Mr. Taft's speech bristled with coun- ter charges against his predecessor in the White house. He declared that Mr. Roosevelt had wilfully misrepre- sented him, had falsely distorted some of his public utterances, had failed to live up to his policy of a square deal and had violated a solemn prom- | ise Lo the American people not to be a | candidate for a third term. “That promise and his treatment of it,” said Mr. Taft, “only throw an in- forming light on the value that ought now to be attached to any promise of this kind he may make for the future.” Ought Not to Be Candidate of Any Party. Declaring that Mr. Roosevelt “ought not to be selected as a candi date for any party,” Mr. Taft said that the former president might now be ! paving the way, if successf in the present campaign, to remain the chi executive of the nation for as many terms as his natural life would per- mit,” “If he is necessary to the gov- ernment, why not la " asked the | president, and continu “One who so lightly regards constitutional prin- | ciples and especially the independence of the judiciary, one who S0 nat- urally impatient of legal restraints and due legal proceedings, and who has so misunderstood what liberty regulated by law is, could not be safe- intrusted with successive presiden- tial terms. I say this sorrowfully, but 1 say it with the full conviction of it truth.” Speech a Most Painful Duty. The president id that his speech tonight was o of the mo: painful duties of his life, that it was in re- sponse to an obligation that he owed the republican party which selected him as its candidate, and to the Am- erican people who elected him presi- dent. “It grows,” he said, “out of a of national politics and nationai that T believe to be unprecedented in our history. So unusual is the exig- ency that the ordinary les of pro- priety that limit and r t a pres- ident in his public addresses must be laid aside, and the cold ked truth must be ed in such way that it shall serve as a warning to the people of the United States, Roosevelt and the Square Deal. 1 “Mr.. Roosevelt prides himself on | being a true sportsman; and he likes to take from the rules and language of sport, maxims to be applied to life in general. The maxim which he has exalted above all others, to whom he has given currency the country over, and which he himself in his conduct life | IN FIGHTING TOGS {of life wishes to have it thought ne | exemplifies, is that every man is en- | titled to a square deal. 1 propose to examine the charges he mages against | me, and to ask you whether in making them he is giving me a square deal.” In detail, Mr. Taft dealt first with | the statement by Colonel Roosevelt in his Carnegie hall address in which the colonel said: “Mr. Taft fairly defines the issue when he says that our government is and should be a government of all the people by a representative part of the people, That is an excellent and moderate description of an oligarchy. It defines our government as a govern- ment of all of the people by a few of the people.” | Excerpt Was Garbled. In reply, Mr. Taft said: “The excerpt which Mr. e | Roosevelt uses is taken from my speech at To- ledo. It is garbled. I did not say | this ‘should be a government of all the people by a representative part of | the people.” 1 sald ‘it is thus appar- {ent that ours is a government of all the people by a representative part of the people’ and it is. The context shows clearly what [ meant. I had | pointed out that the government was by popular vote, that the voters did not include the women and children, that in number the voters were less than one-fourth of all the people, and that their action was the action of their majority, so that the govern- ment was controlled not by all the | people but by a representative part of the people, to wit, a majority ©of the j adult males, Does Mr. Roosevelt deny this fact? “Was it honest, was it fair of Theo- dore Roosevelt to seize one sentence | from a speech, to garble it, and then to give it a meaning which he knew from the context it could not bear? ! Do the just people of Massachusetts | approve such method of warfare? Do | they think that in carrying it on, Mr. Rooseveit is giving to his successor a square deal?” Bosses Behind Roosevelt. Mr, Taft next took up what he termed the “unfair charge” that he was in favor of an oligarchy of bosses. “He (Colonel Roosavelt) says that all the bosses are in my favor and all of them against him. That is not | true, By his association with Willlam Flynn of Pittshurg, there is being re- stored to power in that city and in | Pennsylvania one of the worst muniei- pal bosses that the history of that | state knows. Mr, Roosevelt's chief supporter in’ Ohfo today 1s Walter Brown, the only bess in full commis- sion in that state, and who is looking forward to state control under Mr. Roosevelt's administration. He charges me with assoclation with Mr. Barnes | paign of his own. of New York, while he is silent as to the support and advice he is receiving from William Ward of the same state, Taft's Attitude Toward Lorimer. Mr. Taft charged that Mr. Roose- velt and his supporters during their recent campaign in Illionig, linked his name with that of Senator Lorimer, in such a way as to give the impres- ston that a vote for Taft was a vote for Lorimer, “I have not seen Mr. Lorimer for two vears, and have had no communi- cation with or from him. In Illinois Mr. Lorimer was conducting a cam- I did not ask his support. He did not tender it to me, Any influence he may have given in my favor was not because he liked me but because he felt more bitter toward Mr. Roosevelt. Without further cir- cumstances or knowledge it would have been unfair and unjust for Mr. Roosevelt to attempt to draw down on me the popular indignation against Senator Lorimer, and thus to carry the state of Illinois against me; but it was peculiariy unfair in Mr. Roose- velt to do this when he knew what he did know as to my actual attitude to- ward Senator l.orimer. Mr. Taft then read a letter he wrote to Coionel Roosevelt January 6, 1911, in which he said he wanted the move- ment to oust Senator Lorimer to suc- ceed. The letter, marked “Personal,” follows: Taft's Letter on Lorimer, “The White House, Washington, Jan. 6, 1911: “My dear Theodore: It comes to me, perhaps without foundation, that You are going to. write a strong article on the Lorimer case and publish it in The Outlook. I have been doing ev- erything I could legitimately to have the closest examination made into the Lorimer