you vote fer Mr.. Taft you vote for
these men," said Col Roosevelt here,
tonight. after referring to Senators
Lorimer, Penrose. Guggenheim and
Galliner. He declared that the
President had practically nothing
in his campaign back OF him, OUT
side OF two Or three states, except
the support he received from these
men and their like and from the
great sinister special interest which
stands behind the bosses"
Col. Roosevelt devoted a large
part OF his speech to things Presi-
dent Taft had been saving during
the day at the other end Of the
state.
Roosevelt Gets Messages.
At intervals during his journey
across the state the Colonel received
Geographic reports of the Presi
dents speeches and In the latter part
of the day he entered upon long-dis-
lance debate by replying to Mr.
Taft's statements. ts
Col. Roosevelt, said the President,
had asserted that the Colonel was
stirring up class hatred. This Colo
mel Roosevelt denied.
1.-THE talk that | am stirring up
class hatred is nonsense" he de-
clared
Berates Taft Policies.
In this same connection he said:
IF Taft's policy of fiabby indie
cision and of helpless acquiesenee In
the wron g-doing of the crooked
boss Is permitted to continue, there
ideally will grow up lclass hatred
In this country. There will grow up
q very uncomfortable and very ugly
feeling of discomfort with political
social and Industrial conditions"
Col. Roosevelt made 1t clear that
he did not believe the result of his
campaign hinged on tomorrow's
primaries.
Mind YOU" he said, II believe we
can win this fight without Massa
chusetts, but do not want Massa
chusetts to lag behind. ] want It L
