ST. 'LOt'IS. Mo., Oct. 6. Special Tela- I
gram.) William H. Taft' tour of the west
ended tonight. He la to apeak at Chicago
and -Oalesburg, but his addreaa In those
citlea will be non-polltlcal. It will be two
weeka tomorrow alrtca the Taft apeclal left
Cincinnati. In .that time twelve atatea
hava been rlalted. and fully 1,000,000 peraona
have anan and heard tha republican candi
date fur the presidency.
All misgivings of tha success of the trip
were abandoned before Mr. Taft had been
away -froth home" two daya, but the moat
optimistic member of hla .party were sur
prised at the remarkable ovations given
him; all ha penetrated In tha west
and visited states which had been Hated In
the doubtful column. Having seen with his
own eyes," heard with his own ears, and
discussed face to face with the local leaders
the political problems of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, South
Dakota, North Dakota and Colorado. Mr.
Taft I firmly convinced that these states
will return republican pluralltlea In Novem
ber. In more than half the atatea vlalted
by the Taft party there are factional dif
ferentia among the republicans on state
matters. Mr. Taft realised the Impossi
bility of harmonising these differences, but
In every Instance he was able to bring to
gether tha .copfllctlng, 'elements, and line
them up solidly, and enthualastlcally for
the national ticket. 1 '
Will Star a Road.
Probably the largest average crowds of
the trip were encountered In Kansas, but In
every atata visited th slse and temper
of those wha gathered at the railway sta
tions to see and cheer tha republican nomi
nee was revelation to the local com
mittees. Thl ts Mr. Taft' first experi
ence of a political camnnigr.er and his stic
cens has been so pronounced that he de
sires to atay on the road every day until
election. . Accordingly, when he reaches
Chicago, ha will urge Chairman Hitchcock
and Senator Dixon, to make up an Itinerary
that will occupy every day for the next
four weeks- No member of the party is a
better traveler than Mr. Taft himself. He
hunrtmiased a menl sne tea Vina; CJnrln
nsti and though Wi hours have "been long,
and his work arduous, he has reated well
r-d apparently, la. aj vigorous as when he
started.' He has enjoyed ge'tlng acqua'nted
with the people and -learning their point of
view of public question. The fact Is Mr.
Taft la convinced that he will be elected
president, and as hs has" said more than
once, h desires to know the temper of the
people respecting the great economic prob
lems which are to come before congress
during his administration.
It Is Mr. Taft'i wish to go south on his
next trip. He has visions of Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina and even Geor
gia being carried by .the republican this
year, lie will urge tha campaign manager
to Include these states In his Itinerary. In
the two weeks of his tour Mr. Taft has
mad IS) 'speeches. His voice, Which gave
him considerable trouble for the first few
days, has Improved with practice, and Is
now In good condition.
Judga Taft'a St. iouls reception waa a
fitting elmax of his tour, for he had record
crowds, He struck this city on the day of
the festival of the veiled -prophet, and
found more than 1,000,000 people here. In
cluding visitors from all the adjoining
states. There waa a reception committee of
100 first Voters at ths railway station, and
tha streets-were blocked with cheering Taft
entnua'asta. It was a fitting climax of a
wonderful trip, and corroborates Mr. Taft'a
belief that Missouri may cease being "a
strangaf Jn a republican family of states."

waa tha center of Immenae crowds. The
Una 1 of march from tha atatlon to tha

people, who bio keft either side of, tha

was compelled to stand with hie hat In

The plana for sa orderly reception to the
public at the Planters hotel were upaet
by tha crush of mart and women, who

