BATTLE IS IMMINENT

Mexico City. May 1s.-Neither Pres ident Madero nor any of his ministers would confirm or deny today that a new campaign was under way, having for it's object the retaking of Juarez. 1t is certain that the President has not sanctioned any peace propositions to the enemy. He is quoted as having asserted that his envoy to Orozco was Huerta and his army, and their ere dentials were their arms.

Seafaring Races

The portraits of Captain Amundsen show d certain likeness to Dr. Nansen. Both have In a marked degree the long marrow six ull of the Vikings. II is a curious circumstance that the seafaring races. whether on the Baltic or on the Mediterranean. have this type of head, while the inlanders of Europe are pre- dominantly of the broad headed Alpine sort
 But 1t will hardly do to make long headedness the cause of seamanship, as some enthusiasts have done, for the Japanese, who are round headed, take readily to the sea.

Harmon Fires Parting Shot

Delaware O.. May tS.-Concluding at this place tonight his speaking tour of Ohio In behalf of his candidacy for the democratic presidential nomination, Gov. Judson Harmon fired d parting shot at Woodrow Wilson and William J. Bryan. in so far as the state of Ohio Is concerned
 T cannot believe for moment" he said that the democracy of Ohio can be induced to discredit their own ad- ministration. which the people of the state have so signal1y approved. and set aside their own governor for the governor of another state, who, in de- fiance of wholesome political usages of long standing, has lent his name to an opposition whose leaders, methods and obvious purposes discredlt 1t In the eyes of all fair men"
 The governor in his various speeches over the state has deplored the methods pursued on both sides in the Ohio cam- paign and he again made reference to them tonight
 We are," he said, fortunately near the close of the campaign in Ohio. the like of which we~never had before, and I hope will never again have. l be- lieve the people will say to the re- publican contestants who have left a sulphurous trail behind them all over the state, a plague on both your houses give us democrat for President.
 As for ourselves. the campaign has not been altogether on the high plane which the dignity and importance of the office involved requires. But. on the whole, 1t has not fallen so far be- low the proper standard as on the oth- CT side.''
 Governor Harmon gave expression to the sentiment that Ohio. would not de- feat it's own candidate, and added:ee
 "If I am right in my belief. the dele gates from Ohio will present the name of her governor at Baltimore in nc spirit of hostility or envy to any other They will simply make good he unani- nous action of the convention at Day. ton by confirming at the state prina, ries on Tuesday its selection of me and back that action by fair and hon

Taft Affronts Intelligence

"Mr. Taft and his managers have sought mendaciously to escape responsibility for MT. Tafts part in this matter through the false pretense that, because MT. Taft was out of the country in the fall or 1907, he was not in position to know about or have anything to do with the matter. It is not only an affront to the intelligence of the American people for him to say to them, as he does, that a man occupying the position in the ad- ministration which he then occupied would not of necessity be thoroughly in- formed upon a matter of such importance, but it is a positive falsehood. MT Taft returned to the United States from his trip around the world in December, 1907. He was present at the cabinet meeting in january, 1908. and as Mir Bonaparte's let ter specifically shows. he not only took part, but the deciding part, In determi- nation of the cabinet to postpone prose- cutIon of the Harvester company pending the investigation by the bureau of cor nora fiOns ''sa

 The Presidents opinion of MT. Roose- velts tariff reform ideas was concisely set forth at Paulding. He said; ssf
 Now, MT. Rooseevlt has finally come to answering a question on protection, something which he has avoided for years and years. He has now reached a discov- cry. He is in favor of that kind of pro- lection that will produce profit in busi- ness so that most of it goes through the office down into the pay envelope of the employe. That is a very good kind of protection if you can get it.
 He states the conclusion that le would like to reach without stating how he is going to bring it about. Now, it is absurd to say that you can have pro teetive tariff bill that in any way will di- vide the profit or the earnings in the business that protective tariff bill may de- velop. You cannot do it."
 Taft and the Veteran
 At Lima late today an old soleier ill the audience who sat up near the plat form rose every time the President asked question, and usually had an answer ready that showed his approval of Mr. Tafts administration.
 T ask your support next week in the primary for an Ohio president who has made good" said the President
 The old soldier rose
 We will elect you again."
 The President suggested that he take his seat:
 GO to it old stocking; go tahead old boy, continued the soldier
 Wont you sit down?" asked the Pres ident
 No" said the old man. I'm going to stand up and listen to you"
 When the President came to discus sion of the Lorimer case and MT. Roose- velts charges against him in connection with 1t, he wound up by asking if Abra- ham Lincoln would have acted in that matter as MT. Roosevelt has acted.

Taft Is Confident

Springfield. Ohio, May 1S.-Conident that his appeal to the pride of Ohio
 in an Ohio President has been of some
 avail and that his chance of capturing this states delegation to the repub- lican national convention has improved
 greatly since he crossed the Ohio river last Monday. President Taft tonight closed the weeks campaign with q speech here. Only one more day, Mon- day will be devoted by the President to this campaign. When he makes his last speech at Dayton Monday night he will have travelled almost 5000 miles in Ohio; will have spoken in every congressional district in the state. and
 have visited 7S of Its Ss counties.
 Ohio politicians who have talked with Mir. Taft say that never in the states history has there been such a cam paign. The Presidents feeling of con- fidence in the outcome was reflected in his manner.
 Old Smile Returns Although he used plain language about Colonel Roosevelt and the Ohio bosses at times his old smile that has appeared but seldom of late, was again in evidence.
 To the farmers today the President talked about Canadian reciprocity and about Mir. Roosevelt's tariff revision proposals.
 He bluntly asserted that Mr. Roosevelt

It was afterward proved by Louis J. Brandeis that this brief was not in existence when MT.

Harvester Suit Matter

Colonel Roosevelt then took up the charge that he had refused to prosecute the International Harvester company, making much the same statements in this connection as in previous speeches.
 Colonel Roosevelt's reference to the Bal finger Pnehot controversy was his first extended discussion of this case in his campaign. He asserted Mir Taft sup ported MT. Ballinger against every honest official in the interior department and especially against Clifford Pinchot and Louis Glavis.'
 ''Glavis," he continued, put into the hands of the President a detailed report showing that the Cunningham claims were fraudulent. Mir. Taft did not read the evidence in the case and he actually placed the decision of the, case in the hands of Ballinger and signed the letter prepared by Attorney Oscar Lawler m Ballinger's office, which whitewashed Ballnger and directed the expulsion of Glavis from office.
