TEDDY OUT WITH TAFT
THE NEW PRESIDENT is NOT
KEEPING THE NOISY PACE
MADE FOR HIM.

WASHINGTON.-''President Taft
has betrayed Rooseve1t's confidence
He is not living up to his prediction
,romfses in any sense of the word. ;"
This is the cry now going up from
fo1Iowers of Theodore Roosevelt. 1t
was not unexpected. In fact, the
democrats have been waiting for it's
appearance. They knew it was only
question of time until it would
come. They predicted long before
election that Taft wouldn't be in
office two months before those who
we're responsible for his nomination
would be charging that he had gone
over to the trusts and was not Iiv-
ing up to mis- promises to Roosevelt.
Taft's appointments and his poll
cips-his cabinet and his official acts
and. incidentally his affiliations.
noliticaI, personal and legislative,
have practically resulted in the
Roosevelt Endorsement being with
drawn.
Not Pushing ''My Policies"
Roosevelt supporters say they
I have watched every move made by
I the new president since the day he
4 took office, and they have yet to OBJ
4 serve any indication of his intention
\ 10 carry out the Roosevelt my poll
4 cies.
They are declaring that had Roos-
I eyelt known the type of men Taft
u intended selecting for his cabinet he
4 never would have recommended him
to the public and secured the nomi-
nation for him, but would have
#turned his support over to Hughes
Or LaFollette.
Had it been known a year ago
what appointments Taft would make,
and what policies he would pursue,
he never would have received the
domination, and never would have
been elected president"
This editorial view of the New
York Evening Post is endorsed by
ROOseyelts closest friends here in
Washington. The democrats have
expected this view so long, and knew
that it was so certain to come, that
now that the Taft deceived Roose-
Eelt' cry is actually here it makes
hem smile. They point out that the
admission is too late to be of any
aue to the people, as the election
over and Taft has four years resi-
Fence in the white house ahead of
him.
The MOney-GOds in Saddle.
Between their lamentations Roose-
etS followers direct attention to a
situation that has for some time been
vdent to close observe rs-that the
aft administration has given con-
ant comfort to the enemies of
OOseyelt and that Hartman, Rock
eller and Morgan are in the saddle.
They charge that Taft showed his
allegiance to Rockefeller by appoint
g Charles Nagle, attorney for the
aterS-Pierce (Standard) Oil Co.,
Fad of the department in which is
cated the bureau of corporations.
They say that to please ]. Pierpont
organ Taft appointed as attorney
8neral to administer the laws, Nor
MS personal attorney, George c.
Ckersham.
Other Wall Street Men.
For the other members of his cab
et Taft has selected men, who, it
charged, are entirely satisfacry to
interests which controlled the ap-
mtmentS referred to. With these
pointments safe the vested privi-
yes are different, it is averred. The
E h. soI,
andes prosecutions is the thing that
.0nted most. Of this Wall street
1uence is once more in control.

ends are correct in their sur
