It appeared that a "keynote" speech on which tho comlna campaign, might bo fought waa being dollvared. "Looking- orer tho record of what haa been done." said tho ITealdent. "It seems to me that we are armed with the facta and with things accomplished sufficient to meet our eonay In tha pa field and to overcome him la the Judgment of an Impartial umpire It aeem to me there Is no occasion for the Republicans to fear tho Issue with their knowledge of tho progress that has been made In the last four years, wtto the adoption of progeelvo princi ples Indicated In their platform of 101 and la tho proposals of the Administra tion since that tliuaw They must.

President Tift gave a comprehensive review of his administration. By tho attention he devoted to the tariff, be Indicated his willingness to go Into t.l e campaign on that Issue alone. "Our 'democratic friends are mistak en." said the President. "Tha election of 1)1 was not a declaration In favor of a tariff for revenue or free trade. This Is shown by the fact that the democratic vote was less rather than greater than It had been In tho Presi dential election. The dot eat of tha Re publican party came not from an In. crease la Pernor ratio votes, but from a detection of Republican votea. L e.. of its own members who stayed at home and refused to stand by the party In what they regarded as a failure to redeem Ita pledgee." Beweata of Payne Law Told. Aside from the benefits which the President said were to be found In the creation of a tariff board by the Payne law. there were many others which Krew out of that law. to which the Republican party could claim credit. Among these be named the Court of Customs Appeals, with authorisation to construe tha tariff act: the maximum and minimum clause of the law which enables this country to prevent dis crimination against American trade, and the corporation tag which la bring ing many millions of revenue to the C-overtiment. The Interstate commerce act. said Mr. Taft.' had been strengthened, so that -life and effect" had been given to ordera of the Interstate Commerce Commission which the railroads could not minimise nor Ignore. A Cotr-merca Court, ha aald. was cre ated to relieve the courts In railroad rases. "I observe now." he added, "that some o the decisions of the Com merce Court have been made a basis tor a demand fr its abolition. It seema to me this would ba tha most foolish step possible." Tha Supreme Court, he pointed out. "will soon render decisions, shorn log tha exact Jurisdiction of tha Commerce Court." Mr. Taft said that Congress In mo ll enacted a safety appliance law; an employers' liability law that had atood the test in the fcupreme Court; created the postal savings bank, and had taken a forward step toward conservation. The National Monetary Commission haa reported a plan to Improve the cur rency system, a plan which, the Presi dent said, would keep the control of tha Nation's finances from the Influence of Wall street and Washington. An investigation of the proposal for a par rels post has been made, and the Postal Commission soon will send to Congress Ita Undines aa to the need of any In crease In second-class postage. Bo far as foreign policy la concerned. Mr. Taft aald. a moat satisfactory treaty with Japan, that settled a vexa tious and unpleasant question, had been ratified, and treaties with Nicaragua and Honduras that would put those countries "on their feet." and arbitra tion treatlea with Great Britain and France were before the Senate, I.A FOLLETTE TO STAY IS HACK Senator's Manager Ienies Reports of Contemplated Withdrawal.

M- Lepper presided, and called the roll. Mayor Rushlight showed maps and blueprints of Ross Island, displaying the extent of the land and the over flow since 1S7C. "If the Island Is purchased," he said, "future generations will have occasion to bless our memory for having ac quired the property. We need the tract for an Incinerator, as a place for 'city prisoners, for storage of the water plant on one of the Islands and on the main Island a park could ba established. We shall neeo a place to deposit sweepings and other material and presently there will be no place for that purpose. The island will be cen tral to both sides of the river wnen mi population shall have grown. It will be central to Mount Scott, Mount Tabor and ether East Side districts. Tou all know what objections are raised to the location of an Incinerator anywhere In the city. There were ob jections raised from all portions of the East Side when It was proposed to place an Incinerator In Sullivan's Gulch. Ross Island is the place for an In cinerator, where It will not be objec tionable to anybody. I am building a home on tha elevation near the Island, myself. "I have obtained an option on the Island, but I want to say that If the people authorize the purchase of the land it will be obtained through con demnation proceedings. I say this to satisfy any who may think that there Is a graft In the project." Mayor Rushlight answered those who said that Ross Island Is covered with water every year. The maps showed that the Islands were covered by water only In 17 and 1894. "I want to aay to the Mayor and the men here." said Rev. Albert Ehrgott, 'that I most heartily Indorse the pur chase of Ross Islanu for municipal pur poses. I believe It the right thing to do. Belle Island, at Detroit, Mich, was once the place where swine were kept, but Is now one of the most beautiful parks In the world. I believe that Portland ought to acquire Ross Island. -While on my feet, 1 want to say that it has come to me that little children are attending the Russell-Shaver school who are insufficiently fed. This should not be permitted in this city, and this club should take up the subject." The club will appoint a committee at the meeting Thursday night to In vestigate the report made by Rev. Mr. Ehrgott concerning pupils attending the school In Albina.- , Edward Newbegln moved that the business men present Indorse the pur chase of Ross Island, which was carried by a standing vote.
