dent Taft, in q speech delivered from
the rear OF his train yesterday. notified

my heart to your cordial reception. l
believe there Is some politics going on,
but am not here to take part In 1t.
So far as am concerned you will have

inspiration to come thru Springfield. to
meet its intelligent citizens, and to
receive the welcome which uniformly
you have been kind enough to give
me.
Il am going on trip to my home

something to say to the people Of Ohio

esting and honorable. there are things
that can enjoy more in hot weather"

before another train on the Boston and
Albany had arrived on the Boston and
Maine tracks on the north side of the
station. and the crowd thinking it was
the presidents train made a rush for
the last car. only to discover that it
; was a diner and that the only occu-
pant Of the rear platform was a portly
colored chef, whose physical makeup
, was the only thing presidential about
him.
At Pittsfield President Taft said:
Il am moi mere 10 burden yon with
a political speech. I have made all
the political speeches from the end OF a
Pullman car that I ever expect to
make. II have any case to submit
to the American people I am going to
submit it on facts without further ar
Rument."
