shington.-William Howard Taft
spoke Saturday night before the League
of Republican Clubs of the District of
Columbia, not so much as president of
the United States as in his capacity as
titular leader of the republican party.
Mr.. Taft said he was "glad the re-
publican party still lives''; that he did
not want to read any man out of the
party, but that "by their deeds they
should be known
tTonight,' he said, "we are read
ing nobody out of the party. We want
all of them in the ranks and they have
to republicanism by that which they
shall do in the congress by helping to
enact the legislation which is now be-
fore them.
Not Keynote Speech
The 500 guests from all parts of the
United States stood up and cheered-
The president was in mood to "talk
turkey" but he said he had not come
to them to make "keynote speech. -
"With all due Difference to the dis
tinguished members of the senate and
the house who surround me, the presl-
dent continued, 81 want to say that i
think this is not exactly the time for
speaking except in the two houses of
the Legislature. This is the time for
doing things" >
Here the president, who spoke with
more emphasis than usually character
ICES his after-dinner speeches, was
again interrupted by a roar of cheers
and shouts.
"Greati" "Bully for youi'' "Now
you re talkingi' THAT s what we
want to heari' were among the com
ments shouted from the floor of the
banquet hall.
"The time has come, - said President
Taft, "for doing and voting and pass
ing the measures that have been placed
before this congress. IL is the time for
doing things, and after congress has
adjourned the republican party will
have formed its lines Of attack. Then
will il be furnished with the weapons
with which we are going into the next
contest.
