New York, June 2o.-An employe Of

attack seemed to fairly tear his in-

at Ampere cover twenty-five acres.
and the employe had to walk through
several Of the big shops. So exhaust

have no doubt that it is kept in as
good condition as the circumstances
will admit of. and yet it is really
loathsome and disgusting. We hope
that the subject Of a new city hall

the matter be presented to our city

they cannot avoid considering It. IL
IS true that our taxes arc already very

now In the service we're appointees OF
Mr.. Roosevelt and as a natural result
a large percentage of them favored the
former President for denomination.
No man, he said, had been dismissed
because he favored Mr. Roosevelt and
there was every indication that in the
Chicago convention the influence OF
the Federal officeholders would be less
effective for any one candidate than
ever before IN the history Of the party.
Mr.. Taft said MIR. Roosevelt was not
only enjoying the support of many
Federal officeholders, but the patron
age of a number of State Governors,
which was being used for him with
business-like manipulation that lacks
nothing in effectiveness"
Dealing with MIR. Roosevelt
charges that in his administration Mr.
Taft had deserted the progressives
and become a reactionary, the Presi
dent said II was on Mr. Roosevelt''

President Roosevelt. he had an inter

Joe" agreed he would help the Presi-
dent redeem the promises of the Re
publican platform.
Speaking OF the Payne Tariff bill
Mr. Taft again defended his course IN
signing il and declared that to have
vetoed It would have broken up the
Republican party.
Has Mr.. Roosevelt ever condemned
the Payne bill?" he asked. Does he
say he would not have signed it if il
had been presented 10 him under con-
ditions that ! had to meet? OF course
I conferred with the regular Republt
can leaders in the Senate and tbs
House, and through them we redeemed
the promises Of the Republican plat
form to an extent that no politica
