m%iniscences Of reconstruction and his
fight with McLaurin.
The senator says he feels quite
we'll enough to go out on another

the race question.
Mrs. Tillman says that Senator
Tillman is not to go on any lecture
tours, but she Is quite willing for
him to go to Europe. again.
Senator Tillman continues to be

SENATOR ALpRIOH SPEAKS.

Senator Aldrich began Saturday as
chairman OF the monetary commission
of Congress, his campaign 10 "educste"
the public as to the country's needs in
the coming financial legislation. In q
careful speech, RETAINING from promul.
CATION OF any outspoken, de6oite plan,
the senator reviewed the work Of the
commission, and asked for criticism and
suggestions from the business men of
the country. He spoke before the Com
mercisl Club In Chicago. Mr.. Aldrich,
while recommending nothing, announ-
ced his conversion to the belief that the
cOuntry's greatest need is reorganized
credit system. This, he said, is more
i'm portant than the question of bsnknote
Issues. His speech also confirmed the
report that he fsvors 8 central bank Of
issue, under government control or ere
strictions.
To those OF his hearers who expected
Senator Aldrich to use the occasion for
the PRONUNCIATION of the central bank
project, or any other plan or theory Of
national 6Dspce, his speech must have
been in the nature of surprise. He
declared nj the outset "that the question
of definite plan for reforming existing
conditions has not yet been taken up BY
the commission and added that no
plan would be adopted until after the
most careful and exhaustive study Of all
the conditions that surround the prob
lsm." Mr.. Aldrich's purpose 10 max
ing this campaign was strongly Com
mended by President Taft In bis speech
at Boston before beginning his long
journey.
