TEDDY Drunk With POWER
ROOSEVELT WOULD NOT BE SAFE
IN THE WHITE HOUSE THE
PRESIDENT SAYS.
ADVICE ON RAISING KIDS
Politics, War, Cow-punching and How
To Raise Children are Some of the
Things Teddy Discussed.

JERSEY CITY, n. j.. May 24.-"I
have enough delegates 10 renominate
me at the Chicago convention" That
was President Taft's declaration today
TO score or more republicans, who
met him at the luncheon given in his
honor by State Senator Freinghuy-
sen of New Jersey, at Somersville.
The presidents second campaigning
day through New Jersey was one of
the hardest he has ever put in, For
more than five hours he motored over
dusty New Jersey roads talked TO
Thousands of people and kept up his
attacks on Theodore Roosevelt.
The crowds that met the president
We're large and fairly demonstratlve.
His "commutor" audiences We're un-
usually enthusiastic, and although he
started out In the morning with but
little Of the fighting spirit he showed
In ohio, he warmed up as the day
grew older and before he made his
last speech here tonight he was I'm
his old stride and was talking about
Mr. Roosevelt I'm every speech.
Made Typical Speech.
1T is a very unwlse and dangerous
thing TO depart from that wise tra
dition that limits a president to two
terms" said the president in a typi-
eel speech at Plainfield late today.
ut is especially unwise with a man
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's type with his ca
pacity for appealing to the people, his
ability TO arouse the clements that are
disturbing in the community, preach
ing doctrines Of discomfort and with
Fail ttFlfl
sound, unconstitutional views, and
with his impatience of legal restraint,
1t would be a calamity to put him in
the White House again"
Intoxicated With Power.
"He has that power of centerlng
upon himself the thought that he is
equal to anything. 1t developed Sat
urday night in Cleveland when he
said I am the republican party organ
iZation.'"
MY friends do not cite that by
way of ridicue. I only cite It to
show the character of the man and to
what he has developed in recent years
and say that We're he allowed to hold
third term In violation Of that wise
tradition, intoxicated as he would be
with the sense Of power coming from
the comforting upon him Of an office
and an honor that has been denied
to all the most illustrious presidents
of the country, IT would not be safe to
have him there under these condi-
tlons. Those who love the republic
must see to 1t that no such risk ad-
heres to It."
Tomorrow Mr.. Taft will motor for
more than II hours through New Jer-
sey.
Going TO Beat Politicians.
CAMDEN, N. j., May 24.-"We are
going to beat the politicians right out
in New Jersey next Tuesday" said
Colonel Roosevelt at the close OF his
second days campaign in this state.
"When we got through with them in
PENNSYLVANIA, there wasn't enough
left of them to put into a coal scuttle.
1t will be about the same thing here"
Colonel Roosevelt made a swing
through New Jersey today and the
crowds which turned out to hear him
We're large and enthusiastic. In some
places the combined efforts OF police
men and firemen were Of no avail in
keeping them back. The people
swarmed about him, cheering and
struggling to get close enough to
shake hands with him. At times the
colonel was obliged to pitch in with
both arms to fight his way out.
Did Not Mention Taft.
Colonel Roosevelt did not mention
the name of President Taft during
the days trip. In Camden, where he
spoke tonight, he replied to state
ment which Mr.. Taft was reported to
have made.
To
for a referendum on judicial decisions
were adopted" said the colonel, there
would be nothing to prevent a legisla-
ture from repeating the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution and disfranchisng
the negroes. 1t is sheer nonsense.
You might just as well speak of re-
calling the vote by which the thirteen
original states adopted the consttu-
tion.
Suppose that the income tax
amendment to the constitution is
adopted. Does Mr.. Taft think that
two or three states would recall that
amendment after it had become a part
of the constitution. IT is difficult to
reply seriously to such nonsense"
Mixed Things Up.
In his other speeches Col. Roosevelt
mixed politics with various other
things, some of which bore no rela-
tion to the issues of the campaign.
He told stories of his experiences in
the COW country" and during the
Spanish American war
1T wasn't much Of war; he said,
but 1t was all the war there was and
1t wasn't my fault that there was not
enough to go around"
He gave advice to parents as to the
proper way to bring up children and
urged the people TO practice the
square deal"
Colonel Roosevelt will leave Trenton
early tomorrow and go across the
state. In the evening he will speak
In Elizabeth,
