ROOSEVELT OPINION OF PRES
IDENT TAFT.
Taft Favors a Lorimer- Guggenheim
Government.
81 hope you will remember from
now on just what Mr.. Taft means by a
constitutional government. Mr.. Taft 4
theory of constitutional government is
that it is a government administered by
Messrs. Lorimer, Guggenheim, Barnes
Gallinger, and their like in defiance of
the will of the people and imposed by
them on the people; that it is Govern
ment under which the people are de-
frauded of their rights by these men.

Jailbirds Support Taft.
"* / am against Mr.. Taft
because Mr.. Taft has proved faithless
to the cause of the American people. -
In his speech tonight Col. Roosevelt
said: Yesterday he president Taft
in his own person and through his pri-
vate secretary made number of bit
ter, and incidentally, untruthful person
al attacks upon me-
The Colonel said that if Mr.. Taft
ho %
weekly magazine he would tind name
after name of men among his southern
delegates and supporters who had been
indicted and even served terms of i'm
prisonment. New York Tri.

Taft Wobbler.
"Mr. Taft promptly began to wobble
Gin the Brownsville case) and to show
urgent need that somebody should sup
ply the strength and firmness Of pur-
pose which he lacked. He explained to
me on various occasions that his request
Ito rescind the order dismissing the
rioting negroes) was due to his appre-
hension as to the political effect of the
order. New York Tribune, May 20.
Party Repudiated Taft.
"The great majority of the Repub
lican Party have unequivocably repu-
dated Mr.. Taft. If the wishes of the
Republican voters could have been Civ
en- fair expression Mr.. Taft would have
but corporal s guard in the conven-
ton. Under these circumstances it is
fitting and appropriate that Mr. Barnes
should be chosen to head the Taft fore
es at Chicago in the effort to override
the expressed wish of the rank and file
of the party and to give the nomination
to the candidate whom the party has ex-
plicitly and beyond all question repu-
dated. New York Tribune, June f.
Mr.. Taft's Words and Deeds.
"Mr. Taft at first denied that he
represented the bosses. His denial was
of little consequence, for his deeds be-
lied his words. But doubt if at pres
ent he would repeat the denial As it
has become constantly more and more
evident that the people were against
him, he has more and more undisguis-
eddy thrown himself into the arms of
the bosses.
Here in Chicago at this moment he
has never had one chance of success,
save what was given him by the ac-
tions of Messrs. Crane, Barnes, Penrose,
Murphy, Guggenheim, Mulvane, Smoot,
New, and their associates in cheating
the people out of their rights.
"Mr. Taft need never again ex-
plain what he means by government by
a representative part of the people.
He has shown in actual practice that he
means government Of the people by
politicians who shall misrepresent them
in the selfish interest of someone else. -
New York Times, June IS. j
Republican Party No Place for Self
Respecting People.
As a final result the fraudulent con-
ventiOn then named. a new fraudulent
to which it gave absolute
power over the next Republican ma
tional conventions; so that the official
heads of the Republican Party, having
control of the party machin-
cry, have carefully provided in ad-
vance that four years hence the Re-
publican voters shall be delivered
bound hand and foot to the political
bosses. The rank and file of the Re-
publican party have absolutely no
chance of regaining control over the
party; the party has been definitely
and finally brought by theft and fraud
lnder the control of the bosses. No
man should stay within
he republican party under these condi-
ions.
