Omaha, June e3.-Such a crowd
hotel in Omaha seldom holds for a poll
,ical banquet gathered last night at the
Hotel Rome for the republican reunion
at which Senator William S. Kenyon,
Of Iowa, spoke. The great dining room
was early filed. The crowd over
flowed and filed the large ladies par
lor which was furnished With tables
for the occasion. Still they flowed in.
until seven ia bles had been filled in the
aisle leading from the main dining
room to the general lobby Of the hotel
And when the dinner was well
started. came. another delegation OF
loyal republicans on a late train from
Plattsmou1h. and had TO be served IN
the vineyard down stairs.
There were over 400 banqueters all
enthusiastic. among whom all party
Differences appeared eradicated.
Why Split Came.
Senator Kenyon spoke frankly of the
differences that had divided the party
temporarily in 1912 and allowed Wood
row Wilson to slip into the White
House on 2 minority vote. He spoke
of bossism. and pointed out that
bosses necessarily arise in every
party.
But bossisnl alone is not sufficient
reason for leaving party" he said.
If bosses get into the party, are We
going TO get out of the party and leave
the party 10 the bosses? II burglars
get into Your house. are You going 10
abandon that house and leave it to the
burglars in the future? II pirates get
into a ship do they scuttle the ship or
Go they throw the pirates overheard
Should We not get into the work
and shake from the party the grip OF
the men who want 10 use il for selfish
purposes.
'Penroseisn and Forakerism and
Barnesism are not repu5licanism. a
call Of the people for the republicans
20 come back is not a call for Penrose
and Foraker and Barnes. The election
Of Roger Sullivan in Illinois would be
just as bad blow to the democratic
Gratis must get rid of the Sullivans and
party mus, get rid Of the creates:
trust-huilder in the country. George W.
Perkins before It can have the full
confidence Of the people
Taft Misrepresented.
4 want to say. too, gentlemen, that
think William Howard Taft was
much misrepresented man. n my opin-
ion he was the victim OF the great
trusts and combinations whom he
fought as nc other president ever
fought them. The great rank and file
of the progressive party and the great
rank and file of the republican party
think alike on most important ques-
tons WHY should they part? 1t was
simply because some political lea ders,
VINO, if me party were together, woulc
ind themselves on a political Helena,
are striving to keep them apart But
they can't DO it. In 1916 in my opinion
they will De together on a progressive
Platform, ard viii march TO victory
under the banner of republicanism.''
The senator touched on the reorgani-
cation Of the old system of southern
IN the republican ma
-ional convention. and praised the re-
vision. 1t was never right he said
tina. 1000 or 3 $50 republicans in Mis-
souri, should have as much right -
the republican convention as 300, 900 or
300. 900 republicans in Iowa or Ne
braska"
Democrats and Tolls.
The speaker attacked the democratic
for their proposed violation Of their
