Taft Says Time Has Arrived for That
Policy to Cease.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 0-Reviewing
the achievements of his administration
before the Columbus Glee club here
tonight, President Taft drew the lines
sharply between the old line republi-
cans and the progressives OF his party,
and practically declared that the time
was at hand when the "denunciation"
OF the progressives must cease and
when the nation will demand facts. He
had not the slightest doubt, he said,
that the republicans would win out
in the November elections.
President Tafts second day in Ohio
developed less speechmaking and more
politics than did his sixteen-hour stop
in Cleveland. Many republican lead
ers visited him today with a word or
two and to add to the presidents
growing information about the pollti-
cal conditions here. The president
spoke at a luncheon of the chamber

Columbus Glee club, repeated portions
OF his speech last night to the Tippe-
canoe club of Cleveland. He spent
the night in Columbus and ends his
trip tomorrow at Akron. Shortly aft
er his arrival, the president held a
reception in a local hotel and accord
ing to the estimates of members of
his party, more than 5000 persons
marched by and shook the presidential
hand.
A near blizzard ragged here most of
the day. The alarming reports as to
the presidents physical condition that
went out Of Cleveland last night have
been discred1ted The president de-
clared today that he was far from
being a sick man. and said the only
inconvenience he suffered was from
his cough. and from the fact that his
cold interfered with his sleep. Dr.
r. L. Rhoads, mis- physician, said that
the president was recovering from a
bronchial attack that could be expect
ed to run its course without serious
consequence in several days.
