President Taft completed here. to-
night, a round of speaking engage
ments, three in number. in which he
touched on peace, politics and Pur-
itanism. His political speech. which
was scheduled to be the chief address
of the evening. was made before the
Young Mems Republican Club of
Brooklyn, where he told his audience
that although there came times when
the old party seems a little weak and
staggers from blows received from the
inside and out. its principles are
strong enough, when the issue is
drawn, TO carry on the government.
The Presidents peace speech was
made before the Economic Club, where
he reiterated his well-known argu-
ments in support of the pending arbi-
tration treaties. From there he was
whirled to a dinner of the New Eng
land Society of Brooklyn. before whom
he spoke in a humorous vein on his
Puritan ancestry.
Until he reached Brooklyn, the
President of the United States had no
municipal police protection, with the
exception OF two bicycle policemen.

ty until it had left the residence OF
Henry w. Taft. the Presidents broth
err where he is stopping during his
two-d days visit in New York. The
Presidents customary escort in this
city is 10 policemen. There was not
even a detail of police at the Hotel
Aston, where the Economic Club din
ers held forth, but this was remedied
when the President arrived at the two
Brooklyn dinners, some enc having as
signed a considerable squad 70 duty
there.
Special interest attached to the
Presidents speech before the Young
Republican Club, owing to the organ
| ization's recent reputation of the
New York state leadership of William
Barns, Jr., but no reference was made
by the President to the situation. AS
a matter of fact ii was said that one
of the conditions of the President
appearance before the Club was that
| it should not be interpreted as in any
way bearing upon the question one
way or the other.
| The President made his reference to
the party's Seeming a little weak,
at the outset of his remarks which
were not long.

responsibilities thrust upon it. The
American people are not going to re-

untried and divergent in its views as
those trying to wrest power from it,
The President referred to the policy
| of protection which, he said, should
not be eXorbitant or unreasonable, but
| enough to enable our industries t.
compete with the industries of Other
countries and enough to measure the
difference between wages paid abroad

Proper Police Escort.
Three Speeches by President Taft
In Greater New York.

New York, Dec. l9.-The President
OF the United States travelled through
New York's streets, tonight, without
a police escort such as has been Gus
tomarily assigned for his protection
during his visits here Just what
caused the omission of the usual pro-
visions To safeguard the nations head
had not been officially developed up
to 4 late hour, tonight. The fact re
mains. however, that when President
Taft arrived, at Gas o'clock tonight,
at the Pennsylvania terminal on a
two-days visit to this city, not a blue
coated employee of the city was in
sight. The Presidential party was
forced to make its progress to the
street and an awaiting automobile,
separated from the crowd only by 10
colored rorters, whom the station
master had hastily pressed into ser
vice.
Unescorted the President went to
the homo of his brother, Henry w.
Taft, on West 18th street 1t was there
that the first sight of a police officer.
detailed for duty with the party. was
had. The detachment was made up OF
two bicycle policemen. On his former
visits 10 policemen on wheels have
been assigned to travel with him ard
10 patrolmen to control tho crowd
which frequently gathered at the rail-
way station on his arrival. The two
bicycle policemen waited outside until
the President appeared some time lat
er to go to the Economic Club dinner
at the Hotel Aston, where he was to
deliver an address, and they accom-
panied him there. The same sized
force formed his escort when he left
the Aston and crossed the river to
Brooklyn to attend the New England
Society dinner at the Academy of
Music and the Brooklyn Young Re-
publican Club dinner.
l.. C. Wheeler, a member of the Sc
cret Service force, made the usual re-
quest, this morning, for an escort for
the President and il had been under
stood that the customary would be
furnished. 1t was stated. tonight. how
ever, that Police Commissioner Waldo,
when asked for the escort. had replied
that in his opinion no greater escort
was needed for the protection of the
President here. than Tor the mayor of
the city when he travels about and
that no greater one would be furnish
ed on this occasion. He considered the
President no better than the mayor,
the commissioner was reported as
having declared
Police Commissioner Waldo, late to-
night, said;
President Taft got the usual po-
lice protection. There We're two mo-
toreycle policemen assigned to be with
him, and a number of plain clothes
men and detectives were assigned to
be in the station TO meet him. The
plain clothes men probably were not
readily recognized and that may ae-
count for the impression that the
President had not been given ample
protection"
