the achievements " his administration
before the Columbus Glce club here
tonght President TAFT drew the line
sharply between the old line repuh-
licaus and the progresslVes of his
party and said that the time was at
hand when the fdonunciations of the
proHtossives must cease and when
the nation viii demand facts.
lie said he had not the slightest
doubt that the republican party will
carry the November elections.
The president made one of the
most aggressive speeches he has de-
liVered in months. He indicated that
he had grown impatient with the at
taCks that have been made upon the
republican party and upon the admin
istration. He said that the old line
republicans were progressive, progress
siVc enough 10 adopt all the legisla-
tiuu that progress demanded; but that
he WIS not the sort of man to pro-
mise to make a heaven ON earth" or
To reform the world I'm a day.
lie said that in his mind there were
three reasons why the party should
be returned To power next November.
one WAS that Il had done "reason-
ably ana fairly well. in its admins
tratinn of the government in the last
few years and deserved the continued
confluence ur tlis country the hscolt3
was that IL was progressing and
would put In operation all the necas-
sary legislation that is progressiVe."
and the third was that the party WAS
not chasing chimcras and not unset
Ting the foundations of government
merely 10 indulge in the faneies or
hope.
The presidents political speech came
as n surprise TO many of his auditors,
who listened respectfully when he be-
gan eNieWing narratiNe-iashion his
know ledge of William Mckinley.
From the former president, however,
he switched suddenly into discussion
.of present day politics and the din
ers checred him wildly when he said:
Il believe that the republican party
Is going t. hc successful in Novcm-
hcr 1912. and / believe It thorough
ly and sincerely and without any
mental reservations whatever; and !
believe that bccausc / have real faith
in the intelligence and discrimination
OF the American people. | believe that
they know what good service Is. !

discrimination enough TO enable the
