Toledo, O., May 17.-'I've got
tired Of being lied about and held
| up to the country as having violated
every rule of conduct when | am not
conscious that | have violated any,
shouted President Taft here, tongh
in the course of speech to a large
crowd. Tafts speech was one Of
the most bitter and one of the most
plain spoken that he has made since
he began to answer charges OF Col
} eRoosevelt,
The President bluntly charged
that Walter Brown, one of the
Roosevelt leaders here, had ceased
to be Taft supporter because the
President refused to use his recon
mendations for judicial appoint
ments. He declared that Dan Han
mas opposition came as Conse-
quence of indictments against Hanna
by the Taft department of justice.
Names Still kankle.
"The memory Of the names Mr.
Roosevelt has called me" said the
President, "still fingers in my ears
He has Used all eplthets he co.dl
think Of and all the names in tn,
calenda'. such oe no President t.
ever been subjected to by man who
has had two terms in that office"
Taft called Roosevelt's tariff views
ridiculous and labels his scheme for
a tariff that would make division
of profits between the laborer and
the employer "catch penny phrases.
Neither Mr. Roosevelt nor any
one else could draw such bill. He
never tried to revise the tariff"

night, and declined to be seen.

TAFT CONSTITUTIONAL
GOVERNMENT IDEA
BASED ON NONSENSE

Columbus, o., May 17.-President
Taft's theory of constitutional gov
ernment, said Col. Roosevelt, to-
night, is that 1t is "a government
administered by Messrs. Lorimer,
Guggenheim, Barnes, Gallinger and
their like, in dessance of the will of
the people, that is is government
under which the people are defraud-
ed of their rights by these men"
The former President said Taft
was mistaken in asserting that the
success Of the cause, for which he
stands, now seems assured The
Chicago convention, he continued,
will not be controlled by fraud and
force"
These statements were made by
Roosevelt in his speech, tonight, at
Memorial hall. During the day he
travelled across southeastern Ohio.
He said tonight that he should re-
ceive the support Of every Ohio Re-
publican who wants progressive.
II came into this fight" he said,
"only because it had become evident
that unless l did so there was not
the slightest chance of any Republi-
can winning the nomination. AS a
matter of fact the reactionaries are
not primarily for Mr. Taft at all.
Yesterday Mr.. Taft said he be-
lieved he would win the nomination,
because he believed that the Chica-
go convention will be organized by
the friends of constitutional govern
ment. ask you to remember just
who these friends of constitutional
government are, on whom Mr.. Taft
relies. They are his campaign man
ager Mr.. Mckinley, Mr.. Lorimer,
Mr.. Penrose, Mr.. Guggenheim, Mr..
Evans, Mr.. Gallinger, Mr.. Barnes
and Mr.. Keating, so I could 60 on in
definitely.
"When Mr.. Taft says that the
Chicago convention will be controll-
ed by friends of constitutional gov
ernment, he means that 1t will be
controlled by such men as Lorimer,
Barnes and Penrose and by the dele
gates fraudulently seated from
states like Washington, where they
would be seated, not because they
represent the people, but because
they do not"

the fact that It was slightly under the

change. Against the increase OF approx

ciqlly the December option. was under

loss OF sale. The visible increased S1,Dl
