UFT DISLOYAL TO EVERY CANON OF FAIR DEALING (Continued from Klrul I'a?c.) Cosl and Iron Company. The assaults upon mo by Mr. raft's campaign man ? Kur made In Waahligtun under Mr. Taft'? very eyes have been foul to the very.-; of Indecency. But, remember, I am not complaining of these things: I care nothing for Mr. 'faffs personal auiiude toward me: I alude !?? It only In passing, and merely because M . Tort lays such emphasis upon the nr ittor." The speaker then turned to recipro? city, *nd denied that he hid changed front o.-i the reciprocity measure. "#vt first I tunk the agrcotnein on thf 'alth of Mr. Tafts represents-; Mom" he said. "Euter, when 1 came to look up the matter, however, I be-j camn convinced that the reciprocity I agreement as passed by Mr. Taft was unwise and undesirable because It improperly sacrificed the interests of our farmers and Qslfermcn, and be? cause, it carried Indefensible action on paper. "Mr. Taft says Hint th* Influence of Federal ofltccholdcra in the Chicago convention this year will be less of fectlve for any one candldat< than: ever before In the history of the , party. This Is not only tin untruth. | but It Is an absurd untruth. Never In thirty years' cloee observation have I seen such scandalous abuse of the patronage na of this year. Ilia Statement Astounding. .' "Some of the abuse >>'. patronage has been done directly by Mr. Taft himself, as In the case (>f (he various North Carolina nominations. Moreover, does Mr. Taft think that the people! have forgotten the letter his secretary sent out as to restoring to the insur. Kent Senator* th.> patronage of which he had deprived them? Having all thc*e farts in view. It Is 'Imply as toundlng that Mr. Taft should venture the assertion that ha has not used the Federal patronage to debauch poli? tics. "Mr. Taft states that 1 advised him to have a meeting with Mr. Cannon. 1 advised him to meet every one. t" consult with every one, to try to get on with every one. Hut no less em? phatically I advised him to follow my example, to consult freely with all the politicians and to try to set on with them, but where the politicians split off from the people then to stand with the people and not with the politicians; and '.t If precisely th'-s that he fulled to do. "It is a most curious thing that Mr Taft should, actually crltlclzt m<- for not having assailed him about the paynr tariff law. As a matter of I id j I have eagerlv endeavored to pra'se i Mr. Taft whenever I possibly could, j and when I could not I have merely I kept silence. | "As ho now desires t'.iat I shall hreak tllcncc about the tariff law, I i will tay that I hohl him culpable for! having led the people to believe that he favored a substantially downward revision, and that hs would work ac-| lively for it. and then having sat BU-1 plnely by and allowed hli new friends. I i nder the leadership of Mesrrs. Aid- . rich and Cannon, to produce a bill j which made him convict himself of in-I sincerity when he signed it." i Turning to President Taft's state-? merits In regard to a third term. Col-1 onel Hoosevelt declared that the dan? ger only lay In more than two con? secutive terms which might afford op? portunity for the executives to in? trench himself in power.
