TAFT PLEADS FOR PARTY UNITY
Speaks Before Washington Republic
can Clubs and Says He Would
Read no One Out of Party.

Washington, Apr. 11.-William
Howard Taft spoke Saturday night be-
fore the League of Republican Clubs
of the District of Columbia, not so
much as president of the United
States, as in his capacity as titular
leader of the republican party.
Mr.. Taft said he was glad the
republican party still lives" that he
did not want to read any man out OF
the party, but that "by their deeds
they should be known.
Tonight" he said, 1--WE are reading
nobody out of the party; we want
them all in the ranks and they have
the opportunity to establish their
claim to republicanism by that which
they shall do in both houses of con-
gress by helping to enact the legis-
lation which is now before Them"
This utterance was greeted with
prolonged cheers. The 500 guests from
all parts of the United States stood up
and cheered. The president was in a
mood to talk turkey" but he said
he had not come to them to make a
keynote speech"
With all due Difference to the dis
tinguished members of the senate and
the house who surround me-" the pres
ident continued, Il want to say that
I think this is not exactly the time
for speaking except in the two hous-
es of the legislature. This is the time
for doing things"
