It Is not often that a Democratic congressman devotes de-votes the time alloted him for a political poli-tical address to unstinted praise of a Republican leader This, however, was the tribute which Congiessnmn- ' elect Martin W Litlleton paid to President Pres-ident Taft here last night in speaking baforo iho Manufacturers' -association I of New York Hrs subject was "The New Statesmanship." "There are two things the Presi- ' dent of the United States has done," said Mr. Littleton, "that will give him a high placo in American history. In the first place he had the courage, which no other president that I know , of ever had, to appoint an ex-Confedei-ate soldier to the chief seat in tho supreme court of the United States. "He also had the courage to submit sub-mit the doctrine of reciprocity with ' Canada, a step which may have con- ; founded tho counsels of his party. But the American people understand it and they will support him. He has proved Uiat he knew no North or South. East or West, but conceived that our flag represented tho en-tiro en-tiro nation." |
