I 'ii ' w Atlanth, Jan. 16.—President-elect Taft attended a big banquet in At lanta Friday night, given In. his hon or. ' Judge Taft had given care to the preparation of his banquet speech, regaining it as his important utterance of the day, and in Us de livery he followed his manuscript closely. ^ Mr. Taft said with feeling that he was proud to have been the first revolution candidate for the Presi dency who had carried* his canvas south of Mason’s and Dixon’s line. ‘Tn the presence of Democrats ami Republicans here at a non-partisan banquet expressing the welcome oi the whole dbihttiUTSTty, it would nehh-. er be courteous nor appropriate for me to go Into a partisan discussion, Mr. Taft, continued. “I can on’y refer to the fact with gratification’ and congratuIatTbfi that today the expression of any political views in the South Is possible without in volving social ostriclsm or any of tin penalties with which It might hav- been visited }n earlier times. Ton .years have made a great d'fference in the situation which the controll ing people of the South occupy to wards the North and the govern ment.” The President-elect then wummar- Ized the causes which had worker' and were affecting the change—ti.r Spanish war;, the. attitude of Me . Klnley, his lovable character and the principles he stood for In his cam paign; the succession of Rooseveii with his Georgia mother; and final ly the wonderful business develop ments of the South. ‘T am a Republican but I concede fully the great advantage to the. country of having a Democratic pa’- ty sufficiently 1 powerful at times, to win the Presidential eU'ctions and always to put the Republican par^y. when In control. In fear of a pos slble or probable defeat. And so n. the South no one can deny the ad vantage that will arise in loyal and State governments when there to a substantial and intelligent nrnoritj. which may become a success!ul ma Jqyity in punishment of the abur.e^ that are lljteiy to grow out ’of tin long continued and undlspuied con trol oi oiio^ party. Added to that, the uncertainty which may attend tin result of national elections in a State Is certain to give. It additional im portance to the councils of the na Uon. ”1 observe that among some prom inent members of congress there is a disposition to charge me with an attempt to win the South over t. Republicanism and a somewhat con temptuous expression of opinion that this is utterly Impossible. To them I would say that I am not hopefn' of winning the South over as they say, but that the South has s T ceeded in winning me. ‘‘1/ my coming has been partisan no such meeting as this tonight would have been possible, and so I may say of all the receptions anl expressions of good will and weleorn that I have received from point t< point throughout the Southern coun try. The very success of my trip the very reason why it ^gives m^ st much satisfaction, fS the prbhoiirm.-d non-partisan character of tl,e we come which has been so kindly ex tended to me. ‘‘Now if this indirectly makes, m> for a partisan advantage, but for r continuance of the movement in f' vor of Independence qf spec_■ ti ab action and itylitical tolerance iti result is one that all citizens of wha. ever political party must rejoice t< have brought about. *‘Th« direct local effeef of h n’ ional administration upon the South Is chiefly through their functions through the -section, and thoreforv the expression of the Adminis'T.i- tion tfward the Southern peopl takes its color In the character uf those officials, and there the admin istration may be properly held a» v countable and Us policies diteimin ed by the qualifications fitness and standing of the men appo.uted h represent It In the dist-lots and States of the section.

Steven son, Democratic candidate for gov ernor. An approximate total of 50,000 votes more than are shown* by the election returns is claimed by Mr Stevenson in his petition to the gen eral assembly today. In the 93 counties cited l<y the petition as showing irregularities, 65 are al leged to have made wrong returns by the alleged sim/ple means of counting for Depeen votes whleu were cast for Stevenson. * In 28 others, if Is charged, in ad- Jitlon, either that persons not nat uralised or persons not residents of tho county, or both, voted for Gov ernor Chkrles S.

The county which appears froi-i the petition to have countenanced the greatest amount of illegality of all sorts is Cook (Chicago), (al though extensive frauds also are charged in other counties. - .. able to discharge their duties well, and whose presence in important liositlons will remove, if any such thing exists, the sense of alienism in the government which th.-y repre sent.” He said that the work of the next administration is to be jr work of creation and constructioa. * “jOT course, the imm'‘diate great work of the adminlstratio.i must be he revision of the tariff,’ he said “In that work the South is quite as much interested as the North, and wpuld have an honest ami genuine,, TBvislon such as* 1 has been promised by the party in power.’’ He gave assurance to th*’ Southern people that “no interest of tfio South, whether It share that interest with the North;--or whether »t has a peculiar interest of its own, wiii be neglected in the conducl of the government in so far as that conduct shall be under the control of its Chief Executive.” in concluding. ,+Mr. Taft said: T beg of those of my hearers who differ with me politically not to sup- lauee that their cordiality and courte ous reception are misunderstood by me. 1 know that they spring from an earnest and patriotic <1 os ire, to pay proper respect to the g’-eat of fice to which 1 have been elected, and that they grow out of a sincere wish and proper assumption, that having been ehn-ted to the Chief Magistracy, I shall become the Prqa- fdent, not of a party, but of a whol- united people.’’ - . * Document Not Characterized by Ua- usual Vigor But Many Improve- Necessitfcs in Legislation and Pub lic Affairs.
