PURSUED SAFE COURSE
Declares Chief Executive Has Not
Been Unduly Influenced by Cannon
AIdrich Alliance, But Merely Sought
Co-operation-Party viii Name Him


CLEVELAND. OHIO. Aug. 90
With the statement that President
Taft was one of the ablest and most
sagacious of the executives of the
United States. John Hayes Hammond
made a vigorous defense of the ad-
ministration today at the annual out
ing of the CuyahOga County League
OF Republican Clubs.
Mr.. Hammond justified Mr.. Taft :
support of the Aldrich-CannOn sec
ton of the party on the ground that
if he had plunged into a Republican
civil war his four years term OF Of
fee would have been barren of re-
suits and not one Of his campaign
pledges could have been carried out
Mr.. Hammond said in part:
Has Grasp Of Affairs
The people have come to regard
President Taft as a man of indOmita-
bic courage and infiexible determine
ton. In the early part of his admin
istratiOn it used TO be frequently as
serted that President Taft did not IN
Gerstand the political game. II Is
quite true that he does not play good
rolitics.' according to the concepts of
hot house politicians. in that he does
rot subordinate questions OF national
importance to those OF party exped-
iency. OF even TO those Of self-ag-
grandizement. but recent events must
rave impressed Il on the minds of
all critics that the President has a
masterful grasp Of political affairs
and Of political methods.

critics of the administration that the
President was being unduly infiuenc-
&c and imposed upon by what was
alleged TO be the unholy Cannon-Ald-
rich alliance.

President has wisely preferred no,

1T required admirable moral

for President Taft TO pursue tho
course he did pursue. Any other

years Of futile Republican admins

No New Party.
Mr.. Hammond asserted that al
