LIVELY STREET MEETING
A Few Third Party Men Try to
Interrupt Taft Speakers.
Kisses SOON QUIET THEM
Republican MONDAY Meeting in
Newspaper Row Draws
Large Audience.

/ More than a thousand persons gathered
yesterday about the speakers stand ~
the Taft and Sherman Business Mems
Association. on the Spruce street side of
the Tribune Building. 10 listen to Edward
| Brennan, chairman OF the association.
and Thomas Bingham present the case Of
the Republican candidates.
| MIR Bingham laid particular emphasis
on the record Of President Taft Ia con
structive legislation during his four years
| in office. and developed from this the
great need Of returning him 10 power FOR
| the next four years. I'm order 10 carry out
the work he has started but has not mad
time to finish. especially along the lines
Of scientific tarin revision.
! The speaker then took mp the subject OF
the third party uprising, and showed that
l it came from temporary confusion I'm
the minds Of the people as 10 Tafts worE
and Roosevet's real intentions
I'VE want no one-man rule In this ooun-
try" Mr.. Bingham flung back In response
| 10 incipient cheers that arose AT the men
| ton. at the coIoners name. That is ia"
European idea. The Republican partysc ~
this country has stood for thirty years
| for the rule Of the people by the people.
and we old Republicans will wade In
| blood 10 the knees before We will yield
! that doctrine"
| While Mr. Bingham was speaking some
one showed a Roosevelt photograph from
Il window near by This started cheering
among the Roosevelt admirers thus in
| terrupting the speaker but II storm Of
Kisses from the Taft adherents quickly
drowned the yells for the colonel.
! This had the effect of greatly enarging
the audience, as the noise reached we'll
out in Park Row and drew IN hundreds
| from the throngs passing up and down
! that thoroughtare.
( Mr.. Bingham went on to say that the
country was never so prosperous as at the
! present time, due to the safe and sane
administration Of President Taft. and he
! asked his hearers II they would be so IN
wise as to change this condition Of things
| for an uncertainty. He declared he did
not believe In chasing wIll-othe- wlsps.
While the Taft and Sherman Business
Mems League meeting was going on the
MoOsettes were holding forth at the Ben
jamin Franklin statue near by. The
Moosettes audience rapidly dwindled
away In favor OF the liyelier affair In
progress on the corner and the women
speakers were IN dismay.
Mr.. Rlngham's vigorous engagement
with the crowd drew forth questions In
increasing numbers so that when Mr..
Brennan took the stand he had highly
Interested and active audience on his
hands He plunged right into the job and
held their attention with recital In de-
tail OF what the last four years OF Re
publican regime stood for.
I'VE stand for all men In this country"
he said We are for jew and Catholic,
as well AZ men from all nations and of
all religions All We ask for is a chance
to carry out the work Of legislation We
have begun along the lines Of constructive
statesmanshp. If there are evils In the
times 10 be corrected, It is along those
lirrs. aud not BY revolution"
