icies of Previous Administration
Says Referendum and Recell Of

ministrati n as a complete fulfill
ment of all republican reform
pledges in 1908 and a stric contin-
uation of the policies inauguratad
by President Roosevelt, Secretary
Nagle Of the Department of Com
mcrcc and Labor, made a vigorous
attack upon the advocates of such
governmental changes as The initia-
tive, referendum ana recall
Nagle declared that public men
are attempting to confuse the public
mind; that they are busy making
promises to which they can not be
successfully held: that the recall of
judges would make trimmers of men
and deter men of independence and
capacity from accepting positions Of
trust.
Nagle denounced the charge that
Taft had abandoned the principles
Of the last administration. but de-
clared that Taft's efforts t. carry out
he pledges of the party had brought
no aid from his republican critics
He declared that the party had all
ways been progressive, but that now
we are asked TO prove cur allegiance
TO progressive principles by jumping
off the political horizon.