case. I have read as much of the evidence as I could get at and am convinced that there was a mess and mass of corruption upon which his election was founded that ought to be stamped with the disapproval of the senate. But I want the movement to oust him to succeed. I have urged different senators to read the record carefully, and after a talk with Root and Burton and Knute Nelson and Crawford and some others, I bhelieve | we are going to line up a good many of the regular republicans on the side of what I consider decency and hon- esty in politics. “It has leaked out that I have been taking some interest in the matter, and 1 fear that it has not helped the sit- uatfon generally because of that strong spirit of clubdom in the senate, and re- sentment against outside interference which nobody who is not intimately acquainted with the situation can un- derstand the weight of it. I was talk- ing with Borah this morning. I have consuited a good deal with him on the subject, and he and 1 agree that it would be unwise either for you or for me to come out now against Lorimer, and in favor of his being ousted; that it would enable those who are deter- How Build Today To Replace the Worn-out Parts Each day thinkers use up cells of the Brain. of Yesterday ?

No, nothing weuld have strong- er weight than speeches frem them; whereas, if either you or I came out with an attack it weuld enable the friends of Lorimer to shift the subject from the tainted character of his seat to the independence of the senate in acting as the judge of the gqualifica- tions of its own members. “I suggest, therefore, that if you have an article on this subject, you hold it until after the issues are more plainly made by speeches on the floor of the body in which the contest is to be won.

Since dictating the above I have {had the telephone conversation with you, but I let it go.” Roosevelt Favored Reciprocity. Mr. Taft charged that Mr. Roose- velt was now seeking to take advan- tage of the supposed feeling among the farmers of the country against reciprocity with Canada. He said he would not object to this, but for the fact that he congulted Colonel Roose- velt ten days before he made the agreement with Canada, and that the latter approved the agreement in the most enthusiastic terms. Mr, Taft quoted a letter from Colonel Rooseveit dated January 12, 1911, in ,which he said: Rooseveit's Letter on Reciprocity. “Dear President: It seems to me that what you propose to do with Canada is aamirable from every stand- point. I firmly believe in free trade with Canada for both economic and political reasons. As you say, labor cost s substantially the same in the two countries, so that you are amply justifiea by the platform. Whether Canada will accept such reciprocity I ao not know, but it is greatly to your credit to make the effort. It may aam- age the republican party for a while, but it will surely benefit the party in the end, especially if you tackle wool, cotton, etc., as you propose. “Ever yours, “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” “Shameless Use of Federal Patronage.” “As to Mr. Roosevelt's chargbs of the ‘shameless’ use of federal patron- age ny che president, Mr. Taft sald that per cent. of the federal office- holders now in the service were ap- pointees of Mr. Roosevelt, and as a natural result a large percentage of them favored the former president for renomination. No man, he said, had been dismissed because he favored Mr. Roosevelt, and there wus every indi- cation that in the Chicago convention the influence of the federal officehold- ers would be less effective for any one candidate than ever before in the his- tory of the party. Mr, Taft said Mr. Roosevelt was not only enjoying the support of many federal officeholders, but the patronage of a number of state governors which was being used for him. Signing of Payne Tariff Bill. Speaking of the Payne tariff bill, Mr, Taft again defended his course in sign- ing it, and declared that to have vetoed it would have broken up the republi- can party. “Has Mr, Roosevelt ever condemned the Payne bill?” he asked. “Does he say he would not have eigned it if it had been presented to him under con- ditions that 1 had to meet? He has never said that, as far as I know, and the New York platform of 1919, adopt- ea by tie convention of which he was a part, endorsed the pending bill and approved its passage. Is it a square deal, therefore, for him to charge me with not being a progressive when all that I did was to deal with the party as it was in congress and to get as much as I could of the legislation promised” Roosevelt’s Nomination Will Cause Distrust. “I affirm that the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt would extend through the business community a feeling of such distrust as to the future as to interfere with the good times which, if Business is let 2lone and present conditions continue, will expand into the most encouraging presperity; and this will bring happiness to wage workers, who are more injuriously affected by dis- turbances of business than any other members of the community. “Mr. Roosevelt ought not to be nom- | inated at Chicago, because in such | nomination the republican party will | violate our most useful and necessary { governmental tradition, that no one shall be permitted to hold a third presidential term.” Mr, Taft quoted from Mr. Roosevelt's statement in November, 1904, the fol- lowing: “The wise custom which lim- under no circumstances will T be a candidate for or accept another nom- ination.” Value of Roosevelt Promises. “He now says, although his language does not bear such a constrution, that he meant he would not accept a nom- ination for a consecuttve third term,” said the president. “He says so in face of the fact that the most noteworthy precedent in which the tradition was asserted and maintalned was that of 1880, when General Grant was denied a third term four yéars after he had left the presidential office. It is not for me to enter into a discussion of the plain meaning of the Janguage he used. If he had frankly announced that he had changed his mind no one would be disposed to hold him to a promise of that sort merely because he had made it. ment of it only throw an informing light on the value that ought now to be attached to any promise of this }kmd‘he may make for the future. The important fact is that his declaration was the statement of a principle es- sential to the welfare of the republic.” TWO STEAMER CAPTAINS SUMMONED Continued from Page 1.)

