BRISTOW IS
 AFTER TAFT
SAYS HE WILL JOIN IN WELCOME TO PRESIDENT AND WILL
 FIGHT LATER
Makes Hot Reioinder to Secretary Fishers Remarks About the "Hypoeritica, Demaeogc,
 Proeressives.

tor Joseph L.. Brstow this afternoon practically served notice that while he was participating freely and glad | ly in the welcome to President Taft in Kansas, there was to be no let up in the factional fight as soon as he left the borders of the common wealth.
 l The senator's declaration came near the close of what had been a non partisan celebration of tine fif- tieth anniversary of the birth of Kansas as state and was the d- rect result of a three minute speech lby Walter l.. Fisher. secretary of the interior. Both speakers were cheered by the ihrong that packed the grand stand at the state fair grounds.
 Secretary Fisher, just back from Alaska. said things about the differ ences between real progressives of the middle of the road type life MT. Taft and "hypocritical, demagogic progressives who opposed every prac- tical progressive policy put form. !"
 Senator Bristow. ranking second only to Senator La Toilette of Wis consin among the progressives of the senate. followed Secretary Fisher and quickly caught mp his challenge
 We in Kansas" he said, "are al- ways willing to grant that the other fellow Is honest in his views. and we expect him to grant that We are honest Tn ours. I want to say to President Taft and to Secretary Fisher right now. that in working out the problems that that confront us, we or Kansas will have our part and our say to the end that there shall be equal justice to all and special priv l lilege to none"
 The president himself had made no reference to politics. His ad- dress was purely historical and in it Ihe had taken occasion to pay tribute to the independence in thought and Iaction of the Kansas people, saying that no matter how much one might differ with their views. there could be nothing but admiration for their courage in carrying those views for ward to logical conclusion.
 Mir. Taft had been introduced by Governor Stubbs, a progressive, as the president "of the greatest nation ever conceived in a human brain. The governor added that Kansas was the greatest state lon the face of the globe' that the United States was "he greatest nation God ever allow ed to be operated" and the presi- dent of the United States had more power and more majesty than any king, or potentate of ancient or mod ern times.'
 And now. ladies and gentlemen the governor concluded, "Bill Taft Is going to speak to you. want you Ito give him the most royal recep- ton a president ever received on Iearth."
 Governor Stubbs. waving a hand kerchief. led in the cheering that fol- lowed.
 When the president had concluded IGovernor Mann of Virginia, made IbaIef addfess. Then came secre- ltary Fisher and the reply from Sen ator Bristow who glared at the sec retary as he talked.
 Senator Curtis of Kansas, classed las conservative, was next to speak land he took advantage of the some what strained situation to pay a tribute to Secretary Fisher.
 Senator Curtis concluded with the assertion that the people of Kansas believed Mr. Taft broad enough and Ibig enough to be the president of lall people.
 President Taft spent the entire day lin Hutchinson. departing tonight for lTopeka.
 Arriving at the fair grounds the Ipresident was greeted by an i'm Imcase throng. Even the side show managers, in moment of unexpect- led generosity, allowed their "freaks' freedom long enough to see the Ipresident go by in his motor car
