day OF Colonel Roosevelt's campaign
in Ohio ended here tonight, with his
first prepared speech in the state. IL
was day OF crowds and noise and
speeches in quick succession, as Col.
Roosevelt was hurried through the
eastern part of the state in an effort
to keep up with the schedule which
had been arranged. This called for
thirteen speeches. and the colonel
made several more than that. There
were large crowds. and in some cases
huge ones wherever he spoke.
Colonel Roosevelt covered part OF
the ground which President Taft went
over to-day and their paths crossed
several times.
The former president renewed his
attack upon his successor. He assert
ed at the outset that he would not
/ reply 10 the things which Mr.. Taft
said about him, so far as they were
! personal. but would confne himself
to the political principles involved
Resents Criticism.
A new point which Colonel Roose-
welt developed was his denial OF the
right Of President Taft to criticise
acts of the Roosevelt administration

was "a part Of the administration. and

had not discovered that I was a fat

Roosevelt Offended.
Il forget whether II was Yesterday
or to-day that Mr.. Taft made a re-
mark. which do not think was IN
very good taste. az to the possibility
OF my having died i'm the Titanic dis
