ONLY ONE TERM
FOR ONE MAN
TAFT FAV0RS ONE EIGHT YEAR
TERM.
President Finished Massachusetts,
Campaign Yesterday-0bjeets to
Being Condemned on no Better
Testimony that that Given by Col.

4 Associated Press.
Boston, Mass, April president
Taft ended 12 hours campaign OF
eastern Massachusetts in Boston TO-
night As a result his friends are
confident that his second invasion
of the Bay state will bring him many
votes tomorrow.
One Of the most important speeches
was at Lowell. Here he expressed
his regret that it was necessary for
him to mingle in a political contest
and suggested that the presidential
germ should be six or eight years and
the incumbent should be ineligible
for reelection.
No man has the right to mis-
represent another to get himself in
office no matter how humble that
man might be-" he shouted in his
Lowell address.
Condemn me if youu will he
said concluding, but condemn me
by other witnesses than Theodore
Roosevelt"
Both Taft and Roosevelt leaders
expressed confidence tonight OF the
result of tomorrow's primaries
The Taft league makes the claim
that "a of Sc Massachusetts dele
gates will 90 10 Taft
The Roosevelt leaders claim the
state for the Colonel by substan-
tial plurality.
That there is some undercurrent
OF feeling for La Toilette is admitted.
On the democratic side the spec
ulation centers in the contest be-
tween Clark and Wilson.

Mayor Cole attributed yesterday
mornings editorial to an error in
Judgment and intimated thar The
Herald did not know what II was
talking about
Mr. Cobolini said he Wished to in
form The Herald that every dollar
Of the money was to be spent for paw
ing and not for sweeping and re-
pairing.
Along the same lines Mr. Black
shear said that the city could not
make fish out OF one and flesh out Of
the other by discriminating in favor
of the property owners where there
was a street railway.
Mr.. Kirk said that the people did
not understand why they should pay
one-half and the car company only
one-third.
Mr.. Cole said that these questions
arise from an ignorance of the law;
thar the city could legally charge
the property owners three-fourths O..
the paving instead of one-half, while
they could only charge street rail
way company for the paving of the
space between lis rails and two feet
on either side. Mr. Cole said that
he would be willing to show anyone
a copy Of the law on the subject.
Mr.. Blackshear said that we must
admit the power OF the press and
thai if the press did not understand,
ii did not cost them anything to ex-
plain.
The Paving Assessment
The ordinance assessing the cost
of he street paving against owners
of property abutting on the paved
streets, and also against the street
railway and the St. l.. B. & NJ. Rail
way, was read and adopted. The as
sessments are as follows:
The street railway and railroad
companies each to pay s2.76 pei
square yard; the property owners OF
the main streets $409 and those OF
the cross streets S2.S7.
Six Per Cent on Deferred Payment
when the matter OF the interes
TO be charged the property owner
on deferred payments on the pavinl
assessments was brought up. Alder
man Cobolini said that. as the pay
ment OF the notes was so much bet
ter assured than the ordinary note
he thought six per cent was suffic

I Cured in this opinion Every othe
member of the council voiced tn
y same opinion and the rate Of six pc

Mr.. Cobolini said there was n

who are expected to take thes

Mr.. Windle, after paying me very higl
compliment, says:

Mr.. Wlndle, after paying me very high
compliment, says:
There are two things upon which Mr.. Watson
cannot write without passion and prejudice
On the negro question he is so rabid and radi-
cal that he makes Ben Tillman look like the pat.
ron saint of the black race.
On the subject of Catholicism, Tom is so Bit
ter biased and brutal that he would easily pass
for the daddy of all the A. P. AS
The charge he makes against the Catholic
Church is serious, whether false or true.
II the Catholic Church is NOT "the greatest
menace to liberties and our civilization" Mr.
Watson is guilty of fomenting a religious con-
h1ct, and trying to resurrect animosities that
have slept in their graves for decades
Mine adversary links together my position
On two vastly important subjects.
If [ can demonstrate that [ am right as is
one Of these, it will be easier for me to con-
vince you that am right, on the other
Really, thank Mr.. Windle for saying,
practically, that / am as wrong on the Negro
question, as upon that of Romanism This
assertion at once discloses Mr.. Windle's atti-
tude as toward Anglo-Saxon civilization
What IS my position as to the African?
That he should have, to the fullest extent,
the absolute rights of man-life, liberty,
the acquisition and enjoyment of property,
free speech, free press and freedom of con-
science.