Welcomed to Omaha by Mayor. Dahlman
and W. 8. Wright, president of the Com
mercial club, the delegates to the sixth an
nual convention of the. Rural Free Delivery
Carriers' association held a lively,' but' en'
tlrely harmonious . meeting at Hotel Rome
yesterday. A letter 'from .President' Roose
velt to tho convention was read nt th aft
ernoon session. The delegates had much
amusement over where to spend their even
ing at a theater where "The ' Devil" Is
being played, or at 'the Auditorium to- hear
Governor Hughes speak. They divided be
tween the two places, but not along politi
cal lines, It was announced.
The first session was exclusively devoted
to addresses of welcome1 and responses.
Mayor Dahlman speaking In behalf of tha
ilty of Omaha, W. S. Wright f :r tha Omaha
Cbmrnerclal club. Acknowledgment waa
made by H. H. Windsor, editor of the
Rural Free Delivery News, and by W, K.
S(.Hlman of Washington, D. C, superin
tendent of the rural delivery of the Post
office department
The convention waa not called to order
until ll o'clock and previous to this hour
delegates thronged the lobby of the hotel
exchanging grtetlngs, posing for photo
graphs and talking poliths of their own
organisation. The convention la still so
oung that propositions and candidacies
have had hardly a chance to crystallie, but
some sounding of the depth has been be
gun and feelers put out to mix metaphors.
The Invocation waa delivered by Rev.
John Everett Hummon, preceding Mayor
Dahlman'a address.
The outlook Is now that President P. L.
Lindsay of Tucker, Oa., will be re-elected
without opposition and the whole present
set of officers may go in with him. But
If sentiment develops favorably to the
launching of candidates, P. E. Cull of Con
cord, Mass., secretary of the association.
will have a fight on his handa. Two men
are mentioned by their fellow state dele-
gtea, B. B. Boyd of Nevada. Ia., and W.
McMahon of Texaa. Whether the name
of these will be stIwtv tho convention de
pends,-however, : on tho result of the -re-
sponses to the quiet advance of their
friends.
Bane en Polll,
A unanimous sentlruen prevails among
the delegates that politics shall not be
permitted to .interfere with the good of the
order and that rather than see any bitter-
might have hurt the free delivery service
in a number of ways.
It is barely . possible that Nebraska will
have a candidate of ita own. Members of
the delegation are considering bringing
out for vice president Mrs. Ruth Lynch
Kenyon of Monroe, who has a record ca
reer not only as a woman carrier, but as a
carrier of either sex. The Nebraskans
championing her candidacy argue that the
women who deliver, mall should be rec
ognized and that Mrs. Kenyon Is conspic
uously successful among them. Her posi-
llon ln reard t0 th Proposition is not
known- for tne mtler h not progressed
to tne exlent of in'n h- consent
ivansas oeiegaies approacueu un preny
Miss Kunkhouaer of Indiana and asked her
to run for the-same office. Miss j-'unk-houser
P it her foot on the suggestion, say-
'n that she did not want the office ln the
first place and, ln the aecond, that Indiana
I might have another candidate for another
place. "Being good Hoosle'rs, we stick to-
sother,
world
' she said, "and I would not for
be a candidate In the clrcum-
stances."
Five Haadred Delegatess.
Five hundred delegates heard President
Lindsay call the convention to order. He
spok briefly, saving hlmselffor his for
mal address which will be given probably
Wednesday. Governor Sheldon wa not
present, and Mayor Dahlman waa the flrat
apeaker. It was announced that Governor
Sheldon, while unable to attend thi ses
sion, might b here for a later one.
Th visitors received a cordial welcoms
at Mr. Dahlman'a hands. Beginning with
a couple of stories, he launched Into formal
welcome, saying:
"As the representative of a city which
we think one of the greatest in the west,
I am always glad to have the opportunity
to welcome th delegates to a convention.
This Is a community which greet tha
stranger with cordial and hospitable hand.
Like other Omaha men, I am glad to meet
the people face to face, heart to heart and
hand to hand. W are glad . to have
you aee our people, our institutions and
our buildings. We are anxiou to hava
them exposed to your view.
"The word 'exposed' remind m of th
man who met a holdup artist one gloomy
night at a dark corner and Instead of giv
ing up at command, fought like a tiger cat
However, the footpad bested him. He went
through his victim, but found only IS cents.
'Why,' he Inquired of th prostrate
stranger, did you fight like the devil If
that' al! you had? 'I didn't want my finan
cial condition exposed,' was the answer.
"Thl morning." continued the mayor, "I
notified th chief of police to close hla
office, to discharge his captain and give
the roundsmen a vacation a long aa you
are In th city. I shall retire, too, and you,
Mr. Llndaay, may run the city and appoint
your own policemen. Don't forget, diner,
tl-at th pardoning power I your alao and
that 4f any of your boy get Into the
lockup you can let them out".

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Oct. . (Special.) Ed Beach
treasurer of tha Taft Traveling Men' club,
who haa juat returned from -a , trip" to
Custer and Dawson counties, brought back
a different story from that brought back
by Councilman Woodward, who said every
eight men out of ten were for Bryan.
"Custer and Dawson counties are for
Taft," said Mr. Beach. "I have Just re
turned from there and I found republicans
enthusiastic and up and doing for the
ticket. How anyone can say they are for
Bryan I can't understand. It is Just like
th- "iher claims of the democrats, though.
II me covered the state pretty thoroughly

state and the republican state ticket and
legislature will be elected. As a matter of
fact why should Nebraska want a change?

