With Colonel RoobovoU ns a subject, Senafui- Hn,yner or Maryland paid lila lespects lo tho Snge of Sagnrnoro Tlllt In a vehement speech In the Senate today. InslstlnB ho was not Inljucr.ccd by political considerations, Senator Raynor tald of Roosevelt's recall of court de cisions: "1 regard It as the most dangerous doctrine ever brought forward by any one who has the sllchtcst regard for tho stability of our institutions, ai.d whoso opinion is entitled to nny weloht or respect. "If a proposition of this sort had been advanced by an ordinary agitator or by an anarchist no attention would bo paid to It, and it would Involve no actual danger to the tt public; lh!n, however, is tho uttcrjneo of a pulltical leader, who Is gifted with great power and commands great popularity, and who for peven years was Prcsldmt of thy United Slates and Is again a candidate, "A great newspaper referred to tho colonel's position as tho 'craziest pro posal' that over emanated from him self or any other man. I have, how ever, from tlmo to tlmo taken tho lib erty to submit to tho Senate a number of other proposals of tho former Presi dent which aro etiual to it In this re gard. Hostile to Courts. "Pcoplo who regard this merely as a flippant and Impulsive utterance as a candidate for pubjlc ofllco are making a- great mistake. Ho has always been hostile to tho decisions of tho courts when they conflicted with his own views. "According to this proposition the at tack upon our Institutions must stop at the Supreme Court of tho United States. Why, I aBk, at the Supremo court' That couit Is tho very tmnirml that Mr. Roosevelt has mercilessly at tacked whenever it dared to dlsugren with him In his Intcrpretatlpn of the law. Why not havo complefc unarcliy'.' "Why have only partial anarch? "Whet is the use of having any courts ut all'.' Mr. Roosevelt says the peop'o made the Constitution, now let them in terpret It. This Is the subslunca of his argument. This Is the new revela tion of which he Is the prophet and the .Messiah. "There is a motive for all this, and I think I can tell you what it is. It arises from tho fuct that when Mr. Koosovplt was President he was nut allowed to Influence and control the decisions of tho courts, and they de clined to pass under tho domination of his arbitrary and Imperious will. "iVr. Roosevelt Is u candidate for Piesidcnt of tho United States. There was no need of any peftyuaBlon what ever to Induco him to enter tho Held. He Is willing- to come with his own ciown and framo a constitution of bin own In accordance with the charming and nlturlng platform that he has pro mulgated. I believe there aro a larso number of Mr. Roosovellts followers In this country who would today fuvov vcstlns In him autocratic power. Hoped Outbreaks Were Over. "No progressive leader in this body that I know of has ever given cxpies slon to .such views au were presented in tho colonol's speech. I had hoped that such outbreaks as this wero ovor when Mr. Roosevelt abdicated his place and started upon his restless and harm less expedition to the jungles of Africa to slaughter animals that Providence liad never created. "Would It bo poslble, if he consent?, to tender him to the new Republic of China, In the event of defeat and -1 am satisfied that, even if nominated, ho -will be easily defeated. When he was President I was constantly be guiled and diverted by his political per formances. 1 never retired at night that I did not expect some political earthquake In the morning, and I never arose In tho morning that i did not look for some volcanic action at night. "Ho Is simply advocating martial law. Tho best definition of martial law in that it Is no law at all. "1 am not exaggerating the situation. He Is perfectly sincere and his motive is not a corrupt one, but he is possessed with a mad fancy that this is an execu tive Government, that the powers of the executive ought to override those Qf the legislative and judicial branches of tho public service. He would. In the nursult of his own insatiable ambition. wissess a degree of autocratic power -.hat no Presdent of the Unted States has ever attained." Longworth Is Neutral. Flying the flag of neutrality, Congress man Nicholas I,ongworth, son-in-law of Colonel Roosevelt and neighbor of President Taft out In Cincinnati, re turntHl to AVashlngton today and assert ed that he would take no part In the jireconvcntlon light over the Republican Presidential nomination. "1 shall take no part in the election nf delegates, nor shall I be a candidate for delegate myself." Mr. Longworth said. "Son-in-law Nick," like Senator bDdgo and other Republicans, Is in an Otnbarrusslng position. He Is friendly both to his distinguished father-in-law and his distinguished neighbor, both of whom are now striving for the Repub lican nomination. As the support of either would hurt the feelings of the other, Longworth says that he's going Xf be neutral. Kent for Roosevelt. Congressman Kent of California today bopped on the Roosevelt band wagon In a telegram to Leo S. Robinson, of Alabama, saying: "The contest In the Republican party between progress and reaction Is llrst one of principle and second of men. Tht leadership has shifted. While admiring and appreciating I .a Toilette, Roosevelt has' a vastlv larger following In Cali fornia, and I shall gladly use what In fluence I maj have towatd furthering his candidacy." Tea Board Meets And Is Organized The newly appointed tea board, ap pointed by Secretary MacVeagli for the calondar year 191:1, held its Initial meet ing In the office of the Secretary at the Trciiuiiiy Department today. Tli. meinbeis of the boaid weie piescnted to Mic Secretary, and the board vtuj organized for work.

