TAFT’S CAMPAIGN WILL BE BASED ON FACTS.

President Reviews the Achievements of the Administration In Speeches In Home State. Columbus, 0., Jan. 30. —Reviewing the achievements of his administration before the Columbus Glee club here tonight, President Taft drew the line sharply between the old line republicans and the progressives of his party and practically declared that th© time was at hand when the “denunciation” of the progressives must cease and when the nation will demand facts. He had not the slightest doubt, he said, that the. republican party would win out in the November elections. The president made one of the most aggressive speeches he has delivered in many months. He made it clear to his hearers that he had grown impatient with the attacks that have been made upon the Republican party and upon his administration in the last few years. He declared that the old line republicans were progressive, progressive enough to adopt all the legislation that progress demanded, but said that he was not the sort of man to promise to “make a heaven on earth” or to “reform the world in a day.” He said that in his mind, there were three reasons why the party should be returned to power next November. One was that it had “done reasonably and fairly well” in its administration of the government in the last few years and deserved the continued confidence of the country; the second was that it was and would put in operation all the necessary legislation that is progressive.” The third was that the party was not “chasing chimeras and not unsettling the foundations of government merely to indulge in the fancies of hope.” The president’s political speech came as a surprise to many of his auditors who listened repectfully when he began, reviewing in narrative fashion his knowledge of McKinley. From the fornler prasident, However, he switched suddenly into a discussion of present day politics and the singers cheering him wildly when he said, “I believe th at the republican party is going to be successful, in November, 1912, and I believe it thoroughly and sincere and without any mental reservation whatever and I believe because I have faith in the intelligence and discrimination of the American people. I believe that they know what good service is. “I believe that they haveintelligence and discrimination enough to enable the party organization through the press and through political speak--ers- in the campaign of education that is eonatagto eouvince them that the service of the past four years has been such that they can trust it for the next four years. “A campaign is four months long. It seems like four years but every voter who his been put on the qui vive will have his interest aroused and will know the candidate accurately and will have been given a fair opportunity in that time to judge which party offers the better of the argument.” From his optimistic look into the future the president turned to the past and the ptesent and his voice, husky as it was, rose to a higher pitch. He spoke of the democratic victory at the polls in 1910 and declared that this was not the fault of the Republican party, but of disaffection within its ranks. “Who are the. persons who are going up and down the land distributing these views? Whose lungs havebeen used for years in condemnation and denunciation? "Now I think we are getting to the point where we are to get Our Innings. *We’ll deal not in prophecies and not in unfounded denunciation but with facts. Let ns get down to facts and then if they beat us on the truth we’ll take our beating. But let us have a square hearing and a square deal and ask them to brush aside the fogs of denunciation.” Mr. Taft said that it made him impatient to hear people talk about the way his administration had enforced the anti-trust law. "I am glad I came here. I had an impression that you don’t know in Ohio that you had a president from Ohio bt if you did you soon to forget it But Em glad I came here to hear this glee club encourage its candidate. You could have another candidate more eloquent and more forceful who could lead you on with the more Impressionable leadership, but you couldn’t have one more deeply appreciative of the kindness, and

Lecture Course Announcement

The third number of the Lecture Course will be given Monday evening, Feb. sth, by H. V. Adams. The committee feels that in presenting Mr. Adams to the people of*Rensselaer, they have a man who will please as well as benefit the people. It seems that no stronger testimonial can be given for him than the one given below, which is ascribed to L. B. Wickersham, the man who pleased everybody last year. Des Moines, lowa.—lf a man should ask me to name a man who would please all, entertain all and edify all and one who would leave the whole community admiring a manly man and saying nothing but good words for the Lyceum movement, ,1 should say, “Get H. V. Adams.” I will class him as the “all-round man.” I am fully conscious that the above are strong words, but ten years of acquaintance explain why I use them and go thus on record.—L. B. Wickersham. People have taken a great interest in the Lecture Course this year and judging from the audience present at the John Eberly Concert Jan. 24th, a large crowd will greet Mr. Adams Monday evening. The lecture will begin at 8:15. Admission 35 cents. t - ■ Try our Brazil Block coal. It is a superiorgrade. HAMILTON & KELLNER.
