RECOGNIZES INSURGENTS
PART IN PARTY RECORD
Taft Defends Administration in Only
Speech of Campaign-Praises
Roosevelt.

New York Oct. 3.--President Taft de-
livered what will probably be his only
public address Of the present campaign
at the banquet of the National Repub
lcan league, which was held at the hotel
Astor Saturday night
The presidents speech was marked by
an unusually conciliqtory tone toward
the insurgent wing of the party lie
gave "all factions of the party due
credit for their share in helping to put
through Congress the legislative pro-
gram, Upon the whole Republican par
ty, the president bestowed the title Of
progressive"
Twice President Taft mentioned and
praised Colonel Roosevelt in connection
with the campaign against corporate
abuses, and a third time by inference,
when he referred to the New York stu
alton.
The president announced he had di-
rected the tariff commission to make no
report Of the work it has accomplished
up to this time until after the election.
He took this step, he declared, to lift
the commission out of politics entirely.
The president declared for sweeping
extension of the civil service, taking a
stand in favor Of putting all postmas-
tiers, collectors OF customs and internal
revenues, surveyors Of customs and APP
praisers on the permanent rolls of the
government, thus leaving but little Of
the patronage Of old.
Besides the president, Representative
Nicholas Longworth Of Ohio was one
of the chief speakers Of the evening. His
address was mainly defense Of the
Payne tariff law, and he also praised
Col Roosevelt.
