dier.president Taft was criticised a
year ago because OF certain OF bis ref
erences to General Grant and he took
advantage OF the opportunity to ex.
press anew his admiration for General
Grant as a man, as a soldier and as
chief executive Of the United States
The president said. In part
1T Is not for me, in the presence OF
a gentleman who knew General Grant
who served with him, who ran the risk
OF life and death with him TO descant
upon his life, his peculiar virtues. or
at length attempt TO picture his char
acter TO this company. But there are
certain things with respect to him
that come back with reference to our
passing life.
"They said that Grant had not the
military genius that other generals dis.
played IN the war. TO my mind hts
mind and brain represented the very
genius of the war TO suppress the re-
bellion because II was his mind that
grasped the thought that until we had
fought it out with our brave opponents
and met them IN the field and fought
them as soldiers, until we convinced
them by our strength that the battle
was hopeless. we could not expect to
have a united country"
