President Taft's FIRST day OF his final
campaign swing through Ohio, which
came to an end with a speech here
tonight. was marked by the most pro-
nounced verbal assaults upon Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, TO which Mr..
Taft so far has given public utterance.
In speeches that were filled with In
lignant attack, that bubbled over
with uncomplimentary adjectives, Mr.
Taft discharged his oratory at hts
predecessor in the white house.
He started out upon his last cam
paign TO urge the people OF Ohio TO
support him in the primaries OF May
81. at Marietta. in a cold hard rain.
which kept up for several hours but
which finally fed before the sun.
Late to-day when he spoke at Den
nison. Urichsville, st. Clairsville. Bel
iairs aud Bridgeport. the weather was
fair and the crowds came out in sum-
meT attire.
At many points the President touch
ed the steel manufacturing district OF
Ohio which his political advisers said
was opposed to his denomination, the
crowds however. were large enough
and frequently demonstrative enough
10 make his Ohio friends feel bit
optimistic.
Hits Roosevelt Often.
Although in substance all Of the
dozen speeches the President made to-
day we're much alike those he deliv-
cred in Massachusetts and Maryland.
hey differed widely at times In the
words used TO score Mr.. Roosevelt.
These we're unusual and piquant and
save his hearers opportunity for ap-
plause and laughter which seldom
Jailed to come
one OF the attacks on Mr.. Roosevelt
which raised a laugh delivered at
Dennison late to-day ran like this:
Il think IL would zoe dangerous to
put a man with Mr. RoOsevelt's pres
ent constitutional views and with the
intoxication he would necessarily feel
by reason OF getting something that
all the great presidents have never
gotten. IL would not be safe TO put
him in the White House again.
"He says the reason the American
people are going 10 elect him is be.
cause he Is necessary for the job. That
Is the description he gives. Well. !
hope the American people will not
ihink that he Is necessary for the Job
? want 10 call your attention 10 what
hat Job Is which he proposes. In
the millennium that he is going 10
bring about when he gets into ONCE.
All bosses are going TO disappear. pol.
iticians are going 10 be fewer. and he
is going 10 have a finger I'm every
community In every state. IN every
county and everything is going 10
heaven.
Nay Want Life Job.
"If that be true. the millennium ir
coming and that Job he Il 10 do.
q going 10 lake longer than -four
years. 7 beg of you 70 ask him W.T.
ne comes here whether be would take
