Taft was the deficitv' yelled a nan
And the other day Mr.. Taft said
that the national committee would do
him justice" went on Mr.. Roosevelt.
Il want the people to do me Justice,
and that illustrates the difference be
tween us. l appeal to the people and
he to the national committee with the
expectation that 1t will misrepresent
the people.
81 appeal to the people to control
themselves. Remember, the national
committee was elected not by the PEG.
pie, but by the politicians, four years
ago. Mr.. Taft appealed to the nation
al committee, elected by the politi-
clans, four years ago, and l appeal to
the people in this year 1912.
Now, friends, this is your fight. I
have come here to ask that you stand
by yourselves"
School Children at Station.
The Roosevelt special slowed down
at Chatham, a few miles from Morris
town. All of the school children of
the town were drawn up ut the station.
The colonel went out on the back plat
form and waved his hat.
The barometer readings In Jersey
look as If TAFT was In for a bad time
tomorrow" SAID Senator Dixon.
Everett Colby, one of the Roosevelt
candidates for delegate at large, pre-
dicted the colonel would win an over
whelming victory.

stand what the fight means-the saliva
ton of the Republican party and res
toratlon Of real republican govern
ment throughout the country" he said.
THE claim Of the standpatters that
Colonel Roosevelt is destroying the Re
publican party is made ridiculous by
q mere statement Of the fact that aft
er sever years Of Roosevelt the state
of New Jersey went Republican by 80
900 and after two years Of Taft 1t
went Democratic by 10000"
Uncle Dam Voorhees, put down his
fist when he learned that Superintend-
ent Travel of the Morristown public
schools had made arrangements to
allow the 1900 pupils of the grammar
schools to leave their studies at 10
O'Clock to see Roosevelt at the rail
road station. The school board direct
ed Travel not to dismiss the pupils
for any such purpose.
They Had Excuses"
Despite the order of the school board
that the schools be not dismissed, hun
dreds Of school children were at the
station with flags.
Little Doris Williams explained the
situation.
I'VE all thought the schools were
going to close at 10 O'clock" she said,
"but they didn't"
why are you here, them" she was
asked.
"Why, there are some of US here
who brought excuses"
Are all the children here who
brought excusesr
Il don't know, but thirty-one IN our
class did"
Roosevelt is doing no worrying about
New Jersey. With the Sixth and Sew
enth congressional districts as the only
spots in the state hat are conceded to
be at all doubtful, Roosevelt believes
he will land all Of New Jerseys TWEEN
ty-eight delegates.
Senator Dixon, discussing the out
look, would say little about the plans
Of Roosevelt for getting control of the
Republican, national committee in time
to prevent the seating of all contesting
delegates in favor OF Taft.
I'VE set a little hen yesterday that
may hatch out something" said Mr.,
Dixon significantly.
After Murphy's Scalp.
Though Senator Dixon would not
talk on the subject, 1t is known that
Roosevelt intends to try to drive off
the national committee every man
whose sentiment for Taft has been re
pudlated by the people. This will In
clude Franklin Murphy OF New Jersey
if Roosevelt wins this state.
