President would make some reference
to the suit against the Steel Corpora
ton, he came no nearer 10 the subject
than to assert that the Chief Executive
was sworn 10 uphold the Constitution
and 10 enforce the laws. and that no
President had the right 10 exercise any
discretion as to what violstors Of the law
should be prosecuted.
In connection with A reference 70 the
railroad rate law. which he said had
been perfected in this administration.
Mr. Taft condemned the dema gogues
/ who seek to climb into power b. wanton
and untustihable abuse Of railroads
which are seeking TO comply with the
( law. and Of other legitimate business"
Although there was no closer applica-
ton TO any person than this. the au-
dience seemed To regard it as a direct
hit nj La Toilette, and applauded so
vigorously that it was some time before
the President could go on.
Big Crowds Meet President.
/ When the President arrived at Green
/ Bay early this morning he was met by
one Of the most effectively decorated
/ automobiles he has ridden in on this
/ trip. II was deliberately draped in white.
/ and on the front were two Young girls.
dressed all in white while over the radi-
ator was perched an American eagle. and
al the back was a badger the symbol Of
the state. Old residents Of Green Bay
( insist that never before had so large a
crowd gathered in that city as that
which welcomed the President. and at
no time has his plea for ratification Of
the peace treaties been more encour-
( agingiy received
At Appleton a record crowd. estimated
at 1900 persons, was assembled on the
campus Of Lawrence University. and
here the President explained his posi-
ton with regard 10 the importation of
print paper from Canada. This is in the
heart of the Wisconsin paper making
section. there being eight mills at this
point alone. The President told the
paper manufacturers that they had
nothing 70 fear from the free entry Of
paper made from pulp wood, which
might have entered the United States
without restriction. al was shown by
the fact that the law had been in opera
ton since July 90. and since that time
the price Of paper had increased. He
explained that the purpose OF the law
was 70 tempt the Canadian provinces 70
remove the restrictions they now impose
on the expectation Of wood and pulp.
and that in doing this he was looking 20
! the future. when the domestic supply Of
: pulp wood would inevitably be eX-
hausted. Several paper manufacturers
who were on the platform admitted that
they had been tempted 20 make noun
! tain ont Of a molehill and that the Presi-
dents logic was unanswerable
The President spoke straight from the
shoulder, and his audience obviously
liked his frank handling Of The subject.
Apparently the entire crowd which had
gathered on the campus accompanied the
President 10 the station when he had
finished speaking and gave ringing
cheer as the train pulled out
At Oshkosh the President made three
| speeches, the principal one in the Opera
House. but so great was the crowd that
not one-tenth could he admitted and il
was necessary to organize an overflow
meeting in the open air. The people 81
Oshkosh declare that never before in
/ their recollection has any public man
been greeted by such crowds or so en-
Enthusiastically cheered, and the same was
true Of Fond du Lac. where no fewer than
ten thousand persons were gathered be-
fore the courthouse to listen to the
Presidents address on peace.
Fearing that General Edward s.
Bragg, who lives at Fond du Lac would
be too feeble 70 attend the meeting. the
President ordered that he he taken by
the generals home. and there left his
car and went up 70 shake hands with
the old soldier. This SO touched the
general that he allowed himself 10 be
carried TO the meeting and made brief
Introduction of the Chief Executive.
Local newspaper men who are familiar
with the cities the President has visited
to-day and who have seen crowds in
Wisconsin for years declare that never
before have they seen such demonstra-
tons in this state. and Of course the
/ President is delighted with his recep-
ton Many local politicians assure me
that there is not the slightest doubt Of
Wisconsin's giving President Taft d
handsome majority in November 1872,

delegation will he for La Follette-some
