Blames Tsft's "Impuisive Judgment"
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
~"Impulsive judgment" to which Presi
dent Taft assigns the action of the
voters In the Ohio primaries, is an &C
cusation justly to be resented. While he
hasn't said SO, we must assume that, ac-
cording to Mr.. Taft's deliberate" judg-
ment, the people of New Jersey have ex-
hlbited even more '1mpulsive judgment
than their Ohio friends.
The fact is that the most ~stupendous
examples of ~'1mpulsive judgment" have
been furnished by Mr.. Taft himself.
His impulsive judgment led him to say
that he could receive the nomination at
Chicago without any help from New
Jersey" Now he has a chance to 20
ahead and do 1t.
His impulsive Judgment led him to
resort to oil sorts of anathemas against
the mar who made him President, accus-
ing him of "inciting class hatred and
breeding discomfort" These criticisms
have been turned into assets by Roose-
welt and nave left only disagreeable liza
bilities In the final accounting.
His impulsive Judgment led him to con-
nive with Cannon, Payne, Aldrich, Pen
rose, Guggenheim, Evans, Barnes, and,
Roosevelt adds, .'Lorimer and the rest
In hope of their support, which now is
decidedly conspicuous by It's absence. IL
a man appears weak these men are not
the ones who are going to stand back of
him n give him a lift. They are too
shrewd to line up with an inevitably I'M
successful candidate.
His impulsive judgment led him to
plead with Root to take the stump In
Ohio, but did Root do It?
His. impulsive Judgment has left him
forsaken, forlorn and almost forgotten,
and is 1t any wonder that many of the
delegates to the Chicago circus, while
attracting as little attention as possible,
are preparing to crawl under the Roose.

President Taft has not added one jot or
little to his dignity, popularity or his
cause by allowing his impulsive Judgment
to lead him in this campaign. He knows
1t now and so do the people.
This commonwealth cannot be guided
or beguiled by the impulsive Judgment
of anyone, and the people who give ex-
preston to their preference at the polls
cannot be bullyragged with charges of
impulsive Judgment. not even by the
President Of the United States. from
whom such charges are the least war
ranted and the most unbecoming. The
people won't stand for 1t. That's all.
R~ooseveltian popularity is proverbial.
He has endeared himself to the American
people, who have enjoyed his unique per.
s~onality and trusted his sound judgment.
Can Taft be so simple-minded as to
think or hope he can stem the Roose-
veltian tide by giving vent to harsh words
of criticism against Roosevelt and the
intelligent people who follow him? His
display Of impulsive Judgment would lead
one to think so. G. NJ. W.
