Senator Bradley's Advice.

Senator Lodge had referred, in his con-
Guiding remarks, to some discomfort
within the party ranks. and Toastmaster
Snyder introduced Senator Bradley OF
Kentucky to tell how to clarity the situa-
ton.
The way to clarity the situation is
to stand by the President" he began;
and the sentiment won unanimous and
instantaneous appreciation. What
would have been the fate at Waterloo
if Wellington's army had not stood by
him? The secret Of republican success
in the past is that the people Of the re-
publican party have stood by their
leader and upheld his hands"
After referring to republican success
in Kentucky, Senator Bradley turned to
Mr.. Taft.
1.-THE republican party Of Kentucky
stands by you and your administration
said; and again five hundred voices ex-
pressed approval. Administrations are
not to be judged by q few months, but
by the full term. There have been some
Observation-Disclosures, but by the time your
administration is over the people will rise
up and with one acclaim say. w ell done,
good and faithful servant"
Mr.. Longworth Facetious.
Representative Longworth was present.
ed next, and in answer to the toastmas-
ter's Introduction he remarked that he
had hoped at the beginning Of the present
administration in the White House that
he would no longer be introduced as a
son-inslaw.
altogether a bed Of roses" he declared
amid general laughter. Every time you
say anything good, which you seldom
do. everybody says your father-in-law
told you to say It. And every time you
say anything silly. which you often do.

Defense Of Taft Policies.
Representative Nicholas Longworth
made a straight defense Of the Taft pol
icies and the Payne tariff. In praise of
the republican party he said:
1.-The time will be soon at hand when
we shall enter upon q campaign Of vast
Importance. It may involve not only the
success or failure Of the administration
Of President Taft, but it may involve the
integrity Of the republican party. I dc
not believe with some Of my party col
leagues, that the storm is so fierce that
we should fly signals of distress, but do
believe that 1t is no time to merely try
to laugh away. the seriousness of the sit
uation.
1--WE have been through a tariff fight,
which always-and acknowledgements dis

any party upon which the responsibility

ing legislation which causes wide differ

ranks Of the party clothed with the re-
sponsibility for that legislation. Upon
the success or failure of that legislation
at this session Of Congress will rest
largely the question Of the success or
failure of this administration. for the
record upon which we must go before the
people in this campaign Is not yet wholly
made up"
Organisation was the subject upon
which Representative Moore Of Pennsyl-
vania spoke.
Continued Success Predicted.
Representative Moore told the diners
that the G. O. p. was in for a hard
fight in the next few months. but pre-
dicted It's continued success. After ont

declared that the party seems to have
reached a point where, like the success
ful business man. it has provoked the
envy of its rivals and the treachery Of
many who have fed out Of its hands.
.sThe great test Of the party strength
will come in the November elections, %
he continued. ut will then be deter
mined whether the republican Caesar Is
to fall at the base OF Pompey's statue"
Referring to the signs Of pending on

where the threatened destruction would
come from.
