him there. Instead, he went directly to Mr..
Perkins's house from the Pennsylvania sta

he left the city, az midnight

CALLS THEM SOCIALISTS
Dies, of Texas, Glasses Roosevelt
and BRYAN with McNamaras.

Washington, March Z - Ex-President
Roosevelt, William J. Bryan and Repre-
sentative Berger. the Wisconsin Socialist
were denounced in a speech in the House
to-day by Representative Dies, OF Texas, a
Democrat. as being among the foremost
enemies OF free government in America to-
day He insisted that Roosevelt and
Bryan were Socialists. and coupled their
names with those of Berger and the Nc
Namara brothers
Berger IS over there" said Mr. Dies,
pointing dramatically in the direction Of
the House Office building, where the Law
renee strike inquiry was proceeding.
"preening himself as the great friend OF
labor. It is high time that the country
should know just what Mr. Berger stands
for. l am not now appealing TO any dis
trlct or 10 any party, but 10 my colleagues
mere 10 recognize the peril Of socialism"
The legislative activities of the Wiscon-
sin Socialist we're then reviewed by Mr..
Dies. These, he said. among other things,
included abolition Of the veto power OF the
President and both the Supreme Court and
the Senate and two measures which. Mr..
Dies charged, we're intended ito save from
the clutches of the law the Mcnamara
brothers and others who sfterward might
find themselves similarly in the tolls of the
law.
"Mr, Berger 7 may say Yields TO no
man. living or dead, In his desire TO disrupt
the Constitution and destroy the liberties
Of the people under a representative de-
mocracy. In his desire for a re-enactment
Of chaos Mr.. Berger is as earnest, II not
as vociferous, as the lion tanner who rosrs
from the peaks of Sycamore Hill"
Contrasting Colonel Roosevelt and Mr..
BRYAN, the latter, Mr. Dies said. openly sd-
vocated socialist doctrine while the ex-
President progressed TO ne opposed 10 So
cialism.
Roosevelt seeks n walk In the path the
Cssars trod," he said. Mr. Bryan will be
content with million new subscribers FOR
his paper. Roosevelt wants 10 emulate the
bad example Of Diaz, OF Mexico. and break
down the constitutional barriers against
Presidential succession. Mr.. Bryan gives
aid and encours cement 10. Roosevelt As
against the democratic party, and for the
principles of Democracy. as written IN the
Constitution. he offers no word Of encour-
agement'
Mr.. Dies charged that NJ. Bryan in.
dorsed Colonel Roofevelts policies while
condemning Clark, Harmon and Under

BOOMING TAFT AND BATES"
Massachusetts Is After Second
Place on Ticket.
lBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune

Boston, March 7-Ex-Governor John l..
Bates is being doomed as a candidate for
Vice President II the Presidential primary
bill goes through, Mr.. Bates's name will
be placed on the ballot as the candidate OF
the Taft League of Massachusetts.
The Ex-Governor is a strong supporter OF
President Taft, and 1t is expected that the
linking OF his name with that of the Presi-
dent on the primary ballot will secure
thousands of votes for Mr. Taft that might
otherwise go TO Roosevelt.
There is understood TO be considerable
opposition within the Taft lines TO the re-
nomination OF Vice-President Sherman and
advantage may be taken of the situation to
put Mr.. Bates UP to the national Taft or

osserted they intend TO keep up treir work
anyway.
II is understood that there Is not a day
that the Mayor does not receive letters
from various parts of the country asking
his permission 10 start boom for him,
and scarcely day when some one from
