TAFT BREAKS HIS SILENCE AND HAND
LES ROOSEVELT WITHOUT GLOVES
X
Convicts Roosevelt of Having Misrepresented Him And
Qnrblcd His Utterances. Sees Only Disaster in Third
Term And Intimates Roosevelt Aims to Become Perm
anent Dictator.
At Boston Thursday evening Presi
dent Toft donned his fighting clothes
abandoned his policy of. silence
under the attacks that Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt has nuulo upon him and
upon his administration, and for tho
first time slnco Mr. Roosevelt's an
nounccd candidacy, launched Into a
bitter denunciation of tho former
President.
Mr. Taffs speech bristled with coun
tercharges against his predecessor In
the, whlto house. Ho declared tha.t
Mr. Roosevelt had wilfully mlsreprc;
sented him, had rnlsely distorted some
of his political utterances, had failed
tollvo up to his. policy of a square
deal and had violated a solomn prom
ise to tho .American people not to bo
a, candidate for a third term.
Seeking Life Tenure.
"That promlso' and his treatment of
it," said Mr. Taft, "only throws nn
informing light . on tho value that
ought to be attached to any promlso
of this kind he may make for tho fu
ture." Declaring that Mr. Roosevelt "ought
not to bo selected as a candldato of
any party," Mr. Taft said the i former
President might now be paving tho
way, if successful in the present cam
paign, to remain the chief executive
of tho nation for as many( terms as
his natural life would permit.
"If he Is necessary now to the gov
ernment, why not later?" naked the
President and continued: ,
I "One who so lightly .regards con
J stkutlonnl principles and especially
the Independence of the Judiciary, ona
who is so nnturallyjmpatlent of legal
restraints and of due prpceduro and
who has so misunderstood what lib
erty regulated by law Is, could not
safely, be Intrusted with successive
piesldentlal terms. I say this sorrow
fully, but I say It with the full con
viction of its truth."
Performs PalnfuJ Duty.
Tho President aald. that his sneooh
tonight was one of the most pMnlul
duties, of his lit'?, that It was in re
sponse to an obligation ho owed tho
Republican party, which selected him
as Its candidate, find to the Ameil
tan leoplo who elected him Presi
dent. "It grows," ho snid, "out of a yt&io
of national politics and natlonnl life
taut 1 believe to no unprecedented In
our history. So unusual Is the cx'g
ency that the ordinary rules ol pro
priety that limit and restrict a Pros
ideut In his public addresses must ho
laid asldo and the (old, naked truth
must bo Btated In such a way that It
will serve as a warning to the people
of the United States."
Mr. Taft said that Colonel Roose
velt's Columbus speech, accepted as
his platform, "sent a thrill of alarm
through all the members of tho COm

PAVING DISTRICT
GOES THROUGH
To tho happy surprise of all advo
cates of paving district No. 21 In Lo
gan City,, tho protest meeting of tho
city commissioners held Thursday
was poorly attended,
A slnglo protest was entered, and
I that not In nccordnnco with tho legal
B requirements. Those who had pro
I vlously entered written protests wero
J not In attendance to again submit
Tfc them as specified, nil theso, however,
jf were taken Into consideration by the
ccmmlsslo::, but tho sum total only
I re, resented a fractional part of front
H ago necessary to defeat tho Issue,
H hence a motion that the protests be
" nit granted was unanimously carried,
t Tho district was then dcclnrtd, and n
mt -notion passed authorizing Commls
K sloner Nelson to proceed with Uio ad
H vcrtlslng for bids, etc. Tho passage
fl of this measure by tho board means
that Logan City, In tho course of a
year, will have nn additional ninety-
six blocks of pavod walk; all adding
to her present beauty ns a residence

that tho cost will bo near ?40,000.
munlty." "Mr. Roosevelt," ho said,
"then .found, that If the nomination
were to come to htm he must minimize-
tho Importance of this charter ot
Democracy, and must find some other
issue upon which to stand.
"Without giving up the principles
announced in his Columbus address,
the President snld Mr. Roosevelt rele
gated them to nn Incidental place and
changed his campaign to one ot crllt
cWm of Taft and the Tnft administra
tion. Refutes All Charges.
One by one the President toolt up
tho eleven charges mado ngalnst him
by Colonel Roosevelt and refuted
them. In two Instances he quoted
Irom correspondence botween himself
And Colonel Roosevelt and Bald he was
prepared to make other letters public
If Mr. Roosevelt should desire.
Refused Third Term.
I resident Taft quoted Colonel Poos
ovelt's refusal of a nomination for n
third term, announced in November,
1904. At thnt time the colonel said:'
"The wise custom, which 'limits the
Provident to two terms, regards th.
substance- and not tho form; and un
der nu circumstances will I be n can
didate for or accept another nomlna
Hon."
Turns Right About Faee.
"He (Itoosevelt) now says, al
though his lauguugo does not benr
such a construction, that ,he 'meant
he would not accept n nomination lor
a consocutlve third ternd said the
President. "He says so lnfacc oi
the fact that the most noteworthy pre
cedent in which the tradition was as
serted and maintained was that of
1SS0, when General Grant was demeu
n third ternWour years after he hud
left the presidential office."
Favored Canadian Reciprocity In 91
Mr. Taft quoted a letter from Col
onel Roosevelt dated January 12.
1911, In which he said:
"Dear Mr. President: It seems to
mo that what you propose to do with
Canada Is admirable from every stand
point. I firmly believe. In reciprocal

