PROGRESSIVE TAFT
Colonel Says You Cannot
Take Any Ones Mere Say
So About 1t.
GREETED BY BIG CROWD

Manchester. N. H. April 1s.-coL Roose-
welt prodded President Taft for calling
himself a. progressive in warm speech
here tonight. winding up day Of cam
paigning in New Hampshire. The former
President spoke to q crowd that over
flowed the auditorium. "I want to speak
to you Of something haven't touched
much on before" said Col Roosevelt.
THE President has said he is a pro-
gressive. Now, progressivism Is mat
ter OF instinct. a matter OF conviction.
and OF attitude-and you cannot accept
any ones mere say so about It. Four
years ago I supported Mr.. Taft on his
record at that time as a progressive. Now
when we have had three and one-half
years Of close study OF the President at
close quarters all the men who opposed
hlm-GaIlinger. Senator Crane, and the
rest Of them-are all with him, while the
progressives are all against him.
The progressives who supported the
President four years ago and now on his
record oppose him are right The reac-
tionaries who opposed then and on his
record are for him are right. Both are
right.
! The fight we are making is for the
right OF the people to vote themselves.
That Is an empty phrase with them.
I'VE want direct primaries! That's what
we'd like to have for our Senator's"
Call Him Anarchist.
The colonel remarked that "some peo-
pie like to call him an anarchist"
I'm an anarchist Of this brand" he
said. In this fight we are bereft OF the
support of the silk stockings. There are
some silk stockings that are all right.
The silk stockings that don't claim any
special privileges as against the other
stockings are with US, / think. Every
man who feels that he is robust is with
us, but the timid soul who Is afraid of
taking hold Of government for himself.
but wants. boss TO do II, Is against US.
Very welI,c let II be straight line then.
Pitted against US are the bosses, under
strappers, and the bread-and-butter poi
iticisns that thrive on special privilege.
and also the nice exclusive silk stock
ings' that were against Lincoln in his
day"
Both at Concord earlier in the day and
here tonight the former President ex-
pounded his own peace theories, which
are not in accord with those Of Mr.. Taft.
Roosevelt pointed to his record in the
White House as evidence that he IA
vored peace, but would countenRnce no
weak handling OF a situation that in

Mack, chairman OF the Democratic Ma
tionaI COMMITTEES; Cows. DIX and Wilson,
Mayor Gaynor, Senator O'Gorman. aud
other Democratic leaders in the United
States House and Senate. Practically
all the speakers compared conditions
during Jefferson's life with conditions
to-day. and demanded changes in the
form OF government applied by the Re
publican bosses. Senator O'Gorman, in
his speech. said:
To-day the followers OF Jefferson are
the only united harmonious and coherent
party in the nation. We are on the eve
OF a Presidential election Our party Is
rich in Presidential material, and We
may have preferences for that high Of
fee, but we have no. divisions. Whose

at Baltimore can be assured of the sup
port OF a united. vigorous. and agrees

GaynoF Flags Judges.
Mayor Gaynor responded to a toast:
What Would Jefferson say?" saying:
I'VE know what Jefferson would say.
He opposed all forced constitutional in
terpretations by the courts while he was
living. and said that II allowed to run
their course the Constitution and our
form of government would be Slapped
and mined by the courts in their nat
ural tendency to aggrandize themselves
with power over the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches OF government.
1T is no wonder that we have a state
of unrest, and what is called socialism is
growing. The judges who are thus put
ting themselves in the way Of just and
humane laws say that It is their duty to
protect the populace from themselves.
When and where did we ever confer any
such mission as that upon them? Who
We elect legislatures to carry out our
will by laws"
TarfR Revision Downward.
Gov. Dix declared the paramount issue
Of the approaching campaign to be down
ward revision Of the tariff.
Gov. Wilson, in responding to the toast.
What Jefferson Would Do" said:
Monopoly, private control, the author
ity Of privilege, the concealed mastery
OF a few men cunning enough to rule
without showing their-he would have
at once pronounced the rank weeds which
were sure to choke out all Wholesome
life in the fair garden OF affairs. II We
can detect these things IN our time; II
we can see them and describe them and
touch them as they are. then we know
what Jefferson would have done. He
would have moved against them, some
times directly, sometimes Indirectly, some
times openly, sometimes subtly: but
he merely minced about them,
Dr. struck directly at them, he would have
set systematic war against them at the |
front of all his purpose"

The minority Of the Finance COMMITTEES
Of the Senate made a report yesterday
on the Underwood steel bill Senator
John Sharp Williams submitted the re-
port. All the Democrats signed It ex-
cept Senator Stone, of Missouri, who Is
unavoidabiy absent, but who approves
It Senator La Toilette is also absent.
and his views are not known. He did
not sign the majority report, which was
adverse to the Underwood bill.
The statement of the minority is brief.
Senator Williams reiterates his prefer
ence for ad valorem over specific duties
as applied to manufactured products. He
holds II to be an economic truism that
taxation, to be just should not only be
equal, but should be levied upon articles
according to their value. The minority
adopts the House report and approves It.

Adopt Senate Measure.

The Commissioners yesterday trans

ing the substitution of the GaIlInger uni

that the Gallinger bill be amended SO as
to provide for the Interchange OF trans
fers between car lines which approach
within 300 feet Of each other but which
do not physically intersect.

road out of commission temporarily.
Citizens Of Andersonville coming ID
Americas yesterday were forced to

Trouble again developed at Sweet

where newly made fills of soft dirt
were carried away and the road thus
blocked.
Supt. Christian has an adequate
force of convicts working at these
two points, and if the weather con-
tinues favorable the repairs will soon
be effected, although wet dirt, to a
large extent, has to be used now in
filling up the gaps in the roads
Following the early spring freshets
which did very great damage t
nearly all the five graded roads i,
Sumter county, repairs had just beer
effected, and all highways with tw,
exceptions had been opened again tt
