JACOB M. DICKINSON'S SPEECH
At tho banquet givon in his honor
by the Iroquois club at Chicago,
Jacob M. Dickinson, Mr. Taft's secre
tary of war, spoke as follows:
When I accepted tho compliment
of a farewell dinner from my friends
of the Iroquois club, I understood
that It had no political significance,
was in no sense an indorsement of my
going into the cabinet of President
Taft, and that it was merely an ex
pression of personal cood will. If I
hud anticinated that it. would offend
any member of tho club I would have
taken leave of my well-wishers in an
informal way. When it was brought
to my notice that objection had been
made, I at once requested that the

is an abnormal condition when almost
all those who represent the property
and best citizenship often contiguous
states act together politically. It is
certain that all of them do not think
alike on all such questions, and that
differences of opinion would lead to
opposite party aniliation in the south
ern states, as in the other states, but
for a constant and powerful compact
ing force. It is a misfortune to the
south, a misfortune to the whole
country, that inexorable conditions
were such, that differences on all
other questions have been subordin
ated to one question When such ac
tion of those best qualified to repre
sent their people extended through
out so long a period and so constant
ly, it would be like indicting a na
tion to affirm that it was either un
wise or unpatriotic. Whether or not
these conditions will operate in the
future, as they have in the past, I
do not claim the wisdom to predict.
All lovers of our country should
unite in the hope that this may not
be true not so much on account of
the political result, as on-account of
the conditions themselves, which are
a constant menace to the south, and,
in reflex action, pperate with unhap
py effects upon the entire country.
On account of the causes to which
I have referred, all of the southern
states at the lnsf. einoHn ooo- v.t-
electoral votes against President Taft,
wo uiey nave nitnerto done with re
spect to other republican presidential
candidates. Therefore, politically,
there was no bond between him and
the southern states. He is now, after
the battle has been fought, entering
upon the duties of his office, as pres
ident of the entire country. He has
been much in the south, and for
years has counted very many south
ern men within the closest circle of
friendship. His jurisdiction as
judge extended over the states of
Kentucky and Tennessee. Through
a long period he was in close asso
ciation with the people there, visited
their homes intimately, was always
an earnest student of everything af
fecting the general welfare of the
wuutiy, aim came ro know more
about the southern people and the
causes controlling their social and
political action than any man of the
north who has been called to high
national office. Moved by no obliga
tions to the south, rut by strong
friendship and sympathy, for the
southern people, and still more by a
patriotic love for the entire counter
whose welfare is necessarily bound
up with that of the .south, he SeteS
mined to invite into his .cabinet a
2 hf man' Sereby giving assur
ance to the southern people, that al
though their solid electoral vote was
against him, he wanted them to feel
that they were in close relation with
ma uuiuxuiacrauon ana would bo In
no sense alien to it.
If he had selected for this nurrman
n Rmirhnrn rarniMi . purpose
qualified to discharge' the duties
the office, it would not have fulflilSj
Uie purpose he had in mind, if he
had selected a democrat who had
voted for him, there would have been
room for carping criticism to say
however unjustly, that the appoint
ment had been tendered and accepted
as a reward for such support; and
besides, such an appointment might
have lacked that ligament with the
southern people which would exist
between them and one who had not
left the party. I am confident that
mo eicuu jmrjjuBu 01 me president
was to establish the relationship I
have indicated. It would belittle the
broad patriotism which inspired him,
to assume that his purpose was to
achieve political results. Having
known me for a long time and inti
mately, and having conferred' with
southern men whose opinions he val
ued, he came to the conclusion that
my qualifications, and my relations
to the southern people, were such as
junior iJULimg me in nis cabinet.
Having accepted the position, I
shall bring to the discharge of the
du"es of the office my best efforts,
and shall, of course, carry out his
policies. I can not conceive that any
duty can arise in connection with
that office that will be incompatible
with any views I have hitherto en
tertained. Certainly if such an occa
sion should arise, I would not em
barrass the president by holding a
position, the duties of which I could
not heartily discharge.
That the purpose operating in his
mind was broad, magnanimous and
patriotic, no one can question. The
wisdom both of the purpose and of
his selection is to be tried by time.
I have every assurance, from letters
K? j. Pressions in the public press,
that his action in appointing me and
my action in accepting are approved
by the south, and having the appro
val of the southern democratic states,
whose judgment was especially ap
pealed to in this matter by the pres
ident, I can bear with equanimity any
criticism that may come from indi
vidual democrats elsewhere
