HAMMOND DEFENDS
TAFT AVID POLICIES
Believes President One of the
Best Executives Nation
Ever Had.
BY Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug, 20-With the
statement that President Taft was one
of the ablest and most sagacious of the
executives Of the United States, John
Hays Hammond made vigorous de.
fense of the administration today at
the annual outing of the Cuyahoga
County League of Republican Clubs.
Mr.. Hammond justified Mr.. Taft's sup
port for the -Aldrich- Cannon section OF
the party on the ground that II he had
plunged into a Republican civil war his
fouc years term of office would have
been barren of results and not one OF his
campaign pledges could have been carried
out. Mr.. Hammond said in part:
"The people have come TO regard
President Taft as a man of indomitable
courage and inleXIble determination. In
the early part of his administration IL
used To be frequently asserted that Presi-
dent Taft did not understand the politi-
cal game. 1t is quite true that he does
not play good politics. according to the
concept Of hothouse politicians. in that
he does not subordinate questions of ma
iional Importance 10 those of party eX-
pediency or even to those OF self aggran-
pressed II on the minds OF all critics that
the president has masterful grasp OF
political affairs and of political methods.
"It also has been asserted by critics OF
the administration that the president was
being unduly influenced and imposed upon
by what was alleged TO be the unholy
Cannon Aldrich alliance.
"He has been criticised severely for
having any intercourse with that faction
OF the party; but fortunately the presi-
dent has wisely preferred not 10 assume
a Nself righteous attitude and not to de-
cline the cooperation OF Republicans OF
whatever faction when such assistance
would avail TO insure the enactment OF
needed legislation.
ut required admirable moral courage
and far sighted craftsmanship for Presl-
dent Taft to pursue the course he did
pursue. Any other course would have re-
suited in four years Of futile Republican
administration
Mr. Hammond asserted that all talk OF
a new party was absurd as such a move
ment would die at Its birth for lack OF
popular support. He declared that there
was no possibility of any man save Mr.
Taft receiving the next Republican nomi-
nation for president, and secuted the Idea
of the Democrats obtaining control OF
congress on account OF what he termed
their absolute failure to offer the people
nnY definite program.

HITCHCOCK IS ALSO

WASHINGTON, Aug; 20.-Postmas-
ter General Frank II. Hitchcock is con-
vinced that the postoilices in the prin-

Be it understood, however, that 1T

Hitchcock's trip. On similar, trip to
the coast few months ago, he took
occasion in speech in the far north
west, to pay earnest tribute to his col
league in the cabinet, Richard A. Bal
hnger, and the gossip recently current
that one Of the objects now is to sup
plement the efforts of Senator Crane
to induce Secretary Ballinger to resign
is really unfounded. Hitchcock is a
steadfast supporter of Ballinger. He
doubtless sees, as everybody else sees,

lar luncture, but II is understood here
in Washington that he does not share
this view that it would materially af-
feet the November election.
In Peculiar Position.
Hitchcock s status as the real ncau
of the party organization, by reason
of his craftsmanship of the national
committee, is somewhat peculiar.
He has not been in accord with all
the state regulars nor persona non
grata with the insurgents He has
alienated many congressman by his
handling of the patronage. Some
statesmen very close to the White
house have more than once expressed
their opinion of Hitchcock to the pres
ident in unqualified terms and sug-
gested his dismissal for the good of the
party. But such disgruntled element
is incident to every new admlnistra-
ton. Hitchcock is a regular, of course,
and in his role of chairman must see
to it that the organization is strength
ened wherever possible. The manage
ment of the congressional campaign de-
wolves on the congressional committee,
headed by Chairman Mckinley, whose
chief lieutenant is Representative
LoudenslaCer, and the national commit
tee will not take any hand in purely
district troubles,
But Mr.. Hitchcock will endeavor to
promote party interests in the various
states and make sure that the admin
istratlon receives no uncertain indorsc
ment in conventions
The Ohio action, although not pro-
gressive enough to please ex-President
Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield, com
mended itself strongly to administra-
tlon men. or regulars.
