at ten o'clock this morning held an
important conference with repubE-
can editors. AT 1880 O'Clock he ad-
dressed the constitutional convention
and at one O'Clock left for Akron,
closing his tou of Ohio. His physi-
cal condition remains unchanged.
Columbus, O.-Reviewing the
achievements of his administration
before the Columbus Glee club last
night President Taft drew the line
sharply between the old line republi-
ms and the progressives of his par
ty and said that the time was at hand
when a denunciation Of the progress
sives must cease and when the nation
will demand facts. He had not the
slightest doubt, he said. that the re-
publican party would win out in the.
November election.
The president made II of the
most aggressive speeches he has de-
livered in many months. He indicat-
ed that he had grown impatient with
the attacks that have been made up
on the republican party and upon
his administration in the last Two
years. He said hat the old line re-
publicans We're Observation-Disclosures
| sive enough to adopt all legislation
that progress demanded-but said
that he was net the sort of man to
promise to make a heaven on earth"
Or to reform the earth in a day. He
said that in his mind there were three
reasons why the party should be re-
turned to power next November. One
was thai it. had done REASONABLY and
fairly Well in his administration OF
the government in the last few years
and deserves the continued conf
dence of the country; the second
was that it was progressive and
would put in operation all the neces-
sary legislation that is progressive"
and the third was that the party is
mot chasing chimeras and not I'M
settling the foundation OF govern
ment merely to indulge in the fan
cies of hope"

The president arrived in Column
bus early. Republican National
Committeeman A. /. Vorys of Ohio,
came from Cleveland with him but
said there had not been any politi-
cal talk en- route or even at the
breakfast table. We did not talk
politics at breakfast" MIR. Vorys
said. I'VE discussed the condition

There were other republican lead
ers who called to see the president
during the day who did talk politics
and who admitted it. Several lead
ers told the president that the Taft
forces would control the Ohio state
central committee by a comfortable
majority and others thai the move
ment in his behalf was gaining
strength.
Governor Harmon, who was a
luncheon guest with the president,
could not escape the political at
mosphere, for when Mr.. Taft arose
to speak he prefaced his address
with a few confessions in which he
and Ohio's governor figured, much
to the delight of the diners and the
amusement of Governor Harmon
who apparently enjoyed it as much
as the president.
