l Beverly. Mass. September 2S.--Presdeni I Taft made direct plea today to repub- | flcans to vote the republican ticket in No venber in order to defeat the third ,oarty and MT. Roosevelt Ii was the flrst pre- pared political address he has made since his speech accepting the Chicago noml- nation. It was delivered from a tempoi- ary stand erected on the grounds at Bar ranatta, before the Republican club of Essex county, and hundreds of residents Of Beverly.
 The speaker devoted particular atten- ton to the third party for the first time since its formation and mentioned Gov ernor Wilson several times.
 There is one issue in this campaign of even greater Fundamental and permanent importance to the government and to the people than the tariff and prosperity" said the President beginning his attack on the third party. That is the preser- vation of the institutions of civil liberty as they were handed down to us by our forefathers

 The charges are contained in a mem- orandum submitted by MT. Fordyce and are based on testimony adduced al hear ings in New York and elsewhere in the litigation involving the right of the Standard Oil to name officers and d. rectors of the Waters Pierce oil com pany.
 ESQ far as we have proceeded with our testimony declared MT Fordyoe, i've have shown that every subsidiary |comnany is absolutely dominated and |controlled by the majority owners of the Standard oil company of New Jer- sey and that the same men who were put in these subsi .lary companies at the time of dissolution by the leading men in the New Jersey company were all reelected at the suDseduert annual meeting by the proxies held by the principal stockholders of the Stand ard Oil company of New Jersey We have also shown that there has been no real or substantial difference in the method of doing business of any of these companies since the dissolution.

Third Party Has Any Principles

"A third party has split off from the republican party, not for any one princi- pie, or indeed on any principle at all, but merely to gratify personal ambition and vengeance, and in the qualification of that personal ambition and vengeance, every new theory, and fad. some of them good, some of them utterly preposterous and impracticable, some of them as socialistlc as anything that has been proposed in the countries of Europe, many having no relation to national Jurisdiction or policy, have been crowded Into a platform to tempt the votes of nhusiastic supporters of each of these proposed reforms This new party is not united on any cohesive principle and Is only kept together by the remarkable personality of it's leader. Were he 10 die the party would 20 to pieces for the cause. of which so many glibly speak. is utterly incapable of defini- ton in view of the crazy quilt character of the platform But there is runnin, through the entire declared policy of the third party an entire willingness to de- stroy every limitation of constitutional representative government in order that by short cuts these various reforms in- consistent as they may be, and many of them are with each other may be ac- complished by the decree of a beneyo- lent despotism, to be supported by the ac- claim of hero worshipping. emotional. un- discriminating. superfcially minded and non thinking people

Chief Purpose to Defeat Taft

Fortunately there is not the slightest chance of success of the third party It's chief purpose is to defeat the reptih- lican party and even in that there is now every possibility that if will be dlsap- pointed. If has been suggested that re. publicans should vote The democratic ticket in order to defeat MT. Roosevelt Men who do this will act most biindl-. Tor their votes. though necessary to de- feat MT. Roosevelt. will aid the cause Of the democracy. with whom they have no sympathy, especially in the policy of tar- fir for revenue only bringing disturb ance of business and of prosperity
 There is no need of our being put on the defensive. The flood of unjust de. nunciations. to which the republican party has been subjected. has no real founda- ton or justification. It Is we who shot.tl be in the forefront affirming our right to continue to represent the people in authority in government because of wha. we have done and because of the as- sufance by what we have done or wha.

As soon as he reached the Exchange he peered through window and sbeheld the crowd of the curious. There is no doubt but that 1 k. was com2lmented. He smiled with sease of keen satisfaction, rubbed his hands violently together shook lis head eTeefuliy and gave vent to an ejaculation Indica i've of uiprise and sat tsfaction. It is probable that al that moment q delightful dream of breaking the solid south fitted through his brain.
 Jim Hickey. proprietor of the Exchange, was perfectly willing that the presidential asrirant congratulate himself on the crowd which had gathered. but at the same time he Twas the prey of poignant fear lest his special breakfast would lose the requisite of warmth Therefore, with rare diplomacy he disturbed the aforementioned dream of Teddy and car ried him a willing captive to the private breakfast room, which room, incidentally. sis sometimes used for dinner and supper a. we'll immediately, in Contemplating the breakfast of a chicken, cooked in rare ..oId southern styie.'

Charmed by Child

Charmed by Child | Following the meal there were two n- l teresting episodes which preceded the delivery of the address to the public One was the appearance of beautiful little lady, scarcely past her seventh year of age overburdened with American Beauty | roses and the joyous smiles of childhood. As soon as T. R. perceived her, he arose, for full well he knew that her tribute was an honest one. And as he arose there semed to fall from him, as the wasted shell of young butterfly, the cold ex- terior, the impetuous desire for haste and precipitancy which are his natural char acteristcs. The little lady was Mary Francis Hughes, daughter Of Mir. and Mrs. J. W. Hughes, Jr., and granddaughter of pr. Hughes and Capt. Reuben r. kolb. She made charming picture, tflis beauti- ful child overladen with roses and timid smiles. T. R. ran 10 greet her. You little darling! he said, fond.ing her all the while. In the meantime he relieved her of her roses As he retired, however, Dr. Hughes exclaimed.
