TAFT DEFENDS
The TARIFF BILL
Declares 1t is the Best the
People Have Ever Known.
SCORES THE INSURGENTS

Says They Who Voted Against Payne
Bill Have Abandoned the Republican
Party-shows Revision Was Down
ward.
In the most important stterance that
he has made since his occupancy of
the White House. President William
II. Taft. at Winona, MINI. in a state
which is the hotbed OF the "insur-
gent" movement within the Republi-
can party defended the Payne tariff
bill as the best tariff measure ever
passed by a Republican congress and
hence the best tariff bill the people
have ever known.
The president boldly asserted that
the insurgents who voted against the
bill had abandoned the Republican
party.
Was IL the duty OF the member OF
congress who believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that it
ought TO accomplish. 10 vote against
it?" asked the president
II am here to justify those who an
swer this question in the negative.
am not here To defend those who Voted
for the Payne bill. but TO support
them"
To this statement the crowd in the
Winona Opera House responded with
a cheer which could be heard far down
the street. II was shouted by the adj
herents OF Representative James A.
Tawney. of this district, the chairman
OF the house committee on appropria-
tions. who has been on the defensive
ever since the ADJOURNMENT of congress
because he did not vote with the other
members OF the delegation from Min
nesota. both in the house and senate.

ITO make party government effec-
tive" said the president, ''the members
OF that party should surrender their
personal predictions of comparative
less importance. am not here to
criticise those who felt so strongly
and believed so intensely that 1t was
their duty to vote against the tariff
bill because IL did not contain all they
thought II should"
President Taft's speech was re-
markedly plain spoken defense OF the
Payne bill. He has been met with many
queries since the beginning OF his trip
as TO when he Intended taking up the
subject OF the tariff.
