Achievements of Taft Administration
Greatest of Any Three Years in History

Washington, July 10.-The cam
paign for the reelection of President
Taft was formally launched in New
York today. James B. Reynolds Of
Massachusetts,, who was named as sec
retary of the republican national
committee, did the launching, and C..
D. Hilles, President Taft's secretary,
who was selected for chairman of the
national committee. will join him in
New York Monday to help sail the
political ship; Mr.. Reynolds will Sc
cure rooms for the New York head
quarters, probably in the Metropolitan
building. and expects to have them
ready for Mr.. Hilles next week.
Mr.. Hilles issued statement declar-
ing the confidence of the republican
party in its cause and its candidates.
It follows:
"The republican party approaches
the presidential campaign with conf
dence in the solemnity of it's cause
and in the integrity and ability of the
candidates who represent that cause.
Progress with order is good doctrine
for the republican party today as 1t
has been since the day Of its birth.
Real progressiveness is not the
ory, but an achievement. No Americ-
can citizen should be deceived into
an exchange of his birthright for a
vision. The progress Of the nation
toward better things does not come
from defamation. but from actual re-
suits. More has been accomplished

sion but would nsk for a recess until

in support Of Senator Lorimer shortly

expected to address the senate. no one
arose. Senator Gallinger. in the chair.
already had begun to put the question
when. In the midst Of confusion. Sen
ator Lorimer secured recognition and
pleaded for time to get his notes to-
gether for the final speech.
Senators Lee Of Tennessee and Ken
yon Of Iowa, both members Of the
I-orimer investigation committee, and
both scheduled to speak against Lori
mer. were not present. A thirty min
ute recess was taken to allow time for
conferences
The anti-Lorimer leaders endeav-
ored to secure an agreement to close
debate at 3 o'clock this afternoon but
were unsuccessful. The conferences
were without result and when the SEN
ate reconvened no conclusion had been
reached. A recess until today then
was taken.
In concluding his speech defending
Lorimer, Senator Dillingham; attacked
the 100000 slush fund" story of
General Manager Funk of the Inter-
national Harvester company. He said
this story had been known for some
time before Funk made it public. He
asserted Funk's desire to kept 1t secret
grew out Of his fear of Lorimer's pow-
er as a senator.
This story never was used where
It could be subjected to legal investi-
gation," said Senator Dillingham;; at
never was used except for the purpose
OF bringing political death to William
Lorimer.'
In the discussion Of the evidence
today Senator Smith referred to the
recent lawsuit brought in Chicago by
John Henning against Clarence Funk,
general manager of the International
Harvester company, in which Hen
ming charged Funk with alternating
his wife's affections.
Henning lost the case and his wife
IS said to have confessed that the
charge was conspiracy to injure
Funk for his testimony against Sena-
tor Lorimer. Smith said he thought
the suit was brought to affect the
Lorimer case. The point was warmly
contested.

not keep the engagement.
1T was reported from one source
that Mr.. Hendrickson had a sore toe"
said William Johnson of the Maryland
delegation after the state caucus had
selected the proposed nominee. Per
haps, he, too. was sore. but Mr.. Hen
erickson like great many other pro-
hibitionists in this party believes that
our party holds too many meetings in
the churches and that we are contin-
ually bowling too much for the church
vote.
What we want is the vote outside
the churches. We believe that this
practical party should not meddle so
much with politics in the churches and
the pulpit"
The entrance in the presidential
race of Mr.. Hendrickson proba bly, will
result in the elimination of Joshua
Levering of Baltimore. prohibition

has been mentioned as a probability

that he did not wish his name to go

way Of real reform was to be gained
from either of them or from the third
party dominated by Roosevelt.
mo other president since the foun
datton of this government" declared
Howard, "has surrendered more alb
jectly to the liquor interests Of this
nation than William Howard Taft. His
record is too recent. familiar and
odorferous to require review in this
intelligent presence"
Howard said 1t would be a criminal
waste Of time to argue that the liquor
traffic could be stamped out through
the republican party. "By its silent
platform. its present and unworthy
leadership. its long consistent liquor
tured candidate. who obtained his
nomination at the hands Of the con-
vention which Theodore Roosevelt
declares represents nothing but sue
cessful political fraud perpetrated in
the interest of politics and financial
privilege" and who more than any
of his predecessors has become the
wet nurse for the saloon.
And what better results can be ex-
pected from the democratic party ?

They proceeded to organize Mr.. Taft's
campaign quite undisturbed by the re-
port that number of progressive re-
publicans We're going to circulate petit

ticket None Of the committeeman
regarded that movement seriously in
view of the fact that 1t was being

the campaign would be bitterly fought
but among them were many express
sions of confidence in the reelection
of Mr.. Taft. The ease with which the

and unanimously named MIR. Hilles

cation of how the leaders expect re-
