Bayview, Nd, May Al am a
peaceful man and | don't want to
fight, but when | do fight | hit hard"
said President Taft In his speech at
Hyattsville today. Then he launched
into bitter denunciation of Roose-
welt.
"The cause l represent is being
injured by misrepresentation of
Colonel Roosevelt. He is spreading
the impression that If you nominate
him he will abolish bosses. Roose-
welt was president for seven years and
! would like some one to tell me how
many bosses he abolished"
Referring to Charles ]. Bonaparte
attorney general under Roosevelt,
President Taft said:
MY friend Bonaparte, If | may call
him that says | am substitute presi-
dent. cannot reply to that Such
an attack is like criticlzing ones

At Laurel President Taft again re-
ferred TO Roosevelt in a sarcastic
manner, saying: 81 tremble for the

to Wilson In behalf Of a large number
Of California voters It says;
princeton, N. j., May 3, 1912.-In
the matter of the Chinese and Japan
ese coolie immigration | stand for the
national policy of exclusion or restrict
ed immigration. The whole question
Is one of the assimilation of divers
races, We cannot make a homogen-
Gus population out of n people who do
do not blend with the Caucasian race
Their lower standard Of living and la
Dor will crowd out the white agricul-
turist, and in other fields the Chinese

the state should protect them against
unjust and impossible competition.
"Remuneratiye labor Is the basis OF

the aid of other printing trades. All

midnight, and other trades will prob
ably quit before tomorrow morning,
