TAFT IS ABUSED
BY PROF. LAUGHLIN

DIES MONIES. Iowa. June 16.-'He IS
weak in moral courage and listens to
the voices OF the selfish interests" de-
clared Prof J. Laurence Laughlin, Of
the University OF Chicago, in an attack
on President Taft. which utterance has
created comment in the heart Of the in
surgent territory here today.
The professor from the "oiI' college,
addressing the graduates at Drake Uni
versity, referred 10 Theodore Roosevelt
and compared his Administration with
that OF Tart. to the detriment Of the
latter
Prof. Laughlin at no time mentioned
the President by name but made clear
who he meant.
Roosevelt" he said, won the hearts
Of the people by taking them into his
confidence, by staining out strongly
against selfish and corrupting interests.
and by aligning b. NSelf with the people
on all questions. y. ecial interests had
nc voice in his at-l. aistration.
THE other n sis IS a man who
stands out in sh,.p o Jntrast- Possibly
mo greater ODpOrl-.-,y for leadership

COMMITTEE DEMAND

and as many Californians, sat in the
corridor outside the committee room
anxiously awaiting the result Of the
meeting. General EstopinaI was quick
10 meet the emergency and authorized
his friend 70 say that New Orleans
would be delighted TO raise $3.50, 900.
After a careful consideration OF all
the points involved the committee
came 10 the conclusion that il had no
authority 70 designate the city that
should hold the exposition, but that
it had a right 10 say that any city
which raised a sufficient amount of
money 10 guarantee the proper con-
duct of an exposition had q right 10
the committees sanction to com
municate its intentions to foreign
governments and ask those govern
ments-to send representative and ex-
hibits.
The real test will come next De-
cember. when the Committee on In
dustrial Arts and Expeditions passes
upon the matter. The composition of
that committee is such as to make
the outlook rather favorable to New
Orleans, since most OF the members
are from the Middle West, a section
Of the country that will profit BY an
exposition in the Crescent City.
General EstOpinal today expressed
himself as satisfied with the action OF

In spite Of the reluctance on the part
of members Of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee to admit that the prize fight had
anything 10 do with the committee
action il Is suspected that il welded no
little influence on certain members.
The general impression that the tele-
gram sent by Representative Bennett OF
New York to San Francisco, in which
the New Yorker said that the stir over
the fight was detrimental to San Fran
cisco's interests, was wholly the cause
of Governor Gillett's action is questioned
by persons thoroughly familiar with
conditions in California
Mr.. Bennett said today that he sent
the telegram after receiving a letter
from William R Wheeler, former AS
siStant Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor. and at present an associate
member With Mr.. Bennett on the Immf-
grafton Commission. The New York
Congressman said he did rot wire that
the fight was influencing Congress. but
that il was influencing The country
against San Francisco.

And Mr.. Sherman's middle name is

didn't learn about politics while he was
in the House could be described in
mighty few words. He knows Il all.
Ii might be said that Mr.. Watson and
Mr. Sherman, upon emerging from the
White House, said they had not been
able TO talk TO the President as Mr..
Taft had other more pressing business.
But they We're inside a long time, and
Mr. Watson semi-offcially stated that
there were no seashells in the Executive
OFFICES.
Wherefore. it is inferred that some
thing Of import was said and that the
coming campaign viii bear the mark OF
the advice Of Mr.. Watson, the deep-sea
diver, and Mr.. Sherman. whose middle
name is SchoOlcraft.
