcock has changed his
mind" was the expression of Judge
Taft. after the hours conference he had
today with the national chairman. This
change was undoubtedly because OF
the pressure which has been brought
to hear on him in the demands for
speeches and the presence of the candi-
date, especially from the west.
WEST AND EAST INCLUDED
Taft indicated that although the
greatest demand for his presence had
come from the west this would not
preclude his appearance in eastern
states, and that when the tour was
decided on it would undoubtedly reach
both east and west.
Chairman Hitchcock, who is on his
way to New York. missed the regular
boat at Detroit and was able to make
his visit to Judge Taft by the courtesy
of Colonel Frank J. Hecker of Detroit,
who brought the chairman here with
a party of distinguished residents of
klxo{ nft oc oh hn ,t
Halcyon. Before sailing on the Hal
cyon for Sandusky, Hitchcock had this
to say:
DEMAND FOR SPEECHES
II had a very fine talk with Judge
Taft for a long time about the demand
that he go on a speech making tour.
west, in fact all over the country. a
demand that is so strong, so over
whelming, that I do not know whether
it is possible to refuse it.
"Party leaders thought it best that
he should not go personally into the
campaign, but the situation is different
now from what it was then. Party
organizations want him, want to see
him. That trip that Judge Taft made
through Ohio has convinced all that
he has made good as a campaigner. 1t
is possible, therefore, that by October
1 he will go out to make some speeches.
He would only go into some of the
doubtful states, although / could not at
this time specify the states.
PEOPLE CALL FOR TAFT
81 am personally inclined to favor
the idea that the Judge go out because
the people want him and because it is
a great appeal.
Il also went over with Judge Taft
the situation, state by state. telling
him of the reports I have received and
what the party leaders have said.
There is no doubt that he will win If
we make the right kind of campaign
and keep at it,
Wade III. Ellis, who will tender his
resignation as attorney general of
Ohio to became assistant attorney gem

HOUSE WARMING
FOR FRANKLINS
Complete Line of Franklin 'os Models
Shown in New Salesroon1--Shop
and Garage Roomy and Have
Excellent Features

Ralph Hamlin acted as host last
evening at his new garage on South
Olive, the occasion being a house
warming and display of the 1909 models
of Franklin automobiles.
Quite a number were prevented from
attending the very creditable display
and partaking of the hospitality of the
most popular motor car dealer in town
on account of the inclement weather.
In the salesroom were grouped six
new cars that had been unloaded this
week from the railway train. They
comprised the line of Franklins that
will be shown this year and the various
models seem to cover the ground fully,
leaving little to be desired in point of
construction or design.
The most attractive car on the floor
was the big seven-passenger touring
car done in French gray. 1t is six
cylinder model and with the long, slim
hood and straight line effect of the
body, presents an appearance of speed
and beauty.
A very pretty four-cylinder roadster
with double rumble also was an at
tractive part of the exhibit
Several floral pieces which had been
sent to Hamlin by his friends added
the finishing touch to the tasty deco
rations of the handsome salesroom.
The shop and garage were also
opened for inspection. The entire floor
of the garage is clear. there being no
posts or other Instructions to prevent
the easy manipulation of cars on the
floor.
An L that extends from the main
part of the building gives an entrance
on Twelfth street, besides a driveway
leading to Olive street outside the
building.
