to hunt through my speech and see
whether yon can find any stirring up OF

with trickery. with political dishonesty
With cheating with oppression.
Il have. it is true. preached abhorrence
Of Mr. l.orimer and of all that for which
MIR. LorimeP stands, and of the kind OF
crooked politics and crooked finance
which in combination are responsible fol
the production of Mr.. Lorimer., But a,

Does Mr. Taft regard me as stirring
up class hatred because | demand that
he state and the nation cooperate tt
make the conditions of life better fol
wageworkers? The talk that | am stir,
ring up class hatred is nonsense. Or
the contrary. ! am advocating actioi
which Will be the most effective kind OF
antidote to class hatred, whereas IL Mr.
Taft's policy of tlabby indecision and OF
helpless acquiescence in the wrongdoing
IF the crooked boss and the crooked finan
eier is permitted to continue there will
grow up class hatred in the country
which will really stir up very uncon
Portable and very ugly feeling of discon
