Special Cable to New York American
m
London, May 27. "Secretary of War William H. Taft will be the next President of
the United States and the financial troubles m America will soon be over. bo said J.
Pierpont Morgan to the American correspondent today, and in his dual role of political
and financial prophet he said it emphatically. Mr. Morgan has just arrived from Vienna after
thirty years elapsing between this and his previous visit. He declared himself delighted
with the Austrian capital, which, in his opinion, is the most beautiful city in the world. He
is staying at the Hotel Bristol, and Vienna made such a pleasing impression on the banker
that he remained there a week instead of three days, as he had. originally planned.

ADDRESS ALL ORDERS TO
THE COMMONER, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA
history under republican administra
tion is soon to be concluded, and con
forming to party usage long estab
lished this convention of 980 dele
gates and their alternates, chosen by
the republican electorate from every
state and territory within tjie con
fines of the republic, meets in this
high council to submit the record of
its achievements to the critical, review
of the AmBrlcfth people rind make
fresh avowal of its faith fnthe prin
ciples and policies of the republican
party. i '"" '
Four year& ago the ' republican
party in national convention submit
ted the record of its achievements
to the American people, announced
its policies for the future, and, in
voking continuance of public favor,
placed in nomination for the office
of president and vice president of the
United States, Theodore Roosevelt
and Charles W. Fairbanks, w.ho were
elected and ho platform approved by
a popular vpte'of 7,G23,485 'a1 record
unexampled in1 the history 6fJ politi
cal parties since the foundation of
the government, receiving1, the en
dorsement of thirty-two . .states out
of forty-flvo, with but thirteen iu op
position. In view of this indorsement, it be
come pertinent and opportune to in
quire, what has the republican party'
done in the last four years of govern
ment control in many respects the
most remarkable and brilliant in the
history of the party and tlie country
to forfeit public confidence or cre
ate distrust in its capacity for future
administration?
Since the last national republican
convention, four years ago, our pop
ulation has increased from '81.500.-
000 to 87,500,000, while" 4,000,000
of immigrants from every quarter of
the globe have found welcome to
our shores and protection under our
flag.
Senator Burrows continued with a
recital of the increase in the flocks,
the increased agricultural output of
the country, and a general review of
what has been done In "field and
forest, factory and farm, mines and
mills" in the last four years. Re
ferring to the present administration
and tho part it has played he Said:
The nine great executive depart
ments of the government, through
which tho head of the nation sneaks.
and acts, have advanced with steady
and resolute steps within tho sphere
Qf their activities, presenting a record
of achievements during the last four
years of intelligent and progressive
administration unexamined in thn
I history of-the government. ' .
Touching the work of the depart
ment of commerce and labor he said:
The department of commerce and
labor, organized in 1903, has been
active and potential in extending our
commerce and protecting our labor.
It has dispatched messengers to for
eign countries, particularly to South
America and the orient, to learn the
needs and tastes of the people with
a view of increasing our trade.
T&uchiug what he speaks of as the
co-operation between congress and"
this department, he added:.
It is within bounds to say that no
previous sessions of congress have
displayed a more active or Intelli
gent interest in the needs of the
wage-earners than the past three ses
sions, nor has there heretofore- in the
same length of time been as much
important and progressive legisla
tion' in the interests of this class of
our fellow citizens.
Following brief remarks concern
ing the reclamation service and the
pension bureau he praised the post
office department, adding the follow
ing with, respect to postal savings
banks and the ship .subsidy:
A measure providing for postal
sayings banks, recommended by the
postmaster general, has secured the
favorable action of the senate com
mittee on postoffices and post roads
and will undoubtedly receive tho
favorable action of congress at its
next session. It is to be regretted
that a measure to provide for the
carrying of our mails to the orient
and the South American countries in
American ships should have failed,
but its passage In the near future Is
confidqntly expected.
The management of our outlying

istration has been attended with re
markablo success. Under American
occupation and control the commerce
of the island of Porto Rico, which in

rule aggregated but $22,000,000,
was, in 1907, $56,000,000. The
