Colonel Roosevelt in the presence of
Senator Dolliver and Representative
Hubbard, of Iowa, today made the trsr
public utterance regarding the admin
istration of President Taft He en-
dorsed the presidents suggestions for
a tariff commission and complimented
him upon his negotiations with foreign
countries to bring about tariff agree
ments.
This commentator of the president
was made in the course Of his speech
ut Mizzou park, and it was made
known that 1t was purposely given
within "insurgent" territory, and that
both Dolliver and Hubbard knew In
advance Roosevelt was to say what he
paid and approved 1t, altho they were
not consulted by the colonel about his
reference to themselves.
Delivers Work is Lauded.
Roosevelt declared that the presi-
dent from the beginning advocated a
tariff Commission, and, he said, Dol
liver was the one who introduced in the
senate an amendment tosthe tariff bill
providing for such commission. He took
advantage Of the opportunity to tell
his hearers that turnout his term as
president, on every important question
it was his privilege to stand shoulder
TO shoulder with Dolliver.
LET me add. my friends" said Roos-
evelt, that what have said of Dol
liver, can also say Of your congress-
man, Hubbard"
He included Congressman Martin, OF
South Dakota, among those who stood
by him thruout his term and was In
hearty sympathy with every progress
sive policy. 1t was only after a bitter
fight that the friends of the commits
sion idea got the proposition thru con-
gress. The establishment of the COM
mission, he said. was an excellent be-
ginning, but 1t should be enlarged. and
There are number of necessary
changes to make it more effective.
Another Good Feature.
"There Is another feature" continued
Roosevelt, "of the tariff law which is
admirable and points our course in the
right d1rectiSa. the maximum and
minimum provision. And here again
I wish to point out the value of the
provision has depended largely upon
the excellent work done by the admin
lstration in negotiations with foreign
powers for its application, especially
negotiations with Canada, which were
the most difficult of all. In addition
1t was Of very real Importance to pro-
vide, as the present tariff does provide
for the proper trea tment of the Philip
pines"
Mayor Smith introduced the colonel
TO the people OF Iowa. There was a
great demonstration as Roosevelt pro-
ceeded with his remarks.
Takes Fling at Barnes.
Roosevelt read with interest today
the statement issued by William
Barnes, Jr., of Albany. criticising him
for his western speeches, which,
BARNES said, "Have startled all
thoughtful men and impressed them
with the danger which lies in his po-
litical ascendancy."
81 think there is something perfect
w delicious" said Roosevelt. Gin the
Idea of Barnes flying to the defense Of
the supreme court and Righteousness"
On the way from Omaha to Sioux
city Roosevelt made brief speech at
Onawa, Iowa.
From the standpoint of Iowa
politics, the feature of the man.
moth Roosevelt meeting was Roose-
velt's enthusiastic endorsement OF
Senator Dolliver and Congressman
Hubbard and their appearance on the
same speaking platform with him.
Roosevelt told the 10000 people who
crowded the park that in his expert
ence with Dolliver and Hubbard in
congress, ne had found them to be
men who could stand without hitching,
and, further than that. "They never
would kick over the pail"
