Springfield Glad to Soc Him.
Springfield gave the candidate a res
markahie reception. There was an all-
tomobfie parade through the rrineipaE
streets. It seemed az though the en-
Nre population turned out to cheer.
The streets were lined on both sides
the entire length of the parade Tho
governor spoke at the court square
theater, which Was crowded to the
doors.
At Springfield the candidate was
joined by Governor Eugene n. Foss,
and later by Mayor Fitzgerald, of Bos-
ton. Governor Foss assured the can
didate that the Democratic presiden-
tial ticket would carry Massachusetts
by a big plurality. Governor FosS
says the Republican vote will be about
evenly split between Taft and Roose-
vel,
as delighted with the prospects. He
added that he was more than pleas
antiy surprised by the enthusiasm evi-
denced at all his Massachusetts meet-
ings.
In hi speech at Springfield. the gov-
ernor said:
Both the regular and the Irregular
Republicans are regular upon this
point. neither of them fails to stand
pat on the tariff, and neither of therl
proposes 10 remedy the evils which
are created by the trusts. because on
the one hand there is no proposal q
remedy of any kind and on the other
hand the remedy perpetuates the dts-
ease.

Mr.. Roosevelt sent to congress-, IN

matter when legislation concerning II
