TAFT BEGINNING TO REALIZE
RECIPROCITY is UNPOPULAR

President Taft himself Is concerned.
the tariff will be the main issues of the
1912 campaign. While the president
will speak on many subjects on his
western trip, 1t Is certain now that
tariff revision will receive most of his
attention.
Following his speech to the Essex
County Republican club at Hamilton
on Saturday, the president began to-
day to prepare other speeches on the
tariff. He obtained copies of his veto
message on the wool, farmers free-list
and cotton bills and at once set to
work upon addresses that he expects
to deliver later backing up those
vetoes.
Mr.. Taft Is said to realize that he
must not merely defend himself for
having rejected these bills. but that
he must attack the democrats and
progressive republicans who put them
through congress. The attack upon
the democrats. the president can make
almost anywhere.

president will carry the war west into

The nature of attack Is pretty
clearly defined already-it will be in
substance that the progressive who
voted for tariff board should have
been willing to wait for its report;
that the revision bills the democrats
and insurgents drew at these special
sessions Were "ill considered" and
badly drawn" and that great indus
