a conspicuous position. 1t is stiM several

curate as well as profound that it is a
matter of extreme difficulty to get a game

Realizing this the management of the

players in the shape of prize of 81
to the first one that wins from the cham
pion. and another prize of 81 for the first
draw.
The club extends a welcome to all per-

TAFHS
KEYNOTE SPEECH
His First Political Address ID Con-
gressionaI Campaign.
He DEFINES A PROGRESSIVE"
Gave All Factions Credit for Recent
Legislation and compllmeHted
ForWer President
Roosevelt.

New York, Oct. 3.--President TAFT
made public his definition Of PRO
grassiye Republicanlsm" and gave
definite notice Of his friendly feeling
toward that wing OF the party.
The occasion was his first political
address Of the congressional cam
paign, q keynote" speech delivered
before the banquet OF the National
League Of Republican clubs. A PRO
gressive Republican" according to the
views Of the president, is zone who
recognizes existing and concrete evils
and who is in favor Of practical and
definite steps to eradicate them"
Three times during the speech he
referred in complimentary terms to
ex-President Roosevelt, first thanking
MIN as the executive whose admins
tration marked a rising tide Of prog
ress for the party; again, as being
chilly instrumental In organizing a
crusade against political corruption;
and finally, without mention Of his
name, as "heartening the cause OF
Republicanism by brave declaration
of principle" in the convention at
Saratoga.
No One Was Read out.
There was no reading out" Of lin
surgents" In the presidents speech;
no repetition Of his Winona utterance.
Instead, the president sought to leave
the impression that the work in con-
gress had been achieved by united
party. After enumerating the legisla'
ton enacted, he declared;
1.-THE extraordinary achievements OF
this congress may fairly be said to be
part Of a great Republican movement.
As all shared in the work, SO we all
must share in the satisfaction Of ac-
complishment. 1t marks the rising
tide of progress that began at the end
Of a Democratic panic when William
Mckinley was our leader and that
continued throughout the two admin
istrations Of Theodore Roosevelt. 1t
is peculiarly Republican distinction
that our party has been able to place
on the statute books far-reaching rem
edial legislation touching the very
vltals Of our social and economic
structure without involving the coun-
try in financial disaster. ,el-,i n
"A party Of true progress Is not a
party Of redicalism. 1t is not a party
Of a-conservatism."
