Roosevelt, in the presence of Senator
Dolliver and Representative Hubbard, of
Iowa, today made his first public utter
ance regarding the administration of
President Taft. He Endorsed the Presi-
dents suggestions for a tariff commits
sion and complimented him upon his
negotiations with foreign countries to
bring about tariff agreements.
1t was made known that this COM
mendation of the President was pur-
posely given within 'insurgent" terri
tory, and that both Senator Dolliver
and Mr.. Hubbard knew in advance tina
Colonel Roosevelt was to say what he
! said, and approved 1t, although they
were not consulted by the colonel about
his reference to themselves.
The ~colonel's private car was moved
on a siding into Mizzou Park here,
where a large assemblage was in wait
ing to hear him.
The colonel's speech was as follows:
Pleased with Letter.
II was particularly pleased with what
the President said in his last letter on
the subject of the tariff commission. A
number of senators and congressman
have for some years advocated this as
the proper method of dealing with the
tariff, and 1 am glad that the country
seems now to have definitely awakened
to the idea that a tariff commission
offers the only solution of the problem
which Is both rational and insures the
absence of jobbery. The President
from the beginning advocted this COM
mission. I call your attention to the
fact the amendment proposing to pro-
vide for such a commission in the orig
inal bill when the tariff bill was un-
der consideration In the Senate was in
troduced by your own senator, here
present-Senatoi Dolliver.
at was a characteristic act of serv-
ice to the people on the senator's part,
and I wish to. take this opportunity OF
saying that throughout my term as
president on every important question
1t was my privilege to stand shoulder
to shoulder with Senator Dolllver. Let
me add, my friends, that what L have
said of Senator Dolliver. I "a also say
of you congressman-Mr. Hubbard.
"a word here for my friend Con-
gresham Martin, although he is mol
from Iowa, but from South Dakota,
He also was a man who absolutely
stood by me on every point throughout
my term and with whom l was able
| to work in hearty sympathy for every
progressive policy. All three of these
men 1 found after trying them oui
stood without %hitching.' Perhaps tina
smile suits South Dakota better thar
Iowa, where l should say that they
