secretary and manager of the Battle
Creek Breakfast Food company, limit
ed, with general offices in Chicago, as

RAINS ALIKE ON
TAFT AND BRYAN
Cnnt,nned from Pare ono


placed the boys ruddy face between his
hands and kissing him.
Robert was taken aboard and was
an admiring listener to his father
speech at Port Chester on the way
back. Here tremendous crowd had
assembled for the purpose of listening
to both William j. Bryan and Mr.. Taft,
who were due there about the same
time.
Judge Taft arrived first and, was met
with. cheers and the waving of many
small flags.
Going to New Haven. Mr.. Taft spoke
to crowds in the rain at Stamford,
South Norwalk and Bridgeport, all stops
not contemplated in his schedule.
When the Taft special reached New
York on it's return at 4:30 p. m. the
candidate was taken to the Montauk
club, Brooklyn, accompanied by State
Chairman Woodruff, where he was the
guest of honor at. a dinner participated
in by 100 prominent Republicans of that
city.
Auto Rides Difficult
It required an automobile ride of an
hour in heavy downpour of rain for
Mr.. Taft to reach the Montauk club in
Brooklyn, where he had dinner. He
arrived there at o'clock. A five-mile
automobile ride brought Judge Taft
to his first meeing.
The streets were crowded. The au-
ditorium in Metropolitan Sanger hall
was filled with a Jewish audience, and
after five minutes of cheers had been
given for Taft the assemblage paid a
hearty tribute to Oscar Straus, secre-
tary of commerce and labor, whose
brother is a famous New York Demo-
cratic leader.
At Congress hall, the next meeting,
the audience was of the same charac-
ter. Mr.. Taft launched into speech
to show why there was no good reason
for changing the policy of the admin
istration.
''How about the panic, Billy?" came
a voice.
Mr. Taft answered by saying that
Theodore Roosevelt had awakened the
business moral conscience of the coun-
try and then claimed the exponent of
this moral awakening in New York
was Governor Hughes.
AS to the panic, he said 1t came
year ago, in October. Prosperity so
great resulted in wildcat schemes and
consequently loss of confidence, and
then the panic.
Taft to Prevent Panlcs
This, he said, was now rapidly dis
cess would speedily disappear alto
gether. Such, he declared, would not
be the case with Democratic success.
He did not say why, however.
At Arion hall the candidate found
an immense audience awaiting him. 1t
was composed largely of Germans. Mr..
Taft declared that to the German
Americans belonged great credit for
the defeat of the free silver heresy''
in 1896. Bryan, he said, could, If elect
ed, put the country on a silver basis
by executive order. This would be
bad, he thought-very bad.
Thirty-two blocks of a parade which
divided on each side of the street, and
through which Mr.. Taft passed, was
the big feature of the evening.
When the candidate reached the
Clermont rink he reviewed the issues
to an immense audience, did the same
at the New Academy of Music, and
was then received with great enthu-
siasm at the Union League club.

pectations.
The returns tonight indicate an al
most evenly divided membership IN
Ontario compared with 39 Liberals
and AZ Conservatives in the last house.
The opposition gained slightly in
Manitoba, but the Liberals carried the
remainder OF the west with few excep-
tionS.
Nova Scotia, which at the last gem
