Kansas City, July Ex-senator
Joseph L. Bristow, the "insurgent." in
a speech here this afternoon pro-
nounced Speaker Cannon poor judge
of rubber. Speaker Cannon at Burlin-
game yesterday, replying to a former
speech of Senator Bristows said the
senator had either "willfully Know
ingly or ignorantly" misrepresented the
facts when he said that the increased
duty on manufactured rubber had re-
suited in a lamentable increase in the
importations of that commodity.
The senator, Mr.. Cannon said, liked
to brand everybody who disagreed with
him as dishonest, and that these re-
marks on rubber gave him a chance
to accuse Mr.. Aldrich of being mem
ber of the rubber trust.
"Mr. Cannon" said Mr.. Bristow this
afternoon. "forgets that there is rup4
Der and rubber. When he says that the
Increased duties on manufactured rub
Der did not result in decrease in i'm
portation he would seem to refer only to
hard rubber, the kind that is sometimes
used in making rules. Let the speak
er look up the rubber question and he
will find that there are several kinds
of elastic or soft rubber to which my
statements apply exactly.
'.I am told that Speaker Cannon said
that he did not know that Senator
Aldrich organized a trust. In my Win
field address I set forth facts as con-
tained in official documents in Poor's
manuel and in the Wall Street Jour
nal, which are considered reliable au-
thority by every busines man in this
country. Whether or not Senator AL
drich Is guilty of a technical viola
tion of the statutes I do not know. It
is the duty of the Attorney General of
the United States to investigate vio-
lations of the Sherman antitrust laws.
But 1 do know he Is guilty of the vio-
lation of public decency, of political
honesty.
"It would have been better taste for
Speaker Cannon to demand that his
committee of representatives stand by
the House tariff schedule than to ask
them to. stand for the Aldrich sched-

Taft Visits The Northeast

his speeches here and at Bangor, Rock

moral effect.
The Mayflower, with President Taft on
board, steamed into Eastport harbor
shortly after p. M and was greeted by
a salute from the town gun. The presl-

When the Mayflower pointed her way
up the Luber narrows this morning
the President of the United States for
the first time in history reached the
northeast corner of the country. East
port, the home of the American
sardine industry. was appropriately ex-
cited over the occasion. Flags and bunt-
ing were displayed from all the buildings
along the water front and the entire
populace, augmented by country folk,
who came from nearby points was early
astir.
Tho Mayflower was not due to arrive
until II o'clock but Water street and
the docks overlooking the harbor were
thronged by o'clock
From the moment the Mayflower left
the wireless stations along the north
coast and all the ships carrying wireless
apparatus within radius of hundreds
of miles. The navy operators aboard
the Presidents yacht. however. would not
accept any but official messages and sent
ont notices to all other operators to
please cease attempts at communication
with the yacht.
Official messages kept the Mayflower' s
operators busy all night The yacht
arrived off Eastport early this morning
but loitered In the open sea while the
party breakfasted.
