TOIEDO'S WELCOME,

Toledo, Ohio. March S.-Taking is sue with the political policies of the recall of judges and of court decis- lionl, President Taft delivered }tlle first real speech of his campaign here tonight Answering RooScvelt's Col umbus speech, MT. Taft declared that the defects of the judicial system ot the country have not been found ia corruN judges but mainly in coust procedure and in the helplcssncSs Of the judges in hearing cases to assist the jurors in reaching proper verdicts. Judicial recall, said Mr. Taft, will deprive the judges of that independ- ence without which the liberty an1 right of the individual cannot Le was termed "crude, revolutionary and unstable" and he added:
 "This is remarkable suggestior and one which is so contrary to any thing the government heretofore pro posed, ii is hard to give it that ser- ous consideration which it deserves, because of it's advocates and of the conditions under which it is advanc- ed.''
 Escorted by a troop of state cavai- ny and met at the station by com mittee from the Commerce Club 2t Toledo, President Taft reached here today at 4:1O. The presidential sal ute of twenty-one guns was fired from battery stationed opposite the de- pot as Taft and his party arrived They were escorted to automobiles which, forming parade, took the chief executive to the rooms of the Club, where the business men of the city shook hands with him.
 Following the reception at the Commerce Club the president was ter, dered banquet by the members oi the Club tonight.

 The President is being urged by some of his friends not to precipate personal controversy between him. self and Colonel Roosevelt by "call- l ing names" in any of these speeches and not to make pointed references 70 the Roosaveltan arguments with CT without cause.
 These friends take position that a dignified attitude on the part of the | President will win more favor than would a pitched battle and that . bitted conflict would do more to divide the party than all the differ ence, of opinion that has ever existed as to issue.
 1 There are some reasons to believe that this class of the Presidents ad visers are making headway. MT Taft has told friends that he doe: not mean to run the former Presi- dent through, either in these speeches CT in any to come.
 There are others among the clos friends of MT. Taft, who do not be lieve a -and-mush campaign, as it has bcen described, will win thi fight for the nomination. They l take the position that, unless Mir. Taft mec.s attack by attack, th, country will not tsf impressed witt the Presidents claims upon hi party, and that ha will lose supper which he would otherwise have an: which is his, by every right,
 In any event, the President vii make a reply of some character l. the Colonel's arguments and he vii have the attention of the whol country when he does it. He ha I himself indicated that Ehe. will mak this reply on the installmen. pla and that no one part of it will b complete.
