TAFT LOOKS AHEAD
In Chicago Speech Suggests
Possibility of Defeat.
TIRED. HIS HEARERS THINK
President Wearied by Long Speech
Making Campaign.
PARTY CAN BEAR REVERSE
Believes People Would Soon Discover
Mistake and Restore Re-
publicans to Power.

CHICAGO, October 31.-President Taft
surprised a large audience at the dinner
Of the Hamilton Club yesterday by wha,
most Of his hearers construed as an ad-
mission OF the possibility of republican
defeat in the coming national election
He was speaking TO what had prom
ised To be an unusually enthusiastic au-
dience of republicans
Those present FASTENED to ascribe the
Presidents utterances to WEAKNESS
after his long tour of speechmaking, and
especially after the three days hard
campaign in Chicago. 1t was his last
public utterance in Chicago before leav-
ing for Pittsburgh last night.
Party at a Crisis.
"Now VIC are at-some people think
the crisis in the republican party with
reference to it's continuance in the guild
ance OF the nation the President said.
II am hopeful that the good people OF
the country. who know good thing
when they see il, have only chastened
US in an off-year. In order that we may
he better hereafter. but with no inten-
ton of shifting from shoulders that are
fitted to bear the burdens OF the pres
ent problems and carry them to a sue
cessful solution to those which are un-
tried and which have new theories OF
action that we do not believe in, and
We don't believe the people believe in.
However. If SO be it that they desire
to make change we shall Loyalty sup
port the new government under any con-
ditions. with the hope it will inure to
the benefit Of the country. but with the
consolation that. if after one trial the
people think they ought to go back to the
cd party that has served them SO we'll
in the progressive days of the nation,
they will do so-we can bear that, my
friends: that is all
Tired by Chicago Visit.
After his address the President retired
to his hotel for rest. Though he pro-
fcssed no WEAKNESS the three days
steady strain had told on him, and 1t was
a tired man who led the presidential
party out Of Chicago at $50 pm. over
the Pennsylvania railroad for Pittsburgh
The address before the Hamilton Club,
in which the possibility of defeat found
expression. followed the laying of the
corner stone of the new home of the
Hamilton Club. one of the leading re-
publican clubs of the middle west. A
urging crowd in the street strove so
rnergetically for glimpse of the Presi-
dent that he was unable to speak for
more than few minutes preceding the
actual laying of the stone.
The corner stone ceremony followed a
trip through the stock yards and a visit
to the national dairy show at the Dexter
pavilion. The remainder of the Presi-
dents day was spent at his hotel in re-
cefvfng politicians and friends.
The President had a short conference
with Louis de la Barra, brother of the
President OF Mexico. who brought greet
ings and expressions of goodwill from
the executive OF the southern republic.

pressed the hope that the restoration of
the monarchy was at hand. 1.-The mon

spect public liberties. 1t is indssolubly

is the present parliamentarism, which
constitutes an odious tyranny. But 1t

basis the representation of rights and m

and the right of association. 1t will also
put an end to the struggle between en-
ployers and employed, who ought to walk
hand in hand"
