Declares Ex.presideni's Charge in
Third Term Matter Shows He
Cannot be Believed

| Boston, April 25.-President Taft
tonight cast aside his policy OF avoid
ing personalities in his campaign for
denomination and devoted his entire
speech$to an attack upon Cols Roosa.
Welt and a defense of himself and hia
administration against charges Col.
lRooseyeit recently made on the
stump.
Mr.. Taft's speech bristled with
counter charges against his predeces-
sor in the White House He declar-
| ed that Mr. Roosevelt had wiifully
Efnisreltresented him, had falsely dis
tbrted some of his public utterances,
had failed to live mp TO hts policy OF
d sqnare deal and had violated SOL
emn promise TO the American people
not to be candidate for a third
term.
THAT promise and that treat
nent OF II" said Mr.. Taft, "oniy
throws an informing light on the
value that ought now to be attached
to any promise of this kind he may
make for the future"
Declaring that Mr. Roosevelt
ought, not to be selected as a candi-
date OF any party" Mr. Taft said
that the former president might now
be paving the way, II successful In
the present campaign, to remain the
chief executive of the nation for as
many terms as his natural life would
permit. - 't. w %
"lf he Is necessary now to the
government, Why not later?" asked
the president aud continued:
''One who so lightly regards con-
stitutional principles, and especially
the independence of the judiciary.
one who Is so naturally impatient Of
legal restraints and of due legal pro-
cedufe. and who has SO misunder-
stood what liberty regulated by law
is, could not safely be entrusted
with successive presidential terms.
say this sorrowfully, but I say 1t
with the full conviction of its
truth" a.a.t
Mr.. Taft referred to some of Mr..
: Roosevelt's charges against him as
| the loose and vague indictment of
one who does not know and who de-
pends only upon second hand inform
| alton for his statement"
The president said that his speech
tonight was one of the most painful
duties of his life, that it was in re-
sponse to an obligation that he owed
the Republican party which selected
him as its candidate, and to the
American people who elected him
president.
at grows he said, "out of
phase OF national politics and ma
tional life that believe to be un-
precedented in our history. So un-
usual Is the exigency that the or
binary rules OF propriety that limit
and restrict president in his pub
lie addresses must be laid aside. and
the cold, naked truth must be stated
In such way that it shall serve, as
a warning to the people OF the Unit

Ruling Made for Benefit Of Insured

S. CANDEE MAKES APPEAL
Illinois Inspection Bureau Issues
Special Permit Temporarily Re.
moving Requirements

Among the many difficult CONNER
cial problems that have Unexpectedly
been presented in connection with
the inundation OF the Drainage Dis
trict las been the question OF fire
insurance requirements as expressed
in the policy forms under which
manufacturing plants and lumber
has been insured. Practically all of
the lumber yards receive reduc-
tion In their fire rates through the
use of continuous clear space, vary
ing with conditions, from 100 to 200
feet. The insurer warrants in his
policy to maintain such space con-
stantly and agrees that his insurance
shall become void If the clear space
clause is violated Fire insurance
policies also contain restrictions as
to the amount Of alterations that
may be made in buildings to fifteen
days OH account of the increased
hazard that always accompanies cer-,
tain building operations.
AS is we'll known, the action of the
current when the water rushed into
the district, followed by the effect OF
high winds that followed, has car
ried an immense amount of lumber
and drift into the various yards
which is now settling and has the
effect for the time being of Destroy
ing most of the carefully kept clear
spaces about the various factories
and mills. 1t is also true that un-
usual repairs, both in extent and "a
time to be consumed are or very
shortly will be in progress.
In order to protect property own
ers and correct the provisions of in
surance policies to meet the unusual
conditions that obtain, II. s. Candee,
president of the Local Board of Fire
Underwriters, appeared before the
rating authorities In chicago yestel-
day with maps and photographs
showing present conditions. Mr.,
Candee made a strong appeal to the
raters and advices from him indicate
that a prompt response has been
made by the insurance companies

mendations of the local underwater
were adopted without change, and as
a result for 4 period OF ninety days

been waived. The Illinois Inspec'
