election then that may be affected
by all sorts of circumstances-if it
Is a Republican year it may go Re-
publican, and If Democratic year,
it may go Democratic. II it is a wet
Or a dry year 1t may go either. l
say it Is a dangerous innovation
upon our constitutional rights, and
If introduced into the state constitu-
ton, then there is nothing to keep
1t out of the Federal constitution.
We fought for years to do what
The Union veterans went south and
left their comrades by hundreds of
thousands dead on the field Of bat
tie, to do what? To put the 18th,
14th and 18th amendments into the
constitution to protect the liberties
of the colored man. After we have
fought, after we spent millions of
treasure, after we spent hundreds Of
thousands of lives, to put those con-
%stitutional amendments in there, are
we going to give them such light
protection that they can be removed
by the chance of one single popular
election? l say my friends 1t is lay
ing the axe at the foot of the tree
of liberty, and it presents a crisis
that ought to make you pause before
you permit the introduction into Of
fee of a man of such unsound con-
stitutional views.
And now my friends, with refer
ence to the third term. | am op-
posed to Mr.. Roosevelt for q third
term because two terms are enough
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lin
coin and Mckinley said they were
enough. Roosevelt said they were
enough in 1904 and in 1908. And
now l appeal from Roosevelt to
Roosevelt in 1908 and 1904. He
knew more than than he does now.
When l raj -four years ago he com
mended me in the highest terms to
the American peaple as a Presiden-
tial candidate. He commended me
In such eulogistic terms that l have
to blush when a read them now,
from very mOdesty. | venture to say
to you that in spite of the %superla-
tive language that he used at that
time, he was nearer right then than
he is now in his opinion Of me now.
Now my friends l can not stay

to remember that this administra-
ton has carried out the contract
that the people agreed to make. 1t

workingmen with whom it made an
agreement. tt has carried out its
contract in every respect, and If
you believe In approving the servant

on to determine the question
whether we shall have a third term,

Reception at Red Bank.

opcCtui W INC CO. HLNtNU " q.
Red Bank, May 27:-Upon his ar
rival in this city shortly after II
o'clock, President Taft was given a
right royal reception by the assem-
bled voters and the finely trained
school children, who executed a flag
drill in honor of the arrival of the
President. The Presidential party
was escorted to the speakers stand,
only a short distance from the sta
ton, by the Second Troop of the
New Jersey Calvary. The school
children walked before the party and
tossed dozens of carnations in the
path taken by Red Banks most hon
Ored visitors.
The reception committee met Mr..
Taft at Perth Amboy and acted as
an escort to this city. The commit
tee was composed of Hon. John s..
Applegate, 6r., Sigmund Eisner, ex-
Mayor Charles II. Root, DR.. w. NJ.
Thompson and w. A. Sweeney. The
attendance at the meeting far sur
passed any expectations Of the COM
mittee, and justihes the belief that
the President will have many sup
porters at the primary polls tomor-
row in this section of the Third Con-
gressional District. Mr.. Taft spoke
for a few minutes on the issues of
the present campaign, and carefully
related the progress of the Repub-
lican party during the Taft admin
istration. He said that support of
the people to the Taft ticket tomor-
row indicates a desire to continue
the policies Of the present admins
tration.
President Taft was presented
with a white poodle dog-not a
houn' dawg-at the conclusion of
his remarks, the gift of r. Connell,
1197Monmouth street, Red Bank. 1t
is a very valuable and beautiful dog.
The little ~critter was taken on board
the special train by Major Rhoades
and fondled extensively by the
newspaper men during the trip to
Long Branch. Following a sugges-
ton, President Taft named the dog
Teddy" for the following reason
he laughingly stated: Because its
bark is worse than it's bite"
The Red Bank speech was deliver
ed before 1000 people from a speak
er's stand opposite the railroad sta
ton. The sun was territically hot
and blazed down without ceremony
upon the uncovered head of the
speaker. The stop at this place was
preceded by a short stop at Mata-
wan, where 500 people welcomed
the President and listened to a fiery
ten-minute talk. The school chill
dren were on parade and sang
America" President Taft address,
ed a few words to the youngsters
and then spoke to the voters.
