President Taft, in his Ohio campaign, corrects
a mistake which he made in Massachusetts; that
is, he gets in early and in vigorous earnest Ohio
votes in primaries May 18th Ohio is the presi-
dents home state He tells his fellow-ctizens,
neighbors and friends that all he asks is justice
at their hands. That they will give him their
votes have doubt. He has fully established
the unfairness and unruthfulness of Colonel Roose
welt towards himself and he does not mince words
in driving home the charge of Roosevelt's fasity,
and also the truth of the matters in controversy;
and he will not allow Colonel Roosevelt to perform
in this ease the very adrot and common tactics
in which Roosevelt is such adept, of Obscurng
the issue where the is against him. and en-
deavoring TO attract attention to something else
1t has been very much the custom of Colonel
Roosevelt, whenever he was cornered on one prop
ositiOn to carry the argument to some other prop
osition where he hoped to have advan-
tageous position than he had in the one which
failed him. But President Taft will not permit
any shifting evasion; he drives the facts home
and it will be necessary for Colonel Roosevelt to
meet the actual made. AS the president
says he is of moderate words; but he
wakes indignant and has to restrain himself in
plying to any who says that he is not in favor
of popular government. Any one who says that
says ~hat is not true.
In one of his speeches, President Taft devotes
his attention to the matter of political BOSSES ex-
posing the Roosevelt pretense that where a man
of influence is for Roosevelt, he is merely polit-
zeal leader and good ciizen, but where another
man of political influence is for Taft he is ga
boss, and occupies reprehensible position. AS
a matter of fact, both must be treated on precisely
the same grounds and there is no evading the
point which the president makes in this respect
To say that boss is relieved from all odium of a
boss when he supports Roosevelt, but must stand
for all the odium of boss-ship when he sup
ports Taft, is the veriest chld's play, begging
e H. nsok h IL,
Again, referring to the trust question, Presi-
dent Taft showed his consistent course and Roose-
velts inconsistency He pointed anew to the Per-
kns case, when. under Roosevelt's administration,
prosecution of the Harvester trust was threat
ened and when Mr.. Perkins wrote Roosevelt a
letter stating that the Morgan interests would
fight him if he began the prosecution against the
Harvester trust showing that under this threat
Roosevelt directed that the prosecution be not
brought The president pointed out the incon-
sistency of charging him with unfaithfuness to
the law in this respect and generating Roose-
Welt who poses the special champion of the
people against the interests trusts
President Taft put the matter in a nutshell
when he said 81 ask you il the circumstances
were reversed with Roosevelt proneness to i'm
pute improper motives where Roosevelt would put
me under thsse conditions 4" That is the point
exactly Suppose that any trust suit had been
threatened by the Taft administration. and rep.
