TOLEDO. O.. March S.-After a day
spent for tho most part an the rear plat

concluded his briet "campalen" through
eastern and northern Ohio here tonight
Willi a speech In the Coliseum. On the
way north from Pittsburgh to Toledo
the president made more than a dosen
speeches froni his private car to crowd
that varied with the alto of the town
at which his train stopped.
Although nioet of the day rain or anow
were falling the Otiloan turned -out In
good numbers ami his friends aboard the

satisfied with the greetings that began
at Alliance early la th day and contin
ued Into thla city
President Taft spoke on all aorta of
subjects, prosperity and peace, the tariff
and business, farming and conservation.
None of his talka was long. Twlca he
referred to the hefusal of the senate yes
terday to ratify as they were framed th
arbitration tree ties with Great Britain
and France, making It plain that while
he bad been disappointed at tbe senate's
action he had not given up th tight. .
"Die cause la a Just one, and wa are
bound to win," said th president at
Mansfield, and later at Tiffin ke ampli
fied this statement by saying: "I hav
net given up. but I am going ta rely on
tha people to help out."
f ee a Jast Oar.
Th president did not Indicate how lie
Intend to aak th pupils to help In tli
fight. .
Tba president ass la good huntor In
spit of tho treaties and th crowd were
apaprentlr In good humor, too.
At Canton somebody raised . a laugh
that brought an answering (mile to the
resident's face, by yelling after Mr,
Tsft wag through speaking: "Don't kit
th lion tauta get you."
The president reaohed aTloto tlrta art.
nioon,diirlnr from the stsrton ta th
Commerce, club over muddy streets and
between stdeaalk filled with people. Mi
reception wa uot o cordial as at other
Ohio town, but thero was enough cheer.

Ohio politicians , naj traveled with
him through the state ssy they. Were
well pleased. Leaving Toledo lata tonight
tbe president Is due. In Chicago early
tomorrow for, a two days', stay,
r reaches Reciprocity.
The president made hi first rear plat
form speech at Alliance to a crowd which
members of his party estimated at l.XV '
He preached prosperity and said In part:
"Prosperity Is the first thing that we
all should seek, because It means happi
ness to everybody. We may have a pros
pertly that la merely specious. W may,
have our mills running to the full, and
yet there may be something of corrup.
tlon In society and in the violation of
law through trusts and combinations and
discriminations of railways that make
that prosperity one that really doe no
help us In tlie end.
"But, omitting that, and assuming that
everybody Is obeying the law and w
are trying to make them obey th law
it I prosperity and business that wa
should look to. and the agitation that
creates a lack ot confidence among those
who have capital Invested 1 not for the
geod of the people. Therefore, what we
want Ir, as far as we fun. to have the
quiet confidence that makes everybody
look after his own business and put a
much money In It as he can, and than
job will be many, wage wilt go up, we
will all hav money to buy shoe for our
children and those ot us that lack com
fort can enjoy It. )
"What I would press on you. and what
I would press on myself, Is th necessity
for .Inspiring confidence in our govern
ment. It Is wise that w should not cui
tlvat hostility between classes, between
persons similarly situated, but we should
11 have confidence In each other because
w ara in tbe same boat. If w hare
prosperity, then It Is the poorest man
that gets tbe best out of It. When we
don't have prosperity, the- rich carv ba
comfortable still, but It Is tha poor man
that suffers."
Believes la Kaoaab Tariff.
MANaFlELD. ., March l-"Don t let
th lion tamer get you," shouted a man
In th crowd at Canton, when too presi
dent finished speaking. Th crowd
laughed and Mr. Taft smiled broadly, but
bald nothUig.
'We do not believe In high tariff." the
president said at Canton, "but we be
hove in tariff enough to preserve our
industries and give them a living profit,
a that they csa pay good w'ags and
that we can all be happy."
