Taft Praises Irish in Chicago St Patrick Banquet Speech
William H Taft praised Irish Americans for their contributions to the United States in a Chicago St Patrick Day banquet address. He said Irish have blended with American life, softened wit, added tenderness, and supported constitutional government, while opposing hostility to reform. He noted Irish Americans value liberty and avoid radical change. The speech followed a day when Taft narrowly escaped a car collision en route to the event. The column also promotes Doan’s Kidney Pills with testimonies from Marshall residents and a national advertising push.
