Jersey contemporary friend fears may exist.
 The nomination is great prize. It may go to any of the candidates :n the field, or to somebody else. The anxiety of each candidate, and of own interest makes it certain that for the present each is for his own hand. Governor Wilson is making a strong race. But he will not be helped by such injudicious partisanship as that of which the News is guilty
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-27

The good old days when mighty rulers jousted in single combat have returned. The rules of the field are milder. the weapons do not tnfiict mortal wounds and there is more ann pie provision for caring for the ln- iured than in the days when sover- eiRns sought for each other with pat tie axes. It is safe to assert, how ever, that in their present condition of mind President Taft and ex-pres1- dent Roosevelt would use battle axes upon. each other, if civilization per- mitted.
 The spectacle of an ex-president and a president of the United States enragine in a tournament to see which can stick to the other the big gest record of public evil done is certainly new in the United States and as exciting as it is novel.
 Very evidently the president is <oaded to anger by the numerous att tacks of his former friend. and rem derud desperate as we'll by the fear that he will lose the Massachusetts primaries and not be renominated, al- though, now that Roosevelt has ob- tained the Missouri delegates, even Massachusetts may not save the pres- idential bacon.
 Taft, as . jouster and knight in ver- bal arms. makes better public im- preston than Taft, defending in judi cial terms outgrown rules, which so- ciety is about to replace with other rules better adapted to it's needs.
 There is something in his Boston speech which will attract sympathy to him, for he has been unfairly used by Roosevelt, and the president-maker has not been over particular regard ing the quantity or quality of the ve- racity he has mixed with his com- ments upon the president.
 Taft's defense does not consist of mere wind and language, but is back cd by an abundance of documentary evidence, in the form of letters from Roosevelt. or speeches by Roosevelt, or official actions by Roosevelt as president. This evidence is two edged sword. For the purpose of showing that Roosevelt is insincere, or worse. that he does not tell the truth, that he is reckless in his state ments and unfair in his methods, the facts shown by the president are ef- fectfve.
 But they are also effective in show. ing that the President is guilty o1 those faults which Roosevelt charged against him.
 The President does not attempt to say that he did not do this, that ol the other thing. but that ROOSEVELT PARTICIPATED in the DOING OF THEM, or approved when told that they should be done
 In other words, the quick, agile and interruptions Roosevelt, reading the public mind, stepped from under the burden of blunder and public errol into which Taft's administration hat tumbled. leaving the whole load up. on the Presidents shoulders.
