into the high school at Passaic were
some 800 persOns-all 1t could hold
while outside were twice as many.
The President made a tart speech
which drew loud applause. Leaving Pas
sale. he travelled over to Paterson,
where for miles along the city's princl-
nal streets he was cheered and words OF
announcement were shouted to him. l.
was quite different from the comment OF
sardonic truckman who had to cal
Presidential dust on the road to kcarnJ
earlier in the day. He spat contemptu-
ously as car after car, flag decked,
swirled past him, and remarked:
They make a devil of a lot of fuss
over one man, don't they?
Paterson didn't seem to harbor that
spirit. though. Men, women and all the
children In the city were out to see nm
and cheer him on. He stood up in his
motor car repeatedly. despite the speed
at which it was travelling, and waved
his hat to answer the greetings Of the
populace.
At the armory when he spoke he de-
voted much attention to the arbitration
treaties. which he said Colonel Roose-
welt killed, and the political bosses.

whether in or out of office, to lead the
agitation to place this nation where 1t
belongs, in the van of nations against
war"
President Taft was indignant over
Colonel Roosevelts introducing into the
primary contests a SHAM issue-What
he calls the rule of the people by the
bosses" He said the bosses could rule
the people only with their consent. and Il

The next stop was the Ridgewood
Country Club, where the President adj
dressed an audience ~ two thousand
persons, although he said he'd rather
| play golf than talk politics. Thence he
went to West Orange for an open air
| meeting. on the way the expedition
| passed through Upper Montclsir and the
residence section Of Montclair. The
streets and lawns were filled with peo-
pie Many ~ the houses were trimmed
with flags and bunting and Taft pictures.
! The residents had a great time cheering
the President and he enjoyed it as much
as they.
After the West Orange meeting he
returned to Montclair for dinner, after
ward addressing a meeting there other
night meetings were at Rutherford,
| HackensaCk and Englewood.
Rutherford. town of about five thou
sand inhabitants, was the Presidents
next stop. and there he received the
most enthusiastic welcome Of the even

Mr.. Taft's voice was rather husky from
continued speaking but the hearty re-

persons that filled the City Hall audi

| made several times previously. in an
enthusiastic manner. In closing he de-
cared:

Hackensack was the next point OF
destination, and on the way there the
Presidents party stopped at Lodi, where
the people had erected an illuminated
arch. After n brief address the Journey
to Hackensack was continued. An en-
thusastc crowd awaited the Presidents
arrival at the armory. which he reached
about half-past 10 o'clock. Englewood
was visited next, and from there the
party continued on to Edgewater. This
was the last stopping point OF the even