ManJ' " or the Taft pcoplo aro fear ful that rfi .grave mistake was made In turning their campaign over to Cannon and McKlnley. Illinois was at that tlmo thought to be gravely menaced, by tho La Kolletto boom; the Lorlmer pcoplo were confident they could savo the day. and they got control. Now that Roosovelt has come Into the fight, and tho national Munition Is hopclossly complicated with the county nnd Stute clect'ons of this year, tho de sire to name a national ticket with a chance of winning Is lining up all the small politicians for Roosevelt, nnd dis aster seems to confront the Toft people. Taft Leads This Pole. But of all the polls lately taken. Pres ident Taft Is not to bo denied the dis tinction of having won a highly signif icant and suggestive one. Tho New York Globe sent requests tp a" of tho 1.0-11 members of the New York Stock Exchange, for expressions of their Presidential preference. The result, from tho first 314 members who have re plied, follows: . Taft ISo Harmon J Roosovolt ", Underwood ' Wilson x Clark 5 Tho Globo calculates that this ratio, projected over the entire membership, will make the poll give: Taft I'd" Harmon 213 Roosevelt l- Underwood '$ Wilson 27 Clark 17 Mr. Taft beats Roosevelt by over Ave. to one nnd has a clear majority over all comers of about three to two. i lie re sult has given much satisfaction to nnmn nf the nraetlcal Administration leaders who had almost got themselves to believing their stories that wuii Street really was for Roosevelt. Taft Denies Writing A Letter Last Year To "Dear Theodore" President Taft , today added to the membership of his own little Munchau sen Club the successor lo Colonel Roosevelt's Ananias organization by denying the story or an Interchange of letters with the former Piesldent. The report was given wide circula tion that during the Mexican uprising last spring. Colonel Roosevelt wrote to "Dear Will" asking command of a cavalry expedition to subdue the un rulv Mexicans, and that Taft respond ed to "Dear Theodore" with a short declination. "No such letters were ever written was tho statement authorized at tho White House today. Bourne Criticises Roosevelt, But Climbs Aboard Band Wagon Another La Follette performer climbed aboard the rapidly trundling Roosevelt band wagon today, when Senator Jona than Bourne declared himself, and crit icised Colonel Roosevelt for hls declara tion In 1901 that he would not accept unother nomination. Bourne was presi dent of the Progressive Republican League, which ran the La Follette cam paign, and bagk in .1307 was the original "second-electlve-term" Roosevelt boom er. "Roosevelt had a perfect right to de clare In 1001 that .he would not be a candidate again." Bourne said, "but he had absolutely no right to say he would not accept another nomination- By so doing ha was placing his own personal wishes ahead of his party's or the coun- Piles Oured at Home Quick Relief Trial Pnckuge Mailed Free to AH in l'laiu Wrapper.

Tho exact situation hi New Hampshire, and tho best method to pursuo In tho light to round up tho Granlto State's Chicago delegates for his camp, wero caicfully explained to Colonel Roosovelt by Gov ernor Bass today. Tho governor, who Is tho most enthusiastic Roosevelt shouter 'In New Kngland, was bubbling over with confidence when hu reached the colonel and declared ho had no doubt that tho former President would have the enthusiastic support of his State. Ho explained, however, that a light would havo to bo made, as many of tho old-tlmo pnrty leaders are anti third term nnd are nlso Insistent that the Stato should support Taft. Roosevelt secmod well pleased with tho reception ho has received from tho Massachusetts leaders and with tho widespread circulation of his declara tion thnt, even If not nominated,, ho win support tho nomineo of tho Chi cago convention. This later statement Is decidedly at variance with the posi tion taken by some of his supporters who Insist that If the Tnft forces con trol tlP convention and write the plat form along tho lines favored by the President, then tho colonel will pub licly announce hu cannot support tho ticket. Outside of his conference with Gov ernor Bass It was Btatcd that tho colonel would meet no politicians or transact any political business today. Tho remainder of the day ho planned to spend In making social calls and re ceiving personal mends. Old Guard Leader Of New Hampshire For President Taft The President today learned that former Govcrnoi Hachclder of New Hampshire, now president of the Na tional Orange, haB deserted the Roose velt banner. Secretary Hllles said that Uachelder had written to numerous friends that he could not Indorse Roosevelt's Co lumbus sDoech. and that in his opinion the Columbus speech makes tho nom ination of Roosevelt Impossible. The Piesldent Is pleased with Bachelder's attitude, for during the reciprocity cam paign the New Hampshire man bitterly attacked Taft. The Mirror and Farmer, of Manches ter, N.
