Taft Almnst Listle.s

Elizabeth. y. j., May 2i.-Swinging
again into the aggressive humor which
characterized his Ohio fight. President
Taft was whisked by automobile
through half a dozen New Jersey towns
late to-day. In the afternoon he
spoke in Somervile. Boundbrook,
Plainticld. Westhcld. Garwood. Gran
fcrd and Roselle. In the morning he
talked at Remington. Lembertvilc.
Stockton and Frenchvlle.
During the morning the President
was almost listless. He defended his
administration. but did not attack
Colonel Roosevelt at any time. In the
afternoon. however, he waXed agrees
sive AT " estficld, y. j.. he said:
Il do not come here for the pur-
pcse OF getting another term. or for
the purpose of clearing my reputation
gainst Mr.. Roosevelt's unfounded ac-
cusations. because 1 could wait about
that. I could wait until the mists OF
prophets OF undertaking had passed
and until the people could look at the
facts as they are. and as the future
should disclose them, and then l could
set along without another term"
AT Plainfield nc said. after speaking
of the tariff bill:
"Now. those things. think. have
| contributed a good deal to the reason
able prosperity that we have had for
the past three years. and a change as
II that from the somewhat hard times
that we had during the last two years
of the last administration. One thing
found when I came in was that the
government under Mr.. Roosevelt was
running behind. The last year result :
co i'll a deficit of s50.0O0.o00"
Regarding the passage of the min
ing bureau bill he said:
That bill has passed. have stat
cd that as a bill OF my administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt took me to task and said
i. was his bill. He has that power of
centring upon himself th= thought that
he is equal TO anything-t developed
last Saturday night in Cleveland in
the statement that he proposed to be
nominated AT Chicago and he did not
propose to have anybody take the nomi-
nation away from him, and II he did.
though he left the convention. they
would be boilers, and whyc Because.
he said. 4 am the Republican party or
Ganization.'
MY friends, i do not cite that by
way of ridicule. I only cite it TO show
the character OF the man. and to what
he has developed in these recent years
how little restraint he has upon his
expression and upon his purpose. and
! say to you in all conviction that
We're he allowed to hold a third term
in violation of wise tradition. intoXicat-
ed as he would be With the sense OF
power coming from the comforting up-
on him of an office and an honor that
has been denied to all the most Illus
trious Presidents OF the country. tit
would not be safe TO have him there
under these conditions, and those who
love the republic must see to ii that
no such risk adheres to IT."

McHarg, "the Roosevelt strength will
