 So soon as the rush to sell was over, however, there was a brisk re- covery and at the end of the first Is minutes the list was showing signs of strength.
 Il a. m.-The selling which was caused by disappointment over Taft's speech exhausted itself quickly ard in the last half of the first hour prices held firm despite early losses. London was a very heavy buyer.

 Representative Tawney of Mime sota, in whose defense the President made a speech at Winona. defending the Payne tariff. was enthusiastic in his commendation of the tariff and antitrust features of the speech.
 Opinion generally is that the speech was one of the most forceful the President has ever delivered. There is some speculation today as to whom the Democrats will select for making reply. It is taken for granted. of course. that Bryan will have few words to say through the medium of his Commoner and that Norman Mack, chairman of the Democratic National committee, will attack the speech in his new magazine.
 As the Taft keynote will be sent out in the Congressional Record. the mi- nority leaders feel that it should be answered to by one or more of their number in Congress. It is liely that both minority leaders-Clark. in the House. and Money in the Senate-will later take occasion to present the Democratic viewpoints on the subjects discussed by the President.

Truth of Lincoln, Says Rev. E. J. Craft, Guarantees Against It.

Rev. E. J. Craft, rector of Christ Church, made an address, yesterday, in the church, upon Lincoln, which was heard by large and interested audience.

 "He is strongly in the lead in the Lake Group" says the paper, where he has 4S6 votes to Tafts S 427. He leads in the prairie States by 615 to 475 and on the Pacific coast by 164 to 9O In the only group where Taft leads, the Presidents margin is mar row. it being 66 to 64 in the mountain States.
 '"The vote in Ohio is of interest. There Taft has 123 votes which is on y 19 more than Roosevelt. Of the lake group. Illinois is most strongly for Roosevelt the vote being Roosevelt 158 and Taft 100."
 Regarding the ballots cast for Bryan, the Tribune says: Most of the 40 who voted for Bryan say that they do so because they don't approve of the pres ent policies of the Republican party, although they voted for Taft at the last Presidential election. The Pin chot vote. which appears in all but six of the States. is generally coupled with doubt of the administration forestry policy and disapproval of it's attitude l toward Ballinger."