UtAH-A STATE
. TO BEPROUO OF
Brilliant Addresses Delivered
By Prof. L. A. Merrill And
Others at The Celebration
of Utah Day at the U. A. C.
"No history contains n record ot a
moro splendid achievement In empire
building than tho history of the state
of Utah, nnd no stnto Is richer In
national wealth and In possibility
than tho stnto of Utah," wero tho
propositions proved by Prof. A. L.
Merrill, prlnclpnl speaker nt tho Utah
day exercises nt tho Utah Agricul
tural college, Thursday, April 2Uh.
Among other things Professor Merrill
said.
"Utah contains moro resources than
any similar urea In the country and
Is able to support between flvo und
seven times Its present population,
which Is nt present 373,351. Utah
contains enough asphalt in Uintah
county to makes an asphalt pavement
around tho world forty feet In width,"
wns another of tho surprising asser
tions of tho speaker, who went Into
great detail regarding the valuable
deposits ot salt, sulphur, copper, coal
and tho moro rnro minerals which
abound In tho state. But desptto these
great mineral' resources, which has
placqd Utah In tho very foro front
ot mineral producing nrens ot the
world, and dcsplto the great smelt
ing plants, which nccordlng to tho
present rnto of progress will bo tho
foremost in tho world, Utah Is In the
last analysis not n mining but nn ag
ricultural state. In soil fertility sho
excels, which gives her farms n great
er power of production, which, how
ever, she has not utilized to tho full
est orient.
In wheat our averago production is
-L.wcuty-tb.roa busholspccacro whllo
the nvcrngo yield throughout the
United States Is thirteen bushels per
acre. Her nverugo yield of onta Is
forty bushels per aero, whllo the av
erage yield throughout tho United
States Is thlrty-ono bushels per acre.
Tho speaker mndo a forceful compar
ison between Colorado, which Is sup
posed to bo tho great potato stato,
and Utah, stating thnt the avenuo
yield of bushels per aero In Utah was
eighty-four, whllo Colorado's was only
fitfy-flvo. The yield of sugar bcots
In Utnh was 14.C tons per acre, while
tho yield In tho United States nt
largo Is 9.7 tons per acre. Sho is the
homo of dry farming and irrigation
movements which are. transforming
tho face ot the west, and Is ranking
high In dairying nnd In poultry indus
try.. Yet despite all theso facts, Prof,
Merrill maintained that thoro was
great need for an Internal awnkenlng
In the stnto of Utah. Bounteously
gifted ns Is tho stato In natural mln
oral and agricultural wealth, her In
crease In population, which Is a di
rect Index to her wealth, Is least
nn.oug tho western states. Utah's In
creaso In tho last ten years Is only
thlity-flve pel cent In population,
wnIo Idaho Increased 101 per cent,
Nevada 99 per J?nt, Wyoming CO por
pf cent, Arlzoiu r,r. per cent, Color
uco 4G per cent, California CO por
cei t and Oregon 03 por cent. Those
startling figures Jcavo tho plain in
torence that opronarlty exists hoie
as nowhere else In tho world becauas
our resources whllo prominent, are
undeveloped and wo are Just on tho
eve, In tho opln'cn ot Prof. Merrill,
In this great development,
Within the next twelve months
600,000 acres ot land, among tho rich
ct In the world, v 11 bo brought un
der cultivation by tho Strawberry Ir
rigation project. This Is tho largest
in tho stato, but thero nro scores of
others which nre bringing tho state
raor.- and moro under tho domination
of man.
Professor Merrill stated thnt tho
prime object of Utah day and the
Utah Development leaguo was to in
form citizens of tho stato of tho great
possibilities' here, and secondly to ac
quaint the outside world with tho
stnte.
Tho second part of tho program at
tho college was n speech by Mr. O.
W. Israolson, representing tho Agri
cultural club, a student organization.
Mr Israolson maintained that tho
gientest agricultural opportunity ot
