Washington. April william
Randolph Hearst former aspirant FOR
the democratic nomination for the
presidency tonight issued remark
able statement over his own signature
in which he unaualiiiedly endorses Mr.
TAFT
In doing so he also criticisas In
severest terms the administration o,
President Roosevelt and in so many
words warns the American nation
aeainst renewal of the political
domination of the former president
Mr. Hearst called az the Whit
House this afternoon. lie spent half
an hour with the president Upon
leaving Mr. Hearst said he had called
merely 20 pay his respects To Mr.
raft, whom he said he admired.
Later he issued his endorsement OF
the TnGt administration.
NO one can talk with the prcsi-
dent without apprceiating aud re-
speeting his carncstncss and sin
ccritN, the statement proceeds Per

lie hats been one year IN office and
he has certainly accomplished more
in thgt one wear than Roosevelt did
in his FIRST year,
1T is hardly fnir to compare Mr.

and yet | am not sure that even with
that the comparison might not be to
Talt's advantage Tafts methods are
not those OF Roosevelt. and then Tart

Mr. Hearst admits that be does not
charge Mr Roosevelt With direct re-
sponsihility for the panic or 1907, nor
does he undertake To give Mr. Tart
the entire credit Of the restoration Of

been an utter farce and everybody
who knew anything about the sub

was farce ana would be a failure, II

"Atany rate Mr Hepburn the man

Mr Hearst says that President Taft

Dee Roosevelt administration. He
gives Mr.. TAFT credit for the prosccu-
ion of criminal trusts and for throw
ng his powerful influence behind
many needed laws. among them the
corporation tux bin. the over capitai-
alton bill. a bill providing for pos
al savings banks, the parcels post
measure and the income tax bin.
