Campaign After Speech In
Toledo Last Night
OHIO BATTLE NEAR END

| COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 1S.-Col.
Roosevelt left here today, resuming
his campaign in Ohio, with eleven
speeches scheduled. He will speak
tonight In Cleveland.
Roosevelt supporters claim this
present tour Is working wonders for
the colonel and that there is no ques-
tion that he will capture a majority
OF the Ohio national delegation.
Col. Roosevelt will spend Sunday at
the home of James d. Garfield at
Mentor, hear Cleveland, and Sunday
night will leave for Marietta, from
which city he will begin the final
stage of his Ohio trip. Monday morn
ing.
The colonel was greeted by one OF
the largest crowds OF his present trip
here last night when he addressed
mass meeting.
Inside the hall 1000 persons heard
his address, while on the outside OF
the hall 5000 people, who could not
obtain entrance, threatened to break
up the meeting In their attempts to
force the doors.
Roosevelt refrained from the caus.
tic criticism of President Taft that
has marked other speeches, but he
arraigned the political bosses from
whom, he said. Taft is receiving four.
fifths of his support.
TOLEDO, Ohio, May 1S.-President
Taft left Toledo early on the closing
Cay OF full week of speech making.
His schedule carried him toward Gin

Taft.
Monday will be a strenuous day for
both the president and Col. RoQse-
welt, each being scheduled to make 10
speeches closing the delegate cam
paigI before the primaries Tuesday.
President Taft tapped Roosevelt
rather gently in his speech here last
nighr: He spoke fssolfls OF bosses and
the active supporters of the colonel.
He said Walter Brown. Roosevelt's
hio manager, was once an efficient
aid to him, but that he and Brown
had differed on certain judicial ap-
pointments.
Approximately 5000 persons heard
him through. He was an hour late
arriving and some left the hall as the
crowd grew restless waiting.

II seems the natural consequence

by men. But the idea ought not az
all TO carry the sense OF supplantjng
men, as IL has been too often express

naturally into their own places In the
worlds work and TO stimulate ard help
other workers, either men or women,
letting the skill or talent OF the work

Among the men and women from