Given Cordial Reeeptloa.
Before a cheering audlenc that filled
the big Audltoiiuni last night, Gnverrmr
Charles E. Hughes of New York, flayed
William J. Brysn as a proposer of unwork
able fancies and dreams and, declared th
welfare of the country demanded the do
feat of Bryan and the election of William
H. Taft ns president. He designated
Bryan's policies ss dangerous and declared
the American people were not given ti hi
revolutionary scheme. Governor Hughe
waa given a rousing reception and hi sd
dress was frequently interrupted by ap
plause. '
The Hughes' tratn reached the TTnloni de
pot over the Northwestern about 8:30 last
night and was met by a large crowd of re
publicans who applauded the New York
leader aa he alighted. He Waa taken at
once to the Auditorium, where he began
hla address about 9 o'clock. H waa pre
ceded there by A. V. Jefferls, republican
nominee for congress and Governor Shel
don, who were both given a cordial recep
tion by the audience.
Governor Hughe said Ira rart:
Bryan's Policies a Dancer.
"Perhaps you have wondered why I have
left my own stats temporarily to com out
here to apeak In behalf of the republican
candidate for president. It is because I
think that the welfare of the country de
mands the defeat of Mr. Bryan. To say
that Mr. Bryan' polk-le ar a danger I
not an extravagant statement. They have
been a danger before and the country haa
repudiated them without there being any
exigency that requires a change from tho
republican to th democratic administra
tion. He come out now as previously and
saya th country require him. I ask you.
to examine hi proposal nnd see whether
you think them . other than 'unworkable
fancies and dreams, a return to ths vice of
the 16 to 1 ratio under a new form.
"We are not a people given to revolu
tionary changes. The. average American
believes In American institution. Ho
wants, not experiment, wlft visionary
schemes, but a stable, solid form of gov
ernment. Now whtn I spesk of rati'- you
wil remember, Mr.. Bryan haa a jrreat love
for percentages. Ha - ha abandoned hut
It to I ratio and ha now got a new on.
Trust Scheme impracticable1.
"You have already learned that In Inter
date commerce a a mean to exterminate
trusts, he propose to limit to SO per cent
the production by any one corporation, of
ary one commodity; that If you owned a
patent or mado an Inventl n you could
not manufacture more than 60 per cent of
the demand for that patented article; that
If you wer Juat startln r In bu'Iness to put
It on the market for the first time yon
wpuld first have to wait until somebody
else produ ed 60 per cent In order hot to
violate the law. What f rm of bureaucratic
governmert would we have to have to
regulate' such a complicated scheme? I
have more than ence asked Mr. Bryan
some rjues loni about this schem. but ap
parently he ha been too busy to answer
them.
"We went frr president not a champion
of radicalism and discontent, but one who
realizes that the prosperity of on clas
's .bound up In the prosperity of, th other
and that one branch of commerce I inter
dependent on the other. Mr. Taft, I be
lieve, understand and ha practiced the
virtues."
Jefferls Land Sheldon.
In ir-trodurlng Governor Sheldon, , A. W.
Jefferis said. "It Is the aim of a true
boontcr to see hi city and stHte grow and
to enjoy prosperity and to knew that the
workman hi getting a good wage, and to
see the meichants rell their goods at a law
profit, great or small for after all It Is not
fate, but 'get up and git' that makes a
city great. It was an inspiring lght
eighteen month ego to see th lead'Of?
citizen of the state take up th banner or
Omaha and Nebraska and carry It to dis
tant atatea advocating the cauie of Omahu
and the atate, he flrat time W ever had
a governor who recognized that Douglas
county had one-eighth of the population
cf Omaha. Nebiaska has been raised tii
a high plan by rcuson of th young Hercu
les. His advice and counsel is that of an
upright and able man, and we are glad to
welcome George L. Phehl-n tonight
Sheldon Contrasts Parti.
"We realise a citlsens of Nebraska that
our interests are mutuale and if I have
don anything which make us proud that
we are Nebraskans, I am thankful," said
George L. Sheldon, governor of Nebraska,
and candidate for re-election.
"I will place the records of deeds done
by the republican party beside the promise
of the other parties. Two year ago we
pointed out specific remedies for thf busea
which had crept Into our government, and
I am glad to be able to stand here and say
they are now not only written on th
statute books, but are In force at thla time.
Do you think thei would have been .
terminal tax bill passed If It had hot been
for the republican party? All citlea are
reaping the benefit. Those remedial law
have accomplished something for th peopl
of thla state without destroying any Just
property interest. Th people never de
rived any benefit from the old maximum
freight law because th railroads beat
them to the courts. Plsce that beside the
IS per cent common freight bill, the Z-cent
passenger fare bill, the Sibley express bill
and th terminal tsx bill, which have saved
the people between $5,000,000 and tH.000,000.
Every one of those law ar in force and
effect at the present time. Compare that
record with the record of the democratic
party and you will see there Is quite a dif
ference. Let the democrats give you tha
record of what tliry have done end not
talk so much.
