TAFT SAYS HE Is
A PROGRESSIVE
Compares His Administration to
Roesevelt's and Show Colonel
Was a Spendthrift.

Springfield, Ohio. May 1s.-From the
platform OF the BILLY Sunday Taberna-
Gle President Taft tonight aroused as
much enthusiasm among his audience Of
1000 as the redoubtable Billy ever did.
Gen. Warren Keifer, who has long been
a member of Congress from Ohio. intro
duced the President. whose train was
nearly three hours late.
After voicing his approval Of the rail-
road bill and other administration meas
ures, the President took up Roosevelt
and declared that the colonels protective
policy is "a proposition of reform used
from the platform to catch votes"
After having talked his way across the
State of Ohio from Toledo, President
Taft arrived in Cincinnati tonight and
went Immediately to the home Of his
brother. Charles P. Taft. where he will
remain resting over Sunday. To-day was
by far the Presidents hardest day since
he took the stump. His speeches, begin
ming with an address before 5000 people
in Toledo, were fervid and full OF fighting
spirit.
Compares Two Records.
In all of his speeches to-day the Presi-
dent made an attempt to answer the
most recent allegations Of Roosevelt. At
Napoleon he said:
Roosevelt says that I lack magma
ton and sympathy and am puzzle-wit-
ted. am not so puzzle-witted that
cannot conceive the difference between
the $5O,OO6OO0 Treasury deficit at the end
Of Theodore Roosevelt's two terms and
the 81, 900 surplus at the end of my
first year as President"
At Wauseon the President asked IL his
record had not established him as a
progressive. In answer to a question
about schedule K, he said the matter
had been referred to the tariff commits
sion, recommendation had been received
from the commission was fair to both
the wool growers and the consumers.

Don't use eoft salmon colored or under

ONE OF TAFTS JUDGES

A number of Federal Judges
have been winking al fee graft
ing by their clerks-although it
does not appear that there was
any judicial "rake off, for them
selves-and MIR. Taft has refused
ia allow those judges to be haled
into court for disciplining.
And now the House has been
forced to use drastic measures 10
force him to permit the scanda
lous conduct of one of his late
judicial appointments, Judge R.
W. Archibald, to be examined.
While sitting as a Judge in the
"Literage cases" to which the
Erie R. R. is a party, he got an
option from that company for
$4,000 tons of culm dump, which
he expected to sell at a profit of
S12,000.0O.
Again, this Judge Archibald
tried to get the Marion Coal Com
pany of Scranton, which had a
case pending before him at the
time, to discount his note for
$500. 90 given in a Venezuela tim.
Der speculation. The company
refused-and they lost their case!
That this fact Influenced the
decision, is shown by the admis-
sion of the judges partner in
these judicial" deals, one Ed.
ward ]. Williams. who is making
a clean breast of the whole dis
creditable business, that 'the
case might have ended differ
emily had the judges note been
discountedn No doubt.
Other like deals" of this choice
specimen of Mr.. Taft's juridical
impeccancy, are being unearthed
BY the House. But this conduct
Of Judge Archibald was so salts.
factory to Mr.. Taft that he tried
to smother the investigation
Judge Archibald is a ft Judge
to preside over the Commerce
Court, which was created through
railroad influence in Congress
for the sole purpose Of overrul-
ing the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and of paralizing the
valuable work it has been doing
to protect the people from the
railroad tyrannies. His impeach-
ment will also be fitting finale
to the action of the House in
abolishing. by vote of 100 to 49,
this needless and vicious tri-
hunal.

ROOSEYELTS CANDIDACY

Whether Theodore Roosevelt
be a lf-seeking demagogue, as
some of his maligners paint him,
or the honest champion of the
people, moved to his course by
motives of real patriotism, as his
countrymen commonly believe,
his candidacy and his severe ar
raignment of the re-actionary
policies of President Taft, marks
the elimination of an epoch
second to none in the history of
American politics.
It marks the coming of the
common people into their own,
when at last they are retaking
into their own hands the powers
of government usurped and pros
tituted for over a quarter of a
century by Predatory Wealth
and Privileged to their greedy
purposes.
It sou nds the death knell of
Big. Business and its power to
manufacture and sell adulteraled
and poisoned foods, drinks and
drugs.
In a word, it means the de-
thronement of the Money Power
with all it's malign 1surpations,
and the removal Of the seat of
government from Wall Street
back to Washington.
Furthermore, it means that the
control of the Federal Courts, in
Guiding too often the Supreme
Court itself, by the Standard
Oil, the Tobacco Trust, the Beef
Barons and the whole crew of
Privilege Trusts, is having its
end.
Finally, it heralds the passing
out of American Courts, Federal
and State, of that hateful doc
trine Of medieval slavery-a ju.
dicial relic of English feudalism
that property is of more worth
than the Man, and with it the
judicial absolutism, that in viola-
tion of that fundamental doc.
trim of the Constitution-the
equality of the three co ordinate
powers of government = has
dared to set the mere ipse dixit
of Trust.loving judges above the
will of the people plainly ex-
pressed through their represen-
tatives in Congress.
Mr.. Roosevelt's personality, as
he himself has more than once
declared, is of no moment in the
weighty issues at stake; and
whether he or some other Pro
gressive be nominated, the Re-
form itself, of whose great prin-
ciples he is but the mouthpiece,
uttering the thoughts and pur-
poses that have long burned in
the hearts of many thousands,
will go forward to its perfect
consummation until the "gover l..
ment of the people, by the people,
for the people" be restored as
our fathers gave it to us.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
ST, LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-When Gov
ernor Herbert s. Hadley came to st.
louis late this afternoon to open the
republican campaign at the Odeon
theatre he met with refusal on the
part of the state central committee
to allow him to speak unless he prom
ised to declare flat-footedly for Taft.
Hadley insisted that he could not
make such a declaration unless he
had assurances from the president
that he would favor preferential pri-
maries and reorganization of south
ern representation In presidential
nominations. After a secret confer
ence with Taft over the long distance
telephone Hadley began his speech
under the auspices of the central com
mittee at 1880, and although 1t was
/ believed that he would declare fol
/ the republican nominee, his opening
words gave no clue to what was to
4 follow.
Up to one o'clock Hadley evidently
had not received Taft's decision as t.
4 the proposition put up to him by Had
ley, and was still lodging the issue
