That Tradition Should
be Held To
OPPOSES COLONEL
ON OTHER GROUNDS

CAMDEN, N J., May 24.-President
Taft, after a busy round of events IN
Philadelphia, crossed the Delaware
last night and in an address here
which was frequently interrupted by
cheers, fired the opening gun in his
four-days campaign through New
Jersey for the delegates from that
State to the Republican National Con-
vention at Chicago.
In the presence of soldiery and of a
throng of citizens which filled the
Third Regiment Armory the President
reviewed the achievements of his ad-
ministration, answered again what he
called the unfounded charges and ac-
cusations of Colonel Theodore Roose-
Welt and finally described the peril to
popular government in the shattering
Of the Third Term" tradition.
This latter portion OF the Presi-
dents address was the most effective
in that Mr.. Taft intimated that the
.permanence of the popular rule whicf
the people of this country have haC
for 125 years largely depended upol
the absence of Zone man rule"
Third Term Tradition.
The Presidents discussion Of tn
third term" tradition was preceded
by his statement that he is actuate'
by no personal ambition in seeking
second term in office. He said he coul,
get along with one term and thei
brought kindly laughter 10 his hearers
when he added that mot many mel

Mr.. Taft told of how those conspic
nous Presidents. Washington. Jeffer
son. Jackson. Lincoln and Mckinley
had recognized the tradition in prac
tice and in speech: how that tradition
had been preserved in the case @
Grant. Then he said that Mr. Roose
welt had approved the idea in 1870
and 1908, and the President declare,
that he thought the Colonels judg
ment was sounder in 1904 and 190
than now.
Continuing, he said: Depart from
that tradition and you have thirC

the barriers are all broken down ans
one man becomes essential to the
country. This republic cannot be de-
pendent upon one man. The minut,
