Scores Taft's Action.

"Now, whether you believe in the
recall or not" he said, 81 think you
will agree with me that it is not for
you to say whether the people of Ari-
IONA shall have the recall. We had
this question up in congress. We said
the people of Arizona must vote on the
question again, and whatever way they
voted, they would be allowed to come
into the union.
"And, my friends, the president of
the United States vetoed that resolu-
ton, and one was passed providing
that the people of Arizona must vote
again, but must vote against the re-
call, though they can put it into their
constitution after admission.
"a fine lesson to teach the people
on the threshold of admission to this
union. What, think you, would say
the disembodied spirits of those men
whose bones lie moldering on the
battlefields of the republic, if, looking
down, they could realize that the price
of admission to this union was a stulti-
fication of the electorate of the indi-
vidual state?
II want to say that this is the
blacklist chapter in all tyranny out
side of the absolute despotism of an
