Defends His judicial Decisions and
Brands a Certain Statement
as a Lie.

Columbus, O., Aug. 31.-William II.
Taft on Saturday went through Ohio,
leaving behind him trail of speeches
and political enthusiasm that will
doubtless surprise his campaign man.
ayers, as his trip from Virginia to
the Middle Bass Fishing club had been
planned to be devoid of politics. But
at Athens after delivering the speech
he had prepared for the veterans, Mr.
Taft was whlsked away to the Taft
club where, following an introduction
by Arthur !. Vorys, the candidate
spoke for 40 minutes. 1t was notice
able that the language OF this speech
was more vigorous and the manner of
the candidate more animated than
heretofore.
There Is one brief way to deal with
the story which has been circulated
that ! have said that a dollar a day
was enough for any laborlng man" )"
said Judge Taft in the midst of his
speech; "lts lie"
Judge Taft defended his judicial de-
cisions in labor cases with the state
ment that when acting as Judge he
endeavored to render judgment In ac-
cordance with the law and the facts
"and have no apologies to make"
He expressed his approval of labor
organizations.
Starting at Gallipolis in the morn
Ing, Judge Taft concluded day OF
almost continuous speech-maklng at
8 o'clock with brief talk to thou
sands at the Toledo & Ohio Central
railway station in Columbus.
Middle Bass Island, o., Aug. 31.--
William H. Taft and party arrived at
the Middle Bass club at o'clock
Sunday morning After a five hours
sleep the candidate breakfasted and
later attended services in the little
chapel. He rested throughout the re-
maInder of the day.

STREET OPENING
IS POSTPONED
CITIZENS WRANGLE
OVER THE PROPOSAL TO
EXTEND CHARlEVOix.

More than $50 citizens, men and
women, crowded into part OF the eoun.
ell chamber Thursday morning TO ex.
press their views in regard to the pro-
posed opening of CharleYoix-st. from
Elmwood-ave. TO the city limits.
The negatives gave vent To their
feelings SO forcibly that the PROPOSE
ton was taken under advisement and
will not be taken up again until late
In the fall. ?
This opening. II is estimated. would
cost about $4,000. OF which the city
at large would pay one third. The
principal objection comes from work
ing people who live on leased land In
the Eleventh and Thirteenth ward and
who want the Improvement postpon
ed until their leases run out, within g
year or so.
The people of the assessment dis
trict who live in the Fifteenth and
Seventeenth wards are anxious 70
have the street opened now.
Aid Brozo, link and Theison ar
gued that property owners whose
property would be improved by the
street opening should dedicate por
ton of the land and thus tighten the
cost. II this is not TO be done, they
will fight the opening George A
Palmer won the cheers Of the people
who want the opening by telling them
that delay would simply mean that
buildings would be erected on the
tine of the street and-the cost greatly
enhanced.

ion either way would provoke small
