 and enterprise which one finds here. Those are Chicago. Kansas City and Seattle. and say this with hesitation, lest there be some among those who
 hear me will object to the comparison as unjust and uncomplimentary." Referring again to his campaign, Mir Taft said with feeling that he was proud to have been the first Republi- can candidate for the presidency who had carried his canvas South of the
 Mason and Dixon line. This led him to a reference to his North Carolina dinner speech in New York, where he remarked on the advantages that might arise from a change in the political complexion of some of the Southern states. and pointed out the
 common ground upon which. in view
 of the causes which had led to the might now justify many Southerners to change their present associations and vote with the Republican party "In the presence of Democrats and Republicans here at a non-partisan banquet expressing the welcome of the whole community, it would neither be tcorteous nor appropriate for me to go into partisan discussion Mr. Taft continued. "I can only refer 10 the fact with qualification and congratula- tion that today expression of any political views of the South is pos. sible without inviting social ostracism or any of the penalties with which it might have been visited in the attI. tude which the controlling people of the South occupy towards the North and the government"
 The Presideht-elect then summar- ized the causes which had worked and were effecting this change-the Span ish war; the attitude of Mckinley, his lovable character and the principles he stood for in his campaigns; the suc- cession Of Roosevelt with his Geor- gian mother; and finally the wonder full business development of the South

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 15---As . prelude to his written speech. Mir. Taft. who be- gan to speak shortly before midnight paid his respects to those who had spoken before him.
 He the ntoid how he had enjoyed the 'possum. notwithstanding he had today received letter from Chicago begging him for the Ma tion's sake, for his own sake, and for Gods sake. not to touch the 'possum. and referring him to the eleventh chap ter of Leviticus.
 Mir Taft's speech was received with gerat enthusiasm. When he had finish. cd his health was pledged with hearty cheer.
 Governor Hoke Smith touched slight. ly upon the question of Political Sol. idarity" in his speech. His remarks re. lated to the New England States rather than to the South. After referring 10 the fact that Georgia had never furn- ished President of the United States but he claimed in part President Roose. welt "whoso mother was q noble daughter of this State.' Governor Smith said:
 "We have not furnished q President from South of the Ohio River in recent years. but neither has New England furnished one. nor the States West of the Mississippi We are sorry for New England Those States will never have another President until they cease sol. idly to stick to one political party. ' do not know what is the matter with the west I suppose they are just nat. urally too far from the State of ohie which is Virginia's only rival as the mother of Presidents.
 Turning to the President-eiect, Gov ernor- Smith said:
 'As our Senators and CongressnteU have supported President Roosevelt in many of his measures, so we expect them to support you in every measure which will lift our public standards"

maintained. The legislation affecting the great railway and Industrial lines needs amendment. not so much so as to change It's principle or object as to facilitate It's enforcement and make its violation less easy and advisable.
 "of course the immediate great work of the administration must be the re- vision of the tariff. Tn that work the South Is quite as much interested as the North. and would have an honest and genuine revision of such as has been promised by the party in power.
 The continuance of our Philippine policy with the improvement in the commercial relations with the islands and the United States we may reason ably anticipate and in that commercial improvement there Is no section Of the country more interested than the South.
 '"rhe great field of diplomatic care. attention and activity for the next thirty or forty years. so far as this country is concerned, is likely to be in the far Orient. The oriental trade which involves so much sale of metal products and of cotton products most nearly concerns the welfare of the South.
 "AlI these policies therefore may well call for the close scrutiny of those who are leaders of industry in Atlanta and other cities and ought to awaken on their part desire to exercise the legitimate influence that such a sec tion as this ought to exercise in re- sponse to the phases of the policies to be pursued.
 "All can do is to assure the South ern people that no interest of the South, whether 1t be to share an inter est with the North or whether 1t be a peculiar interest of It's own will not be neglected in the conduct of the gov ernment in so far as that conduct shall be under the control of It's chief execu- tive
 "I am glad that I came to Atlanta. I am glad to meet this most cordial and graceful hospitality and welcome extended to me as the coming presi- dent.
 T beg those of my hearers who diff fer with me politically not to suppose that their cordiality and courteous re- ception are misunderstood by me. know that they spring from an earnest and patriotic desire to pay proper respect to the great office to which |, have been elected, and that they grow out of a sincere wish and proper as- sumption that having been elected to the chief masistracy, I shall become the president not only of party, but of a whole united people,"

Attitude Toward SOuth.
 The relation of the national ad- ministration to a section like this, in the distant past has been that al- most of an alien government to a colony. The direct local effect of a national administration upon the South Is chiefly through It's local officials, appointed and exercising their func- tions through the section, and, there- fore. the expression of the administra- ton towards the Southern people takes its color in the character of those officials. and. therefore, the adminls- tration may be properly held account able and its policies determined by the qnalificat tiOns, fitness and standing of the men appointed to represent it in the districts and States of the section.
 II realize, therefore, that in express sions of sympathy with the South, and an earnest desire to bring 1t closer to the central Government in thought and action and feeling will have compara- lively little weight unless this express sion Is accomplished by such appoint ments in the South as shall prove this sympathy to be real and substantial. The difficulty of making proper selec- tions in a part of the country where the sensibilities of the people are dif- ferent from those of ones own section, where conditions of society differ so radically and where there are no &C., credited representatives selected by the people of the same party as the ad- ministration, Is very great indeed. It is a question of evidence, and evil dence very difhcult to get, and when secured hard to weigh. because it Is only judgment and estimate and gem erally not a mere statement of a con crete fact.
 All I can say with reference to the future policy Of the administration on the South on this subject Is that ex- pect to spare no effort to find out the facts In respect to the character of the proposed appointees, and so far as in me lies. to select those whose char acter and reputation and standing in the community commend them to their fellow citizens as persons qualified and able to discharge their duties well, and whose presence in important positions will reveal. if any such exists, the sense of administration Of good gov ernment which they represent.

PRESIDENT TAFT IN
BOSTON

Boston, Mass, Sept 14.-Presi-
dent Taft was the observed of all OBJ
servers upon his arrival in Boston
today from his summer home at Bev-
erly. Among the hundreds who
came in contact with him there was
comment unlimited in regards to his
appearance Of robust health, and the
opinion was universally expressed
that his sojourn on the north shore
had put him in fine fettle to stand
the wear and tear of the transconti-
mental journey upon which he Is to
start tomorrow morning
The chamber OF commerce banquet
in honor of the president tonight bids
fair to outshine all of the similar
functions given in Boston in recent
years. Arrangements have been
made to seat nearly 1000 diners in
Mechanics building, where the al
fair takes place. and it is expected
an additional 1000 spectators will
fill the spacious galleries. Included
among the guests are to be many
men of national reputation.
