HAND SHAKING PURELY FORMAL
 TAFT-ROOSEVELT
(Continued from Page One)

re-elect him, the country might have war. That is substantially what he said and the inference was that if he were there, there would not be any war, leaving it to be inferred by the l outside world that nobody would in suit him so that he would fight
 At this moment we are Informed that in the German reichstag there IS a debate going forward as to whether or not they will resume what they call the U-boat warfare-what l call murder on the high seas, of men, women and children. And you can guarantee that there would be no de- hate on that subject if they knew that they had as president of the United States man who would not tolerate any kind of action of that sort.
 MT Wilson's speech last Saturday was an invitation to foreign powers to do whatever they wished because if he were in power they need not be afraid.
 Another thing" Colonel Roosevelt continued, "in MT. Lincoln's speech of acceptance, I think it was in that place that he so happily named Shadow Lawn" Mir Root interrupted MT. Roosevelt.
 You said Mir. Lincon's speech. You meant Mir. Wilson's speech" MT. Root said.
 Good heavens!" exclaimed Colonel 1 Roosevelt, that was verbal inac- | curacy with vengeance. In Mir. Will sons speech of acceptance a few weeks ago. there was one sentence-among many of which took note, in which he | said that if all essential rights were in- vaded by any nation they must be met | by prompt challenge and resistance. Now, take the sentences about keep | ing us out of war at all costs last Sat urday and these sentences about prompt challenging and resistance to- | gether, and one group of sentences is l the weasel and the other the egg. It is l open to MT. Wilson which is the wea- sel and which is the egg. But one of | them sucks all the meaning out of the other.
 If the speech last Saturday ex-
 pressed his real convictions, then by
 prompt challenge and resistance he
 means tapping his adversary on the
 wrist. If you can once persuade an adversary that that is all that he has
 to fear he grows bold.
 As MT. Hughes pointed out this
 evening, MT Wilson is praised for the
 most part by people with shoulders that slope like a champagne bottle, by
 people with timid hearts and quavering l out of war.
 Kept us out of war? He has kept
 us in three little wars that I can name.
 Twice we have been put into wars with
 Mexico, and Cnce we have waged a
 war with Haiti, once with San De-
 mingo. San Domingo and Haiti did
 not frighten the administration, and
 with them we have valiantly waged
 war
 We can be certain that with Mir
 Hughes as president. our people will be
 protected in their lives in foreign lands
 or on the high seas; that our people will be protected in their property in foreign lands or on the high seas. And we can rest assured that if MT Hughes ] Is president, the executive of the na- tion will be terroriZed by no one
 whether from abroad or at home. Nothing more ominous to the future . of America has ever been seen thar l the passage of this miscalled eight ) hour law which was merely a law tC raise wages; than the passing of that . law with the legislature looking not tC 2 the president, but to the great labol | leaders, who sat, watch in hand, tC l, see the law enacted.
 If MT. Hughes is made president WI
 can count with absolute certainty tha . not the group of greatest capitalists il the land, nor yet the group of the mos powerful labor leaders in the land vii be able to get one thing at Washing ton by threats or in any other way say, by showing before a competent tri bunal the justice of their demands "I believe in labor unions-I am al honorary member of one myself-bu l believe first of all in the great unior to which all of us belong. the Union o the United States of America" MT. Taft said that he ooncurred il the view of MT. Roosevelt that thi election is the most important sine, the civil war, and he declared that h, did not consider that the administra ton had kept the country out of war. MT. Hughes spoke in part as fol lows: Our opponents have a goot deal to say about their desire to ia cllitate American trade We hay, witnessed an administration failint to protect American rights and in country joining US, where it was 0 the utmost importance to our infIu ence in this hemisphere that a corec policy should be maintained. we hav seen an officious intermeddling oI the one hand. and a desertion of ou citizens on the other.

It win be long be fore we will cease to reap the fruit 4 of that folly.
