Roadway against the insurgents.
Many American planters have ap-
pealed to the commandant of the
naval station at Guantanamo to send
guards of marines and bluejackets to
their plantations. Such guards cannot
be sent until the cruiser Prairie ar

aColonel Roosevelt at the close of his
second days campaign in this state.
when we got through with them in
Pennsylvania there wasn't enough left
of them to put into coal scuttle. 1t

- Colonel Roosevelt made swing
through New Jersey, making his last
speech at Trenton. The crowds
turned out to hear the colonel were
large and enthusiastic. In some
places the combined efforts of police
men and firemen were of no avail in
keeping them back The people
swarmed about him, cheering and
struggling to get close enough to
shake hands with him At times the
colonel was obliged to pitch with both
arms to fight his way out. ss .5
~ Colonel Roosevelt did not mention
the name of President Taft during the
day trip. Ia Camden where he spoke
at night, he replied to a statement
which Mr.. Taft was reported to have
made.
'Mr. Taft says that if my proposal
for referendum on judicial decisions
were adopted" said the colonel,
there would be nothing to prevent a
legislature from repeating the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution and dis
franchising the negroes. 1t is impos-

Suppose that the income tax
amendment to the Constitution is

two or three states would recall that
amendment after it had become a
part of the Constitution? 1t is diff
cult to reply seriously to such non
sense"
In his other speeches Colonel Roose-
welt mixed politics with various other
things, some of which bore no relation
to the issues of the campaign. He
