Washington, May .s-lynahle to

Republicans of that state his argu-
ments for support in the presidential
primary election on Tuesday.
The presidents telegram was sent
to Colonel Charles NJ Hammond,
manager of the Taft forces in San
, Francisco and hrother-in-law of
Colonel Roosevelt 1t was alse. sent
to P. A. Stanton, the Taft manager at
Los Angeles.
In the message President Taft re-
viewed the achievements of his ad-
miniStration when he asserted that
| Roosevelt was not giving to him a
square deal but was appealing to class
hatred and forcing sham issues. The
telegram in full follows:
"On the eve of your presidential
primary in California venture to
appeal to the republican men and
women who exercise the franchise to
consider fairly and we'll the legisla-
tive and executive achievements of my
administration and especially those
say whether they do not deserve ap-
proval by the people of California.
"ln the matter of the tariff. the
Panama Pacific exposition conserva-
ton in the increase in our int. rna-
tlonal and Philippine trade in the en-
ployers' lila bility act in the more dras-
tic and complete regulation of inter-
state commerce. in the postal savings
bank bill. in the mining bureau bill
for the health and wealth Of the
miners. in the esta blishment of d
tariff commission. in the change from
deficit Of fifty million dollars to a
surplus of forty million. in the cor
poration tax. in the children's bureau
| bill for the health and welfare OF
children's bureau of Miss Julia C.
Iathrop. one of the ahlest women of
America; in the making of peace
treaties with England and France
which have been emasculated through
the influence of Mr.. Roosevelt and his
campaign manager. Senator Dixon and
the democratic members of the senate
In the effective prosecution of the
work of building and completing the
Panama canal | submit record tha,
entities this administration to the
support of the republican men and
women of California and that it is
progressive In the highest degree.
The last important measure which
have urgently recommended to con-
greSS WHICH has passed the senate and
| is now pending in the house of repre-
sentatives is the workmen's compen-
sation bill which changes altogether
the policy of the law with reference
to the liability of the employer to the
er .ploye on interstate commerce rail-
roads and gives an insurance for every
employe against the dangers of his
employment by requiring the en-
ployer to indemnify the emplove
agains injury received in the employ
ment not brought about by his will!
and voluntary account and fixes a
reasonable compensation graduated
according to regular tables and pro-
portioned to the extent Of the injuries
and the earning capacity Of the en-
ploye injured.
In the opposition which Mr.. Roose-
Welt is now making to this administra-
ton he is n giving me square deal
la / h e shown by undoubted record
proof. His appealing to class hatred
and forcing sham issues in such wav
that his success would be a real detri.
ment to the public interest and a
dangerous departure from a wise ira
dition. which he. himself has recoc-
nized. that limits citizen to tw,.
terms in the presidency
