PRESIDENT TAFT
LAUDS HIS PARTY
President Says Republicans Have
Shown Themselves Capable
of Great Work.

JACKSON. Mich., Juno B-Presldent
i Taft yesterday proclaimed socialism as the
great problem that confronts the American
t people the Issue that Is soon to come and
I that must be skilfully met. By Its history,
he declared the republican party had shown
itself capable of dealing with the great
, questions effectively and wisely and he
predicted that the American people must
roon determine whether it shall trust the
name party with the solution of "that
problem than which we have had no
greater in the history of the country."
Mr. Taft spoke with great earnestness
and Ms remarks coming as a reiteration of
a brief reference to socialism in his speech
at Ada, O., yesterday seemed deeply to
Impress his hearers. Dy many . his words
were tskeu as framing an issue for the
coming campaign. The president disclaimed
ary purpose of making a partisan adJress,
but the occasion of his visit here was the
Xinvellltig of a bronze tablet commemorating
the organisation or the republican party as
"under the oaks" in 1854 and he could not
refrain from a comparison of the party
with its opponents which 'was not alto
gether favorable to the opponents.
He also declared that popular govern
ment must be a government of parties and in
this conectlon there was Just a passing hint
at insurgency. The president declared that
unless Individuals are willing to sink minor
considerations to the will of the majority
in a partx there would come a rule by
' groups.
"In that event," he added. "The Lord only
krows where your government would tip
and what It would accomplish.
The president left here tonight at 8:30 for
Washington, by way of Toledo and Buf
falo over the Lake Shore road.
Meference to Noelallsm.
In his speech here this afternoon the
president's reference to socialism came at
the conclusion of a brief history Of what
the republican party has done. '
Ha. -said: , "'For . the ..future. I h!I say
nothing, because you would say I was mak
ing a political speech. All I can say is
that the Issue that Is being framed. It
seems to me, Is the Issue with respect to
the Institution of private property. There
are those who charge to that institution the
corporate abuses, the greed and the cor
ruption that grew out of those abuses, the
unequal distribution of property, the pov
erty of some and undue wealth of others,
and therefore, say we will have none of It
and we must have a new rule of distribu
tion, that for want of a better name we
shall call socialism.
"On thn other hand It is contended that
It Is. not the Institution of private prop-
ff erty that should be abolished, but only that
the time has come In which It is necessary
to lay down certain rules restricting and
regulating the use of that private properly
which shall not deprive the world of in
dividual effort, but which shall still keep
the law and the opportunity to use private
I property under such control that these
abuses may be wiped out and the boon of
individual efforts still be left to us."
Open Air Meeting-.
Mr. Taft spoke In the open air at Kelley
park to a grand stand filled with a throng
which gave him a demonstrative welcome,
lie said in part:
"This meeting today is not a partisan
t meeting. It is the memorial of a party,
but It is historical, and not partisan. What
' I mean by that distinction Is that the re
publican party has lived long enough, has
taken parts distinctive enough In the
growth and pi-ogress of this country to be
treated historically and Judicially and with
out the ferver and without this partiality
of partisan speech.
"We have to have parties In a republic,
and party government means that a ma
jority or minority united to support r-
talrt p-lnclples of government and to put
them in force and agree that they win
yield UP their views on details and prln-c-lples
of less Importance and unite on
the great principles ar.d follow the party
In the course which, by a majority vote.
It lays down as the proper course to take.
Unless you do that, you are going to have
a government of groups, by parties less
i than majorities, and the Lord knows where
feur government will be or how much It
will accomplish.
"Now the republican party wns born
of a nieral issue. When the civil war
' became necesavy with the sad but the
long headed Lincoln, our responsibilities
were assumed, and we were carried
through that war as a party. It is quite
true that those who had been democrats'
. milted to help put down the war, but the
organising force, the responsible power,
was the republican party.
Tarty Does Thing.
"One of the characteristics of the re
publican party Is Its ability to do thing
Now 1 di not say that as an Idle boast,
but if you can point to a party In Kngland
or a party ti the l.'nited Elates that hr.s
had Issues to meet that the republican
party ha J met and that hits met them with
the success ana eirecuvencss oi me re
publican party, I would be glad to have
you name It. It la true that the time
teemed to produce the man for every
emergency but behind that man. organised
to hold up his hand, was the republican
party In eveiy Issue and every exigency.
'it la Mid lhat Oram saved the country.
It Is said that Lincoln saved lo country.
I should bo the lust to detract in the
slightest from the grand reputation of
either of those men, but neither Lincoln
nor Grant could have accomplished what
he did or brought about the results thai
were brought about unless there was an

the Interior as Imposing as the day It was

by Senator Cummins.

