Along Lines of Western Speeches.
The Presidents speeches in Nashua
We're along the lines of those delivered
in Toledo and Chicago last week. He
declared that the recall of decisions would
make a government of special instances,
the most erratic form of government that
We can have.
Mr.. Taft was introduced in the Nashua
Theater by George B. French, a local
attorney, who said:
New Hampshire welcomed you three
years ago. when you were SO highly
recommended by Col. Roosevelt, and She
is glad to welcome you now"

he proceeded to show how his admins

An Ideal Spring Day.
The Granite State authorities produced
an ideal spring day, and so warm lay
the sun in the Nashua square that the
President was able to speak with his
head uncovered and was perspiring freely
when he finished his address.
The special train whirled him up the
Merrimac river valley from Nashua with
a few minutes pause at Reeds Ferry,
where a little gathering of millhands
cheered him to the echo. He reached
this city at noon.

Boston's Cordial Reception.
BOSTON. March 19.-In many ways
yesterday was the busiest and most dem
onstrative day the President has spent
since he entered the White House. Mem
bers of his party We're unanimous in de-
claring that no reception ever accorded
Mr.. Taft in his travels exceeded in cor
diality that which Boston gave him. From
the time his train arrived at o'clock
yesterday morning until he retired last
night Bostonians apparently We'd with
one anothersto express their friendly feel
ing.
From the statehouse, where he spoke on

ceived the Harvard Taft Club at his hotel.

ing Americans and added a word about
the evident belief of that race in the sta

Pays Tribute to the Irish.
In this connection, the President said
tonight, however. is the we'll known fact
that socialism and anarchy have found
no lodgment among Irishmen. Not from
them do We hear proposals to change the
fundamental law: to take away the indie
pendence Of the judiciary, or to minimize
in any way the influence and power of
constituted authority. They welcome
progress. they are enterprising, and ac-
tive to further prosperity. They are not

order.
They struggle for equality of oppor-
tunity, and recognize the value of liberty
ordered by law. They are not reaching
out for new gods of government. They
are not seeking to invent a new society.
and turn the present topsyturvy. They
are on the side of law and order. They
are partaking of the civilization, the good
fortune the prosperity, and the happiness
that is possible under our American gov

value it; they will fight to preserve it,
