SAYS NEGROES HAVE MUCH TO FEAR THROUGH RECALL OF
 THE JUDICIARY.
President Feels Tha. Ills New Jersey Campaign Has Been Successful Says He Does Not Want
 a Third Term.

Atlantic City, N. J., May 27.-Witll speech to a crowd that filled Young's Pier back to the Board Walk with an overflow on the walk itself, President Taft tonight practically closed his campaign for New Jersey 3 28 delegates to the Republican na, tional convention.
 For four hours tomorrow, he will campaign on his way from the coast to the Delaware river. He will not make his last speech until one hour before the polls open, but his polit- ical advisers were of the opinion that with tonight's speech here and his busy trip down the coast today the president had done his best to con vince the New Jersey voters that he was worthy of their support tomor- row. Expressions from these adVis- CTS tonight were optimistic and MT. Taft himself apparently felt that his tour of the state had not been in vain
 As the president crossed the Board Walk to reach the pier, where he spoke thousands crowded around the president and it was with difficulty that the police prevented a panic When Mir. Taft reached the stand in the center of the pier he walked around in a circle so that all of his audience might have a chance to hear some of his speech. After lea/ing the pier the president spoke to a large crowd of negroes.
 Atlantic City was the last stop MT. Taft made on day that began for him at 8 o'clock and was crowded with speeches. Most of the pres ident's audiences were demonstrative and apparently interested in his re- marks. In Atlantic City he received a roaring welcome from the throngs of persons on the streets and on the board walk as he went to his hotel and later as he was taken to the pier where he spoke.
 The president did not change the tenor of his speeches from those made in other New Jersey towns ex- sept in few particulars. He declared during the day, however, that he would not consider a third term. He declared several times tAat the negro has much to fear if the proposal to recall judicial decisions should be- come law.
 In this connection at Lakewood he set up the supposition that some state legislatures legalize peonage and the supreme court declares such a law invalid.
 Then it is turned over under the proposed system of recall of judicial decisions to be voted on as to wheth- CT that decision is right at the next national election, It may be a Re- publican year and the amendments be sustained, it may be a Democratic year and the amendments voted down. l ask you my friends whether that was the kind of security you thought you were getting when the war was fought, when hundreds of thousands of lives were lost and blood was spilled so generously and treas ure amounting to millions was lost in order to establish those amend ments, and now are you going to make their weight and their sanction depend on one single popular cleo ton? I say my friends, when you consider this problem and when you consider the proposal and look at 1t face to face, it is so fundamentally erroneous that it presents a crisis in our history that We ought to meet and stamp out by not electing the man who proposes it."
 At Millville late today just as Mir. Taft finished speaking some one yelled:
 "How about Champ Clark?"
 Champ Clark is further on. We will attend to him later" said the president.
 The president will start out early to make a few more speeches before leaving for Washington.
