ALL FORMER EFFORTS OUTDONE
After "Talking Through Georgia,"
Making a Half Dozen Speeches, the
President-Elect is Greeted at the
Georgia Capital in True Atlanta
Style.
Atlanta, Ga., Special.-President
elect William: H. Taft was Friday in
the cordial and hospitable embrace of
Georgia. Recognizing the climax of
the varied and continuous demonstra
tions in the brilliant and imposing
scene presented at the banquet here
he exclaimed with evidences of great
feeling:
"I had not hoped to win the South,
but the South has won me."
The banquet was the most am
bitious event of its kind the city bas
ever undertaken. Though partici
pated in by more than 500 of the
city's representative men, it was
gloried in by the entire population.
It, and the preceding eloquence of
welcome extended to Mr. Taft in his
reception at the Capitol and at the
Piedmont Hotel, where he was sought
by thousands^constitute a brilliant
chapter in his record of achievements
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Talks Along the Way.
"Talking through Georgia" is a
literal description of his trip from.
Augusta to Atlanta. And whereover
the special train, which Atlanta pro
vided, came to a halt there were
cheering crowds evidencing their cor
diality hy floral tributes, by cheers,
bands and speeches in which the
President-elect was told that he was
respected, admired, loved*
A little bunch of violets plucked
from the grave of Alexander Steph
ens and presented by a grandniece of
the distinguished Georgian, touched a
tender cord and brought forth a
warm tribute to the memory of
Stephens at Cr&wfordsville.
The young men of Emory College
were cheered on their 0&y at Coving
ton and the girl students of Agnes
Scott Institute at Decatur were ad
dressed as "My Girl Friends", and
talked to pleasantly. When Mayor
Butler, of Madison, predicted "a
term of eight years for Taft" the; big
Ohioan responded by saying he hoped
the mayor was a true prophet.
Atlanta's welcome to Mr. Taft be
gan in the railroad ya/ds where all
locomotives tied open their whistles
and ceased oQfo when he had retired
for the night at his hotel. Thousands
were at the station, thousands fol
lowed him through the streets as he
was drawn by four cream-colored
horses to the Capitol. Governor
Smith and a committee of seventy
gave him a formal reception, after
which the Governor presented him to
the tremendous crowd and Mr. Taft
once more voiced his i-eciprocity of
cordality and good feeling at his re
ception. He was at once escorted by
a squad of mour.ted police to the
Piedmont Hotel, where he was ten
dered a re?eptiou by the chamber of
commerce, the Ohio Society and Yale
alumni.
Governor-elect Brown came with
Mr. Taft, Governor Smith received
him and the officials of the city and
State generally participated in his
welcome.
The features of the banquet includ
ed not only the striking appearance
of the high, pillared room, with its
white walls, and flag scheme of dec
orations, but a quaint programme of
old-time negro songs illustrating the
days, sung as solos by preachers, doc
tors and judees.
The tables were the streamers of
two huge flags, the field cf each being
formed hy the speakers' table set be
fore a forest of palms and ferns. Di
reotlv behind the guest of honor was
an electric flag which not only waved
but flashed forth a likeness of Mr.
Taft when the President-elect arose
to speak.
A "Billy 'Possum."
After the 'possum, 'taters and
'simmon bear had been served, and
the many other courses of the feast,
tho guests, led by the Orchestra, broke
into song. Judge Taft joined heartily
in tho merriment. He was presented
with a "billy 'possum" constructed
after the manner of the "teddy
bear" to be the emblem of his admin
istration.
He was also made the recipient of
a silver pfeket water flask, bearinT
the coat of arms of Georgia, the gift
of Mrs. James Longstreet.
What was taken as the most lasting
and satisfactory feature of Mr.
Taft's speech was his expressed de
sire to appoint to Federal positions
in the South only such men ns stand
high as citizens in the localities in
which they live.
Mr. Taft said with feeling that he
was proud to have been the first Re
publican candidate for the presidency
who had carried his canvass south
of Mason and Dixon's line.
In concluding Mr. Taft said:
"I beg those of my hearers who
differ with me politically not to sup
pose that their cordiality and
courteous reception are misunder
stood br me. I know that they
spring ? ' a an earnest and patriotic
desire to >ay proper respect to the
great of' to which I have been
elected, that they grow out of
a sincere ;h and proper assumption
that hav been elected to the chief
magistrr. . I shall become the Presi
dent, nr M fa party but of a wholp
united people."

House.
For a time in the House of Repref
entatives it looked as though thc
body would further resent the Pres
dent's statements affecting membei
of Congress and the secret service, b
ordering the printing of two millio
copies of the proceedings of last Fr
day tabling his remarks. A resolt
tibn to that end was presented by M:
Landis, of Indiana, but so strong wa
the sentiment against it that it wa
tabled.
The District of Columbia appn
priation bill was passed, minns tb
major part of the appropriation c

dent and Speaker of the House t
$20,000, with $5,000 additional allow
ance for carriages and coachman fo
the Vice President and Speaker an
increases for the judiciary aggregat
ing $328.000, precipitated a lively dis
cussion in the Senate Friday.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, made,
point of order against these increase
.on the legislation, which accord in
to the rules of *H Senate cannot b
placed, on an appropriation bill i
face of a single objection. The-, dc
bate centered upon the first of th
amendments objected to which was fc
increase the salary of the Speaker o
the House of Representatives am
various criticisms were called fort]
against such extensive advances o
salaries, although many Senator
without opposing some increase in
sisted that it should bc considered ii
a separate bill and not on one of th*
great supply measures of the govern
ment.
Without concluding the debate fur
ther consideration of the amendment:
was postponed until next Monday an(
at 5:05 the Senate adjourned.

occasioned a good deal of debate
which attimes waxed warm.
At 5:08 p. m. the House adjourned
In discussing the increase of lhi
salaries, Senator Clay said:
"If the President were called upoi
to pay all these expenses," said Mr
Clay, "$200,000 a year would not b
too much."
The President, he said, should havi
enough salary to live in dignity, bu
he was convinced that sumptuou:
living would not redound to the bene
fit of the country.
"The simple life." he said, "plaii
living and high thinking, brings th?
best results."
Senator Culberson stated that h?
proposed at the proper time to offei
an amendment making the Speaker's
salary $18,000, which would make i
equa? to that of the Chief Justice oJ
tho Supreme Court of the United

been greater.
Senator Hetrienway declared thai
whether right or wrong a custom hac

the Speaker of the House of Repres

vision is made for paying any ol
their expenses, as is the case with (h(