Mtitatlve.
. "In the midst of this demonstration, what
care I for all the muckrakers from'Des
Moines to Madison." With three words
Congressman Walter I. Smith launched
himself Into a stirring vindication of him
self before a packed audience at the Star
theater In Council Bluffs Saturday, In an
swer to the attack which had been made
upon him by United States Senator A. B.
Cummins the night before.
By pointed inference the speaker early
made It plain that he recognized in the
senator's criticisms in which he asked that
Mr. Smith be defeated In the next election,
a plot to give Cummins and Senator Dolll
ver of Iowa the balance of power. in Iowa.
"It Is apparent that these gentlemen may.
fear that my possible election as next
speaker of the; house,"., said the Judge,
".would, give me higher rank than they."
. On this point Congressman Smith declared
he had -been Informed that when the old
rules committee was recently dissolved and
the 1 question . of 'ousting Speaker Cannon
was. being voted upon, a certain Iowa sena
tor had begged a democratic associate to
support the speaker, -"For God's sake, vote
for Cannon," the speaker quoted' the sena
tor as having said, ' if Cannon Is defeated
Smith will be speaker by nightfall." -
Points to HU Una Record. ' )
Throughout bis speech, lasting two' hours,
Congressman Smith frequently made refer
ence to the motives of hidden design that
actuated Senators Cummins and Dolllver in
fighting him. He rapidly sketched his own
service In congress, pointing out how he
had through several legislative jmovea saved
the United States millions of dollars in the
past, and assured a saving of at least' $50,-
000.000 every year for the future.
"The gentleman who said last night that
I should not be sent back to congress has
been in the senate three sessions," said
the congressman. "Throughout those three
sessions that gentleman has not written so
much as a paragraph, a line, a word, nor
even a punctuation nmrhr-crrany law of the
riatlon. '
The speaker made a strong defense of
the new tariff law and of the system of
rules in the house, explaining that each
was the best to be had. It Was a non-essential
mistake congress was said to have
promised a revision downward. lie said
the body never promised that, but the pres
ident had interpreted its attitude In that
light and the public had been thus misin
formed. He pointed out that revision had
been made upward on all fuch luxuries as
steam yachts, champagne, cologne and aut
omobiles, and had been lowered on the
products of the Standard OH company and
on the necessities of life.
Concerning; Criticisms.
Conoernlng the critolsms made of him by
Senator Cummins, the speaker made a sep
arate reply to each, pointing out a motive
behind eaoh of the verbal indictments. "1
don't like the company Senator Cummins
keeps at Washlngton,"-he added. "He Is
continually as.-tociatlng with democrats; I
associate with republicans. If I didn't like
their company I would not remain in con
gress as a republican."
Congressman Smith also took up the at
tack made on htm by the La Follette
Weekly, which he said was being circu
lated by the Dyers men. "This paper has
devoted several pages to libelling me," he
said. He then quoted the statement in the
magsslne that "Council Bluffs la that part
of Omaha Which la on-the east side of the
Missouri river, in Iowa," and that "Coun
cil Bluffs is the commercial backyard of
big business centering in Omaha," and
called attention to the fact that not satis
fied with defaming him, the Byers men
were defaming the city in which he lived.
Referring to senator . Dolllver s recent
statement that the tariff law was a scheme
to 10b the people, Congressman Smith re
marked that if such were so, it was a
great commentary upon the people of the
country, since nine-tenths of-he lawmakers
had voted for it. "What a pity that the
people of this country can elect a congress
only one-tenth honest," he said. "I think
It means that one-tenth need watching.
When the one-tenth accuses the nine-tenths
of being crooked, it shows a natural state
of mind of crookedness on their own part.'

LINCOLN, June 5. (Special.) By secur
Ing the adoption of a motion to endorse
the Oregon plan of electing Vnlted States
senators Harvey Newbranch acting for Mr
Hitchcock put one over the senatorial can
dldate's side kicker, Governor Shallenberger
and also Mr. Bryan. Friends of the gov'
ernor believe if it were not for the Oregon
plan which tho democratic legislature en
acted Into a Nebraska law, the executive
with , the right , kind of a lieutenant-governor
would be elected senator by a demo
cratic legislature. Friends of Mr. Bryan
"know" that he would be elected. So both
of these men who are jointly responsible
for that law would like to sea It hike out
over, the transom.
Reports have come In that several can
didates for the legislature were Ignoring
the law and no note of warning came from
the Commoner office or from the execu
tive office. and It remained for Mr. Hitch
cock's representatives to take the matter
up. . This move almost certainly forces
the governor to give up any dream he mas
have had to go to the senate this winter
and It . will ,make it necessary for Mr.
Bryan to submit his name In competition
with that of Mr. Hitchcock at the
primaries, and while there are many who
feci absolutely certain that he will run,
yet they realir.e It Is going to be em
barrassing for him to make the announce
ment. Incidentally while there Is every
evidence to show that Hitchcock and Shall
enberger have a tit up. the action of Mr.
Hitchcock's adherents indicates they arc
taking no chances of a throw down. They
intend to make the governor a senatorial
