hurricane order into which he had
crowded three speeches. a rapid trip
through three cities, the laying of a
cornerstone. three receptions and d
iiye-hour banquet
One of the features Of the visit
here was the banquet at the Fair
mont hotel Governor Gillett. who
made one of the leading addresses of
the evening. made a strong appeal for
a greater navy and particularly urged
the maintenance on the Pacific coast
of a fleet of At least sixteen battle
ships. He said:
"Mr President. above all we want
navy for the Pacific ocean and we
are Conceited enough to believe that
we can build it better and cheaper
than you on the Atlantic The battle
for trade is in the Pacific. We have
no island possessions across the Allan
tic and the navy is drifting idly on
the bosom of those waters We need
the navy I'm the Pacific for the protec-
ton Of our possessions and our COM
mercc and for peaCc-not for war"
In Of IC M
President said:
''Now Governor Gillett wants 16 or
is battleShips on this side of the wa

the ships But You forget that the
Panama canal VIII be completed in
four or Ave years. and that it Will
double the efficiency of the navy. and
VIII cut in two the distance by water
from the eastern to the western
coast
The President then turned his at

dorsement which brought enthuSlas,

one Of the most agreeable features of
his entertainment here. The Presl-
dent was made an honorary member
of the club and, in his speech OF ac.
ceptance, he completely Won the
hearts of the newspaper men present
by the kindly humorous thrustS he
delivered at the expense of the mem
bers At the end Of the affair the TAFT
chuckle was voted as great d success
as the more famous Taft smile.
