PRESIDENT TAFT, IN ADDRESS
TO OHloANS, EXPLAINS THE
POWER or EAST CONCERN.
ING LEGISLATION.

Washington, March 31.~-President
Taft, in an address before the Ohio
Society Of Washington, tonight point
ed out that the dominating power Of
the eastern states In congress lies In
the fact that they keep men in office
when they place them there. His
words created a mild sensation. He
contrasted the influence of the east
in legislative affairs with the west
and attributed the supremacy Of the
former to the continuous service as
legislative representatives. He said:
When the eastern states get a
good representative they keep him as
long as he lives, and then he has an
influence that vastly exceeds the
mere numerical representation of the
population"
The president was the guest OF
honor at the meeting called for the
purpose of organizing the Ohio So
ciety Of Washington. Justice William
r. Day was elected president.
There is only one thing | want
to say about Oha, and that is that IT
has a political tlnge,' said Taft, Il
think the mistake made In recent
years in Ohio Is failing to continue
as our representatives the asame peo-
pie, term after term. Length Of SER
vice is what gives influence.
