Much Criticism.
Then there have been features Of
the years record that brought upon
the administration more criticism than
has ever before been leyeled at the
White House In the same length OF
time. In tn beginning popular dis
satisfaction was causd by the fact
that the cabinet was composed chief~
ly OF corporation lawyers. Great diSs
approval was manifested over the COS
operation OF President Taft with Sens
ator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon In
legislative matters. particularly the
tariff bill. He was held to be large
~ responsible for the lack OF moro
thorough revision downward, the lead-
Ing outragas being the tariff on cot-
ton and wooden goods. TRft's speeches
have contributed to his unpopulartt5s
The Boston speech endorsing eana-
tor Afdrich and the WinonA speech
praising the tariff were striking ex.
amples OF teh unpopular orAtory.
Secretary Ballinger's prompt Annuls
ment Of the Rooseyelt-Pinchnt conser-
walton policies caused resentment
against President Taft so great that
the administration reversed action.
and Mr.. Rallinger became the suhteoe
OF congressional investigation.
President Taft's action In dancinsp
a 'shake-down" at a White HOUSE
party was apparently an innocent dt-
version, but. in fact, 1t was criticised
throughout the country.
The brass band campaign agAtnsA
Nicaragua and the quiet retirement
made a bad impression.

the fact that there were Important
concessions to the railroads In the In.
