TAFT PROMISES MORE REVISION
 OF THE TARIFF
In Campaign Interview Presi- dent Tries to Hoodwink PeO- pie by Hinting at Another Extra Session Says Third Term Party's Plan fo Control Business Would Create Most Monstrous Mo nOpOly of Power

New York, Sept 25-In a campaign interview given out here today Pres Edent Taft unequtvocalIy promised a revision of the tariff downward should he be reelected, and hinted at an ssx- t1,a session to bring about that revis- ion should the Republicans control the next Congress.
 He. declared that the third party trust plan, with an interruptions man as President. might lead to a, dictator ship that only revolution could re- move.
 He denied Governor wilson's asser- uoI1 that the protective tariff has put American industries in the straight jacket, declared that the American workingmen are more prosperous than those in Europe, and asserted that the DeHnocna tic wool and cotton bills turers to England and Germany. In part, President Taft said:
 The Republican paTty's tariff policy is not to shut out foreign nlanufac- tulies and keep the American working man employed. The tariff should be revised so far may be necessary to keep prices from being exorbitant so that the manufacturer shall secure only enough protection to pay the scale Of high wages which obtains and ought to obtain in this country and secure a reasonable profit from the business.
 rThe American public may rest as- erred thet should the Republican par ty be restored to power in ail execu- tive branches. all the schedules in the present taliff of which comment is made. will be subjected to investiga- ton and without delay by a compe- tent, impartial tariff board and to the reduction oT change which may be necessary to secure the rates reconn- mended.
 The proposal of the third term par ty to control business through federal incorporation and regulation would create the most nnonstroals mon0poIy of power in the history of the world, a power as much greater, as much more aSariciolHs than that of Caesar or Napoleon An unprincipded man with such power i'm his grasp could perpetua,te his authority perhaps un- der legitimate forms and become a. die ta.tor until hisss Glold- is broken loose only by reSolutdon.'s
 Asked if he regarded as hopeless or useless any efforts in the direction of world commerce. President Taft said:
 ..The record of my administration does not indicate that I regard such efforts as either hopeless or useless. On the contrary, the advances in that

Projects to create great bonded
 debt in Bridgeport were overwhelrn
 ingIy defeated, in the special election yesterday.
 The proposal to issue $1. 200 GOO ir bonds to inaugurate the Herring sewer system was defeated by 4,464, and
 the votes cast against the project to- tailed 6.144, which is 5,333 more votes than Mayor Wilson received in the election in which he was chosen. All of the bonding proposals were defeated, but the aImshouse bonds had a. body of opinion in their favor. the
 majority against the proposed issue of s175,O00 being but 3s4
 Many persons believe that the alrns- house issue would have prevailed had it not been for the objection to the
 long term debt
 All of the propositions looking to the aggrandizement of the mayoral office were badly beaten, including the pro- posal to give the mayor the appoint ment of every member of the board, and the proposal to make him a mem Der of the board with the same pow CTS as sother members
 Three of the fourteen propositions
 eubGrAtted to the vokeEs prevailed. l NO OA- tIlSSS were SuOnlIIISo Dy AIdy or Wilson. The third, for the abolition of the personal tax. proceeded from the Common Council.
 The electors favored consoIida ton of the tax districts into one district, favored the collection of the personal tax by the regular tax collector, and favored the abolition of the personal tax altogether, the latter being a mere expression of opinion, since the personal tax is collected under a gen eraI law. which can only be altered by the legislature.
 A large vote appeared, the greater part of which came spontaneously. This was especially true of the "No'' vote, which was entirely unorganized. The ''Yes'' vote was partly influenc- ed by Republican workers. who had been called together and instructed by Mayor Wilson in person to put his measures through
 Much criticism was heard of the form of the election It was to a large extent unguarded. The vote, in- stead of being direct to the measure, was to give, or not to give, broad DOW CTS to the executive
 In many Of the polling places coun- ters had not been provided, excepting those favorable to the mayors pro posals.
 Altogether the election. despite its happy outcome, established a pre- cedent. that most of the voters were inclined to regard with disfavor
 All of these factors, in the opinion of close observers. contributed to the | defeat of some measures that might have passed had they been fairly pre- sented, in d guarded election. upon i their merits.
 This was thought to be notably true | of the almshouse, which lost votes | because definite plans, including the | form of bill, and exact site, were not | before the voters, because it was pro 1 posed to make the debt run for a long term, and because the manner in which the election was called and held was in disfavor-
