of the enjoyable occasions which this
famous party indulge in every year.
There were present seven United States
senators, "a members of the house, be-

Orient with Mr.. Taft in 1905. The trip
attained most of its fame because of
matrimonial accomplishments resulting.

veritable tropical jungle. The presi-
dent-elect was in a particularly happy
mood as he recalled the various
places of visits and the lasting mem

party might be to the incoming ad-
ministration what the rough rider
organization had been to the last
He said:
'fNow 1 am sure every one of us
has had occasion to rejoice often that

The party has broken down party
lines, but it has not broken down. 1
am glad to say, domestic lines. But
when there is Philippine legislation
on if YOU will examine the votes in
the senate and house you can trace
the influence of the Philippine party.
Tonight I feel overcome by the
good will, the generosity and by the
welcome that you have given Mrs.
Taft and me. I have a sense of be-

This party might bear the same
