Norwich bulletin., 1912-04-30

1 campaign in Massachusetts He made 1 twenty speeches, going from Bnstcn
 through towns along the North Shore
 to Lawrence and Lowell, and then l across the northern part of the state l to the Berkshire hills. He encountered
 sn3ystorm in the hills of northern
 Massachusetts end a doWnpour of rain | later in the afternoon, but was greeted | by largo crowds at the principal points 1 on the days run. The theater in which l he spoke tonight was large enough to
 hold only part of the crowd which | wished to hear him.
 l Between such speeches Colonel l Roosevelt found time to prepare a re- l joinder to President Taft's statement 1 of last night in regard to the Harvest 1 CT trlst case. He contradicted the 1 president by asserting that the case
 was discussed by his cabinet with MT. | Taft present.
 Giving Artidote for Class Hatred.
 Mr. Taft says that preach class 1 hatred and excite diseontent Does | MT. Taft regard me as stirring up class
 hatred be jusc l ask fol a law in New
 Aork to prevent women from being ! worked for excessive hours in facto- l rles2 Does he Tega'd me as stirring l up class hatred because 1 stand for a l Workmens compensation act? Does he l regdfo me IS stirring up class hatred because l demand that the state and 1 the natio1 cooperate to make the con- | uItlons Of life, and labor better for
 wage workers, because I demand that state and n3ticn cooperate to help tile | farmer, to shape conditions SO that
 the farmer shall have not only a better | chance 10 do well in the actual tilling | Ct the scil but a better chance 70 com l blna with his fellows to secure busi- ness advantages and a better chance | 10 get in the open country the oppor- 1 tunlty for social and industrial devel- | opment which will enable him to keep
 his boys and girls in the country in
 stead of seeing them flock to the | tcWnsa
 The talk that I am stirring up class 1 hatred IS arrant nonsense. On the con | trary. J am advocating action which | VIII te the most effective kind of anti
 dcte 10 class hatred"
 Middleboro Mans Mistake.
 Practically every town the president | Vlslteu is manufacturing center. and l in many places the mills were closed | the schools had declared partial holi- i days. and every preparation had been made 10 welcome the nations chief
 .lnterruptiOns wcre frequent, espe- cl2llE when Nlr. Taft asked if he had | H-'Nii 1tN' '.Al et AtdA6 OEdI
 NO, no.' yelled some one in almost | every audience
 He made decided hit at Middleboro when man just beneath him shouted: | HGrraE for Teddy: no, I mean hur- ray for William H. Taft
 T hope you don't make that mis- take tomorrow said the president, i laughing.
 Flowers for Mrs. Taft.
 At Lawrence a girl, Annie Rushforth. Presented the president a bunch of flowers from the girls who were in | Washington at the time the Lawrence | arlkers appeared before the house in 1 VeSugatlng committee,
 Please give them to Mrs Taft" said the maid with a shy bow
 T certainly will said the president as he turned them over to one of his party J3 tlte back to his car.
 IT N;.f 1t Lawrence that the presi- . c'I. ne closest to the coloners trail 1 !ta stepped into the bandstand on the . 1olMon just few hours after Mr. Roosevelt had left it.
 1 Opposed Loriner Before RooseveIt's i Hat Was in Ring. | The president sounded a new note | at Baverhill in replying to MT. Roose- ] Nelts charge that he only came out against Senator Lorimer of Illinois | after he lost out in the primaries in ] that state.
 MT. Roosevelt says that I did not | go back on Lorimer until Lorimer was not successful in carrying Illinois for me. We'll my letter 10 him about l Iorimer was written a year before I knew that the coloners hat was in the ring at all"
 Voice Take it out of the ring" | say that MT Roosevelt had no | right under any circumstances to mis- l represent me in that regard"
 Representing a Cause.
 For the most part Alr. Tafts speeches ! We're much alike. Here in part is a | typical one. delivered in Brockton: | "l should not be here. and l am very sorry J have to be here deprecate 1 the intervention of the president of the nited States in a political controversy | like this that requires him to come ! upon the stump in order that he may | defend himself against misrepresenta- tons. l could stand misrepresentation myself-three years in the White | House has somewhat rnickened my | skin-and I could trust to the future ] to vinotcate, so far as l ought to be l Vindicated, my character and my rep | utatlon, but the truth is there Is some 1 other thins involved in this present | crisis than my reputation, my char acter and it's vindication. | 'l represent a cause and that cause l is the wise progress of all the people in their pursuit of happiness under the restrictions of our present wonderful | constitution We cannot afford to curse the bridge that has carried us over.
 Talking Through His Hat.
 Tt is said that I distrust the people, that l distrust popular government. l Any man who says so talking | through his hat. Every fibre of my 1 body is in instinct with love of popu- lar government. I got it from my fath- CT and my grandfather. 1t was put into me in such a way that it could not be | taken out of me with dynamite To be ] represented as an aristocrat, to be rep | resented as an oligarh hurts. Now I | don't object to taking From sport max | inns and applying them to life in gen eral. One of the first things I learned | when l began to play ball. or play any ! thing, was that the man who was a l poor loser was not a good man to play | with and that poor loser was not to be l an apostle of the square deal.
 No Evidence of Fraud.
 MT. Roosevelt says that all my l followers are thugs and robbers, and l that they are taking all the delegates | away from him. Of course, l cannot l tell what my followers do all over the country. All ] can say is that no evil | dence has been brought to me of any fraud that would hold for a moment in l any court in Christendom. l can tell | you, though, that there is some very | substantial evidence that the campaign that has been carried on on the other | side has been carried on with the de- | liberatc intention of stirring up the b,fia t-,.f ez--.t n fr7rr in Oty1- favor VIZ