He has been Il Duties of the Inventor. Senator Smith asked Mr, Marconi what he had to do with the wireless apparatus, ashore and afloat, and whether he selected the operators. “I am consulted as to the installa- tion of the apparatus,” he said. “I do not dictate the style of apparatus, but am on call to advise. I travel around | the world a good bit on just this work."” i “What is your official connection with the British government?” “I have no official connection except for consultation, Our company has a contract with the government for the extension of wireless in the British empire. The work will take us at least 13 years.” The contract, the witness said, was made under the British postal service. “Have you the exclusive right to equip the RBritish wireless stations?” English Wireless Rights. “We have that right so far as the courts protect our patents in England,” sail Marconi. “Have you such e e, e e e ettt At e e rights In Ger- its the president to two terms regards | the substance and not tne form; and | The promise and his treat- ! many ?” “No.s “Have you had?” “We have had dealings with the German governmeni and Germany’s Senator Smith sought to discover whether the witness had exclusive con- tracts with any other governments or powers. “I have with Italy. “It is a personal contract and the company has nothing to do with it. In consideration cf not being charged for patent rights the government equips all its staticns, both at home and in the colonies, with my apparatus. for commercial use only.” The witness told of contracts with the Canadian government and algo mn independent understanding with New- foundland. “How far could the station at Cape Race maintain communication with a vessel?” asked Senator Smith. “Between 400 and 500 miles in the day and considerably over a thousand miles at night.” “You could maintain this coanectio easily with such ships as the Titani “Ses, gir” Mr. Marconi said the apparatus on | the steamer Mount Temple had oniy a 200 mile radius. Alarm Bell Cut Out. ‘Senator Smith asked Mr. Marconi if there was any arrangement which gave an”alarm on board ship when called by wireless. He said that in an old equipment . used on ships there was a bell arrangement which did not work well because it alarmed opera- tors on all ships as well as the one called. “Then there is mno alarm signal on instruments now ?” “No; but it may be possible to de- vise one.” Witness admitted that unless an operator sat constantly with his re- ceiver on his head he would not get a signal. Matter of Constant Duty. “Then ships should have operators continuously on duty, you think?" “Yes; if the wireless is to be of serv- ice to others, as in cases of distres: Asgked as to the pay of wirele operators, Mr. Marconi say that in Il".ngland the pay ranged from $4 to $12 a week with board and lodging. “It is easy to get operators at those wages,” he said, “because the sea is attractive to voung men,” The wages in America, Mr. Marconi said, were slightly higher. In reply to questions, witness said he was in New York on Sunday and Monday, April 14 and 15. When Carpathia Was Coming. He had no communication with the Carpathia Sunday or Monday, neither did he have any direct communication with Cape Race Sunday or any day up to the arrival of the Carpathia in New York, although he urged his of- fice that every means be tried to get | information from the disaster. The witness said he learned from his sec- retary between 7.30 and § o'clock Monday evening, April 15, that the Titanic had sunk. Tuesday evening he learned about the rescue made by the Carpathia. “I asked for farther information,” said the witness, “and was told by my operator that it would probably be impossible because the Carpathia would be extremely busy with the messages of the captain and the pas- sengers aboard.” He made no further attempt to reach the Carpathia because he did not care to exercise his authority to interfere with the operation of the wireless. Boarding the Carpathia. Mr. Marconi told of going aboard the Carpathia when it docked in New York, “lI went directly to the wire room,” he ' said, “and congratulated Bride, the Titanic’'s operator. on what he had done. Cottam, the Carpathia’s operator, was not there He called me later on the teiephone and asked me whether he might give out re« port of the wreck. I told he might do so under the circumstances.” Mr. Marconi added that there was an ironclad rule in his company’ reg- ulations prohibiting operators from acting as reporters. He said that under the British law it was a penal offense for an operator to send out any information of his own initiatives This, he said, probably was the rea- son why no reports of the disaster were forthcoming from the Carpathia on her way to New York, after cuing the Titanic’s survivors. “Did you send a wireless to the op- | erator of the Carpathia telling him to meet you and Sammis at the Strand hotel and to ‘keep your mouth shut’?” “I did not.” “pid you hear of such a m: age?” “Yes; from the newspaper: Smith read the message d up by the ( .
