BEST DAY FOR TAFT
IN JERSEY CAMPAIGN
Throngs in Commuter Belt Give the President
Enthusiastic Welcome?Big Crowds for
Roosevelt, Too, in Taft Strongholds.
570 DELEGATES, SAYS PRESIDENT
Declares National Committee Will Do Justice?"Only
Way Opponents Can Win Is by Cheating," Says
Colonel?La Follette Talks for Woman's Suffrage.
President Taft. Colonel Roosevelt and Senator T.a Follette put in
another busy day in New Jersey yesterday. Mr. Tafl again expressed
conridence ot his renomination, while the ex-Presiden! declared the
onlv way his opponents could win would he hy cheating.
Traversing four count io*-. President Taft's third day of iii*- cam
paigning of that state was the he*-t so far of hi*- whirlwind tour. The
crowds were larger and more enthusiastic than upon either of tho pro
vious days. At Taterson and Passaic ho mel with the greatest demon
f-trations. outdoing Colonel Roosevelt's dash through those cities,
Mr. Taft spoke in Hudson, Essex, Passaic and Bergen counties, the
commuter belt. talking also to many factory workers. He -aid he al?
ready had more than 570 delegates to the I'hicago Convention. Again
he defied Mr. Roosevelt to make good his accusations againsl 'he Taft
administration i!e declared the national committee would see that
justice was done.
Mr. Roosevelt continued to regard his campaigning in NTew Jersey
ss an excursion. He was in good humor all day, although speaking in
districts which his supporters concede to Taft.
The national committee proved a fruitful subject for some of his
speeches and he declared it was vital toahave a body that represented the
people ,The onl) way they." he said. referring to his opponents, "can
win is by deliberate cheating in the national committee.
Senator La Follette was only ten minutes behind President Taft at
Newark. He was greeted by an audience of 3,000 persons, one-third
of which was ma-:- up of suffragettes. He devoted his entire time to a
ussion of "votes for women." giving the proposition his hearty cn*
dorsement, a- he had done hcretofore. The crowd that greeted the
Wisconsin Senator, due possibly to this fact. was larger than
which welcomed the President. although not more enthusiastic.
