The Taft Philippine party voyaged
again in the realm of goodfellowship and
the far east via the New Willard Hotel
last, night, where the members of the
party gathered about the board for their
fourth annual voyage with President
Taft as the guest of honor.
The banquet. though given in a setting
that was little short of magnificent, was
an informal affair. Politics were left
outside and there were no set speeches
President Taft made a speech. but there
were no reporters to hear what he said
and the guests were silent as to his re-
marks, except to say that he proved
himself the same genial leader that he
vas on the memorable voyage into the
east. and that he paid tribute TO the late
Representative De Almond. who was one
of the party. There were few other
short speeches from members of the par
ty. but there was no attempt at a regular
program, and when the bapqueters left
the hotel about II o'clock. after tying
still more firmly the bond of the east
which holds the party together. they
pledged themselves to a fifth reunion
the coming year.

gether almost all of the members of the
