TAFT POLICIES AND
CONDUCT SHOCK
TO ROOSEVELT
Gibson Gardner Says the Enemies Of
Progress Hold the Fort and Roose-

Been Betrayed.
Administration Is Reactionary and
my Policies" Are Deep in the
Ditch for Sure.
sy OLSON GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Today
VIM. II. Taft enters upon the second
month o. his presidency. The first
month. summed up, has been big with
promise for some and allied with bit
ter disappointment for others.
During the month TAFT has lost the
confidence OF Roosevelt and OF the
loyal Roosevelt following.
Losing that. he has lost what made
him president
II was upon the Roosevelt guarantee
that the people OF the country accept
ed Taft. IL was Rooseveits judgment
that Taft was the best man to carry
on the Roosevelt policies that made
the nomination of Taft possible.
Since Nov. the policy and con-
duct OF Taft have been one unbroken
series OF shocks TO Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt legions-the men trained In
the tactics OF my policies"
Taft's appointments and his policies
his cabinet and his official acts--and,
incidentally his Affiliations. political.
personal and legislative, have compeli-
ed the Roosevelt following and indorse-
ment to be withdrawn.
In making this statement ! do not
assume tn speak for Mr.. Roosevelt. |
do not speak from any inside knowi-
edge as TO Mr.. Roosevelts views.
speak for myself what ! believe or
know TO be facts.
Had 1t been known, a year ago,
what appointments Taft would make.
and what policies he would pursue. he
never would have received the nc
publican nomination, and never would
have been elected president"
In substantially these lords the
New York Evening Post has stated
editorially, a thought which has lain
unspoken In many minds.
Such are the facts. Had Roosevelt
known, or for one moment suspected.
what would be the general line Oh
action followed by the present occu.
cant OF the White House. he would
have thrown his influence to Hughes
on 70 LaFollette sooner than ASSIST
Taft TO the presidency.
Taft has been q bitter disappoint'
ment. And to none has the cup been
more bitter than to the man VINO so
lected Taft to carry on the poncies
which have become associated with the
name OF Roosevelt.
Business Interests Dominate.
The Taft administration is "reac'
tionary." 49,

vas to keep the national government
true To the best interests OF the peo-
PIE as distinguished from the priviies-
ed class that Roosevelt used MS In
fuence in naming his successor,
From the very beginning the TAFT
administration has given constant COM
fort to the enemies Of Roosevelt; that
comfort may be seen In tangible FORM
each day. Hartman has won. Rocke-

Spring has come.
Let there be no doubt OF that for
