former Senator John NJ Thurston Of Ne
oraska have with the so-called McMurray
eonti acts was descibed by j. r. McMurray
before the congressional committee investi-
eating Indian land deals today Mr.. McMur-
ray declared Mr. Long and Mr.. Thurston
both had been employed as counsel. In
endeavoring to secure approval of the con-
tracts the witness said, MIR. Long had
called on President Taft, and Mr.. Tnurston
had called on Attorney General Wicker

Asked to explain what the former sena-
tors were employed by him to do. McMur-
ray said they were to advise him on legal
matters
You don't call visiting the president and
visiting the attorney general advising you
on legal matters do you?" asked Represen-
tative e. w. Saunders.
McMurray declared the visits were made
In relation to legal phases. II previously
had been shown that President Taft at
such visits had expressed disapproval of the
10 per cent fee on the ground that it was
too high. The witness denied the former
senator's had been employed to lobby.
McMurray was compelled to be in Wash

Murray law firm in connection with the

TAFT ABLE AND SACACIOUS
John Hays Hammond Defends Presi'
dents Acts and Methods.
ONLY WAY TO SECURE RESULTS
Plunging Party Into Civil War would
Have Made 1T Impossible to
Redeem Any Platform
Pledges.

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
Hayes Hammond made a vigorous defense
of the administration at the annual out
ing of the Cuyahoga County League of
Republican clubs.
Mr.. Hammond justified Mr.. Taft's sup
port of the Aldrich-Cannon section of the
party on the ground that If he had
plunged into a republican civil war his
four years term of office would have been
barren of results and not one of his cam
paign pledges could have been carried
out. .
Mr.. Hammond said in part;
''The people have come to regard Presi-
dent Taft as a man of indomitable cour-
age and inflexible determination.
"In the early part of his administration
II used to be frequently asserted that
President Taft did not understand the
political game. 1t is quite true that he
does not play good politics according to
the concepts OF hothouse politicians, in
that he does not subordinate questions Of
national Importance to those of party ex-
pediency or even to those of self ag-
grandisement, but recent events must
have impressed Il on the minds Of all
critics that the president has a master
full grasp of political affairs and of polit-
ical methods. II has also 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 hav-
Ing any intercourse with that faction of
the party. but fortunately the president
has wisely preferred not to assume self
righteous attitude and not to decline the
cooperation OF republicans of whatever
faction when such assistance would avail
TO insure the enactment of needed legis-
lation.
''It required admirable moral courage
and far-sighted craftsmanship for Presi-
dent Taft to pursue the course he did
. purs 81 Any other course would have
resulted in four years Of futile republican
administration"
Mr.. Hammond asserted that all tall
of a new party was absurd. as such 8
movement would die at its birth for lack
of popular support, He declared that
there was no possibility OF any man save
I Mr.. Taft receiving the next republican
! nomination for president and secuted the
| idea OF the democrats obtaining contro
OF congress on account OF what he termed
their absolute failure to ofer the people
any definite program
