Shows Him up as a Dangerous
Office Seeker and Breaker
Of Promises.

Boston. Mass, April 26.-Presi
dent Taft last night cast aside his
policy of avoiding personalities in
his campaign for denomination and
devoted his entire speech to an at
tack upon Col. Theodore Roosevelt
and defense of himself and his adj
ministration against charges Colonel
Roosevelt recently has made on the
stump.
Mr.. Taft's speech bristled with
counter charges againsr.his predeces-
sor in the white house. He declared
that Mr.. Roosevelt had wiIfullv mis-
represented him. had falsely distort.
ed some of his public utterances,
had failed to live up to his policy OF
a square deal and had violated 9
solemn promise to the American
people not to be a candidate for g
third term.
Thai promise and his treatment
of it," said Mr.. Taft, "only throw
an informing light on the value that
ought now to be attached to any
promise Of this kind he may make
for the future.
Declaring that Mr.. Roosevelt, y
ought not to be selected as a candi.

that the former President might now
be paving the way. if successful in
the present campaign, to remain the
chief executive of the nation for al
many terms as his natural life would
permit.

Politicians in Washington
Think Such a Thing Is
Highly Probable.
GOSSIP SO POINTS
NebraSkan Himself Still De-
ClareS He Is Not and Will
Not Be a Candidate.

Washington. April 26 The visit
OF Williams Jennings Bryan to
Washington and his conferences
with various party leaders here,
particularly in the senate, was fol-
lowed by widespread discussion of
the possibility that the distinguished
Nebraskan might again be the
democratic candidate for President.
Mr.. Bryan frankly stated to inter-
viewers that he was not candidate
for the nomination in any sense of
the word. and that it was difficult
for him to conceive of any circum-
stances under which he might be a
candidate. He said there were
plenty of other progressives in the
party from whom a selection could
be made.
Despite these public uterances
some democratic senator's today in
discussing their informal talks with
Mr.. Bryan were inclined to the be.
lief that under certain conditions
Mr.. Bryan would not decline the
nomination.
In short the impression left was
that if Colonel Roosevelt should be
the republican nominee Mr.. Bryan
would like once more to take the
field against him.

M A TUNNEL FOR
RIDGEFIELD PARK DEPOT.

RIDGEFIELD PARK, Jan. 12.-The
action of the Public Utilities Commits
sion In ordering the West Shore and the
S~usquehanna Railroad companies to
protect the crossings at the union sta
ton at Ridgefield Park by building a
fence in front of the West Shore tracks
and keeping a flagman stationed there
was greeted with some satisfaction by
the Ridgefield Park people, but it has
not allayed the agitation in favor of
adequate protection.
The general talk among the
commuters and citizens generally was
that while a fence might help a little
the only really satisfactory way of
safeguarding life and limb at this
death trap crossing is by forcing the
West Shore Railroad Company to build
a tunnel under It's tracks SO that pas
sengers might pass to and from the
main station without any danger Of
being mangled by West Shore trains.
