TAET'S ADVICE
TO REPUBLICANS
At Yale Commencement Says
Party Must Live Up to
Pledges.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July L.
President Taft paused in the course
of an afterdinner speech to 1900
graduates of Yale, gathered at the
annual alumni dinner last evening,
to issue a serious note of warning to
congress and to the leaders Of the re-
publican party. The president de-
clares that If the party failed to live
up to its promises and to the expec-
tations of the people 1t would be rel
egated to the position of a minority
opposition.
The president spoke extemporan-
eously and his utterances as to the
republican party seemed the result
of a sudden impulse rather than of
studied preparation.
Utterance is Appreciated.
Mr.. Taft made no effort to explain
his warming. The Yale men caught
his meaning and the significance of
the remarks coming while the tariff
debate is in progress and they stood
and cheered for several minutes. Mr..
Taft had been speaking Of Secretary
Of War Dickinson, a democrat, upon
whom Yale conferred an honorary de-
1900 TXy{%b 4ha hest ~ OoOd huunnP
he referred to the democracy and to
its present condition and this led him
into the declaration as to his own pars
ty.
You went south of the Mason and
Dixon line" he said, ito get the sec
rotary of war to give a degree to; 1t
is we'll that you did, because he is go
ing to build the Panama canal and
other universities follow where you
got in early.
"One of the difficulties that has
confronted Brother Dickinson out in
Chicago, where he has temporary
residence, was a discussion as to
what constituted an orthodox demo-
erat and whether he really ought to
be counted as a democrat If he al
lowed himself to go into a republican
cabinet. Well, when you come to dis
euss what Is democrat these days
you are presented with very much the
same difficulty that have before me
now in giving certain rules for the
constructions of the pure food law as
to what whisky is. They say there
is straight whisky. and then there
Is 'rectiied' whisky. and then there
is imitation whisky. Now, speak
with good deal of hesitancy in say
ing whether by friend Dickinson is a
straight democrat or a 'rectified'
democrat. / would not dare to say
In his presence that he was an 'imita-
ton democrat.
Differences Among Republicans
In suggesting differences among
democrats l am far from ignoring
differences on our side. remember
U 1904 that Charles Francis Adams
gave what may call a perfectly good
Adams reason for the election Of the
democratic candidate over the repub-
hean candidate. He said that one Of
The essentials of free government was
an able, patriotic and efficient oppOsi-
uon, and that as the democratic party
had utterly failed in reaching that
neal he was in favor OF putting the
republican party in that place
Now. ! venture to say that while
mat may not be the reason that shall
move the American people. it Is true
saat II the republican party does not
iise up to its promises and what the
peOple expect OF II. 1t viii be relegat-
y 70 position like that Of his ma
'esys opposition. And, therefore.
nay say by way Of eaveat that We
nave troubles Of our own"
