. Confident Jn Final Test
,'i think that when we get stripped
for the fight and get Into the 'arena
with only two antagonists, and their
parties are drawn up on each side,; we
shall be able to show a warrant for
our continuance In power." This is the
keynote , of Taft's speech here today
before the republican editors before
he left for Akron.
' - Admits "Loneliness." ,-,'
Referring to himself, Taft said:
Sometimes it Is lonely at Washington
because I feel it hard to bring out to
those really Interested and who have
a right to know, the real reason why
some things are done and why certain
things are not done.'; There are those
who, in doing things; are afcle to make
so clear the right they are upholding,
that they don't feel the lack of a gen
eral spVead of information on such a
wbject. But I; am not one of these,
I have lacked the knowledge that you
cannot hammer a thing into the peo
ple too often, that- reiteration is the
thing that tells in spreading any doc
trine." v..-;.' ': - 'Si;''" ' '

The vicinity of the cathedral was
roped off entirely an hour before the

procession of 150 of the clergy wonded
its way to the cathedral and a throng

Cardinal Gibbons presided at . the
ceremony. Mgr. John J. McCort, vicar
general of the archdiocese,' officiated
as assistant priest. . Bishop Canevin
of Pittsburg delivered the sermon, and
the students of St. Charles Borromeo
seminary furnished the music.
When the new archbishop had re
newed his oath of allegiance arid fidel
ity to the holy see, Cardinal Gibbons
rose from his seat, and, lifting the
pallium from the altar,, laid it upon
the shoulders of the archbishop. As
Boon as the declaration of the cardinal
was made investing the pallium, Arch
bishop Prendergast ascended to the
altar and pronounced (he papal bene
