TAFT In TRIUMPH
AT SESSIONS END
lcontlnued from Flrst ragel


dard agreeing that the railroad bill is OF
first Importance in legislation now written
on the statute books. there is a CORES
bonding endorsement Of that view from
Representative NJ. Z. Olmstead Of Penn
sylvania. who in the event that the republl-
cans control the next house. will be one OF
the leading candidates for the speakership.
The greatest triumph OF the administra-
ton in the session Of congress Just closed, 3"
said Mr.. Olmstead. lis found In the passage
Of the railroad bill 1t is drastic in its
provisions and puts more power in the
Interstate Commerce commission than was
ever contemplated by the trainers OF that
commission. The commerce court. the
tariff board and the postal savings bank
enactments are exceedingly important
measures put through at the instance of
President Taft l think that President
Tafts administration is unique in its record
Of achievement He has accomplished more
in sixteen months OF his term than any
president we have ever had in the same
period OF time and my judgment is that
IL will not take long for the American
people to wake up to the fact that we
have in the White House a president who
does things, not dreams them all day long
Dawson Says las Good.
| Albert Dawson OF Iowa. who quits con-
gressional life with the close Of the present
congress, was even more enthusiastic thar
Olmstead in characterizing the accomplish
ments of the president toward the enact
ment Of legislation tending to the rcdemp
| ton of party pledges. He regarded tbs
session as marking an epoch In the legis
lative life of the nation, and believed, will
others. that the railroad bill and posta
savings bank bill are two OF the most i'm
portant pieces of legislation enacted within
a quarter of a century.
Mr. Dawson has planned most uniqu'
for himself and family, doing an automobile
stunt" from Washington to his home IL
eastern Iowa, some $500 miles in all ant
acting as his own driver. He plans t
leave here with his wife and children earl.
next week, going by way Of Gettysburg
and Philadelphia to Atlantic City. Theme
on to New York City and from there t
Boston, New England and the Berkshire
and back by way of Detroit to his homo
the trip to cover about a month of rea
outdoor life.
