Washington, May 12.--Unable to
cross the continent to campaign in
California, President Taft sent by
telegraph to the republicans of that
state his arguments for support in the
presidential primary election on
Tuesday.
The presidents telegram was sent
to Col Charles NJ. Hammond man
ager of the Taft forces in san Fran
CISCO, and a brother-in-law Of Col
onel Roosevelt.
President Taft reviewed the
achievements OF his administration
and asserted that Colonel Roosevelt
was not giving him square deal, but
was appealing to class hatred and
forcing sham issues. The telegram,
in full, follows:
"On the eve of your presidential
primary in California | venture to
appeal to the republican men and
women who exercise the franchise to
consider fairly and well the legisla-
tive and executive achievements of
my administration, especially those
that have affected California, and say
whether they do not deserve approval
by the people Of California.
"In the matter OF the tariff, the Pan
anna Pacific exposition. conservation,
in the increase in our international
and Philippine trade, in the employ
ers' liability act, in the more drastic
and complete regulation of Interstate
commerce., in tns postal savings
bank bill in the mining bu-
reau bill for The health and wealth
of the miners; in the establishment
of tariff commission. in the change
from a deficit of S50,000,0 900 to a sur
plus of $4,000 900, in the corporation
tax, the childrens bureau bill for the
health and welfare of children in
the appointment to the children's bu-
reau of Miss Julia c. Lathrop, one of
the greatest women of America; In the
making, of peace treaties with Eng
land and France, which have been
emasculated through the influence of
Mr.. Roosevelt and his campaign man
ager, Senator Dixon, and the demo-
cratic members of the senate; in the
effective prosecution of the work of
building and completing the Panama
canal, / submit a record is formed that
entities this administration to the sup
port of the republican men and wom-
en- of California and that 1t Is pro-
gressive in the highest degree.
THE last important measure that
/ have urgently reported to congress
which has passed the senate and Is
now pending in the house of repre-
is the workmens compensa-
ton bill which changes altogether the
policy of the law toward the liability
of the employer to the employe of in
terstate railroads and gives an insur-
ance for every employe against the
dangers of his employment by re-
quiring the employer to indemnify the
against injury received in the
not brought about by his
will and voluntary account and fixes
a reasonable compensation graduated
according to regular tables and pro-
portioned to the extent of the injuries
and the earning capacity of the en-
ploye injured.
In the opposition which Mr.. Roose-
Welt Is now making to this administra-
ton he is not giving me square deal
as have shown by undoubtable rec
ord proof He is appealing to class
hatred and forcing sham issues In such
a way that his success would be real
1etriment to the public interest and a
dangerous departure from wise ira
iition which he himself has recogniz-
ed, that limits citizen to two terms
