have been most criticised. / ask you
to see if you can find anywhere in
that speech any appeals to class
hatred, except hatred of the class of
crooks, political and financial alike.
Il have, it is true, preached abhor-
renee of Mr.. Lorimer and all that for
which Mr.. Lorimer stands, and Of the
kind of crooked politics and crooked
finance which in combination are re-
sponsible for the reproduction of Mr.
Lorimer. But as regards even the
bosses whom ] oppose, have not
preached hatred of them. do not
hate them, merely wish them to
retire to private life and stop mis-
governing us.
Does Mr.. Taft regard me as stir
ring up class hatred because l ask for
law in New York to prevent women
from being worked for excessive
hours in factories? Does he regard
me as stirring up class hatred be-
cause | stand for workmen's COM
pensation act? Does he regard me
as stirring up class hatred because |
demand that the state and the nation
cooperate to make the conditions of
life and labor better for wage work
ers, because | demand that state and
nation cooperate to help the farmer,
to shape conditions so that the farm
er shall have not only better
chance to do well in the actual tilling
of the soil, but a better chance to

business advantages and better
| chance to get in the open country,
the opportunities for social and in
dustrial development which will en-.

in the country instead of seeing them

Mr.. Taft says that his supporters
are not bosses, but patriotic leaders

COLONEL SAYS He

Former President Made 20
Speeches on Last Day
REPLIED TO PRESIDENT TAFT
Denied That He Was Attempting To
Create Class Hatred-Seekine
to Avert II

Pittsfeld, Mass, April EFF you
vote for Mr.. Taft you vote for these
men," said Colonel Roosevelt here
tonight, after referring to Senators
Lorimer, Penrose, Gallinger and Gug-
genheim. He declared that the Pres
ident had practically nothing in his
campaign back of him, outside of two
or three states, except the support he
received from these men land their
like, and from the great sinister spec
ial interests which stand behind
these bosses"
Colonel Roosevelt devoted a large
part of his speech to a reply TO the
things President Taft had been say
ing during the day at the other end OF
the state. At intervals in his jour.
ney across the state the colonel re.
ceived telegraphic reports of the
Presidents speeches, and in the lat
ter part OF the day he entered upon a
long distance debate by retorting to
Mr.. Tafts statements.
Colonel Roosevelt said the Presi
dent had asserted that the colonel
was stirring up class hatred. "The
talk that | am stirring up class
hatred is arrant nonsense" he de
clared. In this same connection he
said: '1f Mr. Tafts policy of flabby
indecison and of helpless acquies
cence in the wrongdoing of the crook
ed boss and the crooked financier /.
permitted to continue, there will real
ly grow up class hatred in this coun
try. There will grow up a very I'm
comfortable and very ugly feeling o.
discomfort with political, social anC
industrial conditions"
Colonel Roosevelt made it cleal
that he did not believe the result o.
his campaign hinged upon the out
come of tomorrow's primaries
Mind YOU he said. II believe We
