President Taft In an address before the Ohio so ciety of Washington last night point ed out that the dominating power of the eastern states In congress lies in the fact that they keep men in office when they place them there. He con trasted the Influence of the east in legislative work with that of the west. ' "Why is, it." asked the president, "the urn all states of the east exercise so much power in congress? It is not because an eastern man has any more capacity in the matter of legls 'latlon than western man. It Is be cuse when the eastern states get a good representative they keep him as long as he lives and then he has an Influence that vastly exceeds the mere numerical representation pf popula tion. "I don't know whether this Is quite germane to the subject of this occa sion, but it occurs to me to say this because I fool as though we are all Interested In having Ohio make her self felt In the legislation of this coun ty by adopting a system that will cer tainly bring about the weight she Is entitled to."
