League af Nations Address
Out Attack on
i % Wilson.
'Special to The Time#.
BLOOMINGTON, Iml., Oct. 21.—Wil
liam Howard Taft, former President of
the United States, disappointed a great
non-partisan audience gathered in the
men's gjmqasium of Indiana University
last-njght when he devoted practically all
of his t wholesale denunciation
of the administration.
'The former President had been adver
tised to speak bn the League of Nations.
‘‘The issue Involved in the campaign,"
said Mr. Taft, “is the approval or"the dis
approval of Woodrow Wilson."
The exercise the President of his
constitutional war-time powers without
consultation of Congress was severely
criticised by Mr. Taft. t
The Cabinet was attacked, as being
weak and inefficient and lacking the in
dependence to act on their own respon
sibility.
Mr. Taft condemned what he termed the
■“exasperating delays” of the war, due
Ito alleged lack of power of adffinistrative
fcppointees.
liberty loan bond issues were de-
because of -he present slump of
bonds on the market.
my judgment the Escb-Cnmmins
Brill is of the greatest constructive
■neasures on the statutes,” said Mr. Taft,
Bn defense of the railroad bill, “and it
Vwaa placed there by Republican states-
Imen.”
I The "Democratic candidate was charac-
Iterized as purely a politician, but the
speaker granted' his good record as Gov
ernor <sf Ohio. \
I In his remarks, Mr. Taft ap-
Bproachcul the League of Nations, which.
Ihe deeltrod, had no place in the cam- .
■paign.
B "I was in favor of the league with
article 10 and I anj noV.” said the former
applause that lasted near
ly two minutes, “but,” he added,
%fter that his audlenee began to notice
ably diminish. “I want it to be ft real
lehgne and not an academic ideal.” *■

/
Special to The Ti-neu
NASHVILLE, Ind., Oct. 21.—1n an ad
dress here this afternoon, D;\ Qarleton
B. McCulloch, Democratic A (,inlnee for
Governor charged that a political ma
chine organized by the State .Highwsj
Commission is fighting the
"ticket because it has shown that the com
mission is extravagant.
“Citizens are naturally indignant on
finding that only $55.90 out of every SIOO
expended by this commission up to date
has gone Into actual road construction,”
said the candidate. '
“The counties, moreover, are pointing
out that when they had their own auto
mobile license fees to keep up their road
repairs, the roads were ke>pt in much
better shape than at present.
DH. M’CULLOCH HAS
FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE. •
“Having campaigned this State in an
automobile, X am iu a position to speak
feelingly, and front first-hand knowledge j
on the subject.
“I know tbc people good roads
and roads carefully maintained, but 1
know, too, are very resentful over
the way their money has been wasted id
excess construction cost. *
“When Marlon County can bgllil wider
and better roads ah a cost of $6,000 less i
per mile than the State Itighfway Commis- j
sidn, it is time to reform.
“Let us have anew deal in this par- j
tiftilar. V J
“Let us jntt men on that commission j
who are pledged to an honest, conscien- j
tious and economical construction of our {
highways.
MUST GET MOST OUT
OF EVEH.V DOLLAR. ✓
“Traffie by truck is becoming so uni
versal and the wear and tear on the roads
is such an important item that It be
comes a solemn duty to get the most out
of every dollar we spend in order that
we may not be bankrupted by high taxes
for these purposes.
“Let us all work together for the bet
terment of-our roads^
“The prosperity i*r cities and counties
alike is closely interwoven with facilities
for transportation.
“When our railroads are tied up by
strikes or coal shortages, good roads are
our salvation.”
