Uresiclout Taft I# throe speeches to M iismk , : UusottB oo April 25 personally 4tns»vm*i the misrepresentations of Theodore Roosevelt of the position of the president with respect to the ta mos of this compnlicn. with reapect to his luliuiulbitrutiou uud of Uiniself per- poiiiilly. The president said he re- jrretted the necessity of speakliuf plain ly a bout his \old frieiul.'' to whom he frankly ndiuitLed a phrsoual ohlijta- 1ion. The president said, however, that (lie situation created hy Mr. Roosevelt's personal attacks ou him unit liis admiuistrntiou made further silence intolerable. The basis of the president's reply to Sir. Uoose'olt was the well known \square deal\ maxim of Mr, Roose velt. As he answered each Roosevelt ebnrjie (lie president inquired, ‘‘Have 1 had n square deni?” In order (hose Biihjeets were trealed by the president. Misrepresentation of the President's Speeches. First. - Under this heading President Taft declared Ilia! Mr, lioOsevelt had deliberately misrepresented him when he said. “Mr. Taft defines the issue when he says that our government Is «ml should be a government of till the people by a represcuialive part of the people.\ “The excerpt which Mr Roosevelt uses is taken from my speeeb at To lerto,\ said (be president \It Is gar bled 1 did not say this ‘shoo'd be' a government of all the people by n rep resoiitative part of the people I said ii ‘is a government of all the people by a roprcsentnllve part of the people.' and II is I pointed out that this gov eminent of ours Is a government by the adult voting males 111 order to «lr>w the necessity for const itiifionnl restrictions to protect the nonvoters tl'nono tho people against the possible tnjnsl.iee and aggression of a majority ‘ of the voters Was It lumest was It fair in Theodore Roosevelt to seize one ♦tonfence from a speech to garble it 'and then give it a meaning which be knew from the context it could not bear? Do the people of Massuehn setts think that this is a sciunre deal?\ Unfair Chare* as to Bosses, Recond In reply to the charge thnt “bosses” were supporting tils candi dacy President Taft pointed out that William Piina of Pittsburgh, “cue of tile imrst leimieipal bosses 111 at the history of that state knows;” Walter Rrown of Ohio, “the omy boss in full commission in the state.” and William Ward of New York were supporting Mr Roosevelt. (Senator Crane of Mas- wiclnisells. whom Mr Roosevelt lias mentioned. President Taft said, bad •'three limns been Invited by Mr. Roosevelt, into his cabinet” and that Mr Roosevelt bad invited him to man ege bis presidential campaign in \When l consider Ihe eagerness with which Mr Rooseieit has accepted iu ids various campaigns the assistance of Mr Aldrich. Mr. Cannon, Mr. Pen rose, Mr (Riay. Mr. Plait, Mr. For nker and many other men,” said tlie president. “I do not hesitate to say that it involves the most audacious ef frontery on his part to attack me be cause men he characterizes as bosses are now supporting me. This is pecul iarly unfair cm his part in view of his well known political history and is an- oltier instance of his departing from the rule of ti square deni\ False Statements In Larimer Case to People of Illinois. Third.—Ju this connection President Taft said Mr. Roosevelt had made' it appear that a vote cast for Taft In Illi nois would be a vote for Lorimer. “1 have not seen Mr. Lorimer for two years and have had no eommauieation with or from him,\ be said. “I did not ask his support. I7e did not tender It to me. Any Influence he may have given in my favor was not because he liked me, but because tie feit more bit ter toward Mr. Roosevelt.\ The presi dent then quoted in fml a letter hp had himself written to Mr. Roosevelt ou Jan. 6. 1911, la which be outlined the steps he was taking to hare Lorimer unseated to the senate and stating that Senators Root, Burton, Nelson and oth ers had become interested at bin sug gestion He pointed ont to Mr. Roose velt how they could best work togeth er on the ease. **T ma te this totter -pubfie endy to /show that of aft the people to the world Theodore Roosevelt ongbt to have known and did know that I was not a partisan of Lortmer. did not sympa thize with him and never gave Mr. 5 S2 5 # the f*et SEv** a rt jthnt | m im m M ttteaA a ^ tttflw e l nest, stated the argusoeats jho ob A coa, lamarfattT the effect at It aktuA cultural prgducta, sad u M fcta to coaler with hta colleague# on the Ort- •Took az to Ka wtadOtoAMpehttchmat .and tet me know hta and their jufig- ,<ueuL.

In hi* letter the president declared he atgtpd the Payuedfartff bill not only because it wns a better law than the IMnftey law. but because it was a coo cession by the Republican party that down ward rovtalau was necessary and be cause the old doctrine that what was needed was a Chinese wall had been departed from. Admitting that while it might tem porarily have a tendency to reduce the cost of food products, the president said he believed jit would In the end tend to it nubility of food prices. The president said also. “We shall get a revision, not as heavy a one os 1 would like, but a substantial one and equiv alent certainly to the French reciproc ity treaty (between Canada and Frnncei and probably more—on manu factures.\ Me also pointed out that Panada’s entire business after the adoption of the treaty would then be conducted through the United States. To this letter Mr. Roosevelt replied: _ T /» M 1 * 8 * aMMkMtod «■ - Bethea __ tichieTeMeto ef A aem evat t i i t» the totawtalv w f c none lair la deUtt, point hag am t t | tech tertaoce that practically .antt itatote ebjeettea Mr. Roosevelt ftOW made to that law hs has himself wc- ommeuded, inctodlug ths cooupecce court Repudiate* His Owa Trask ilestwd- i Kiath.w8tatlug. that hs had tfrttoa. frsqoeot ^pleasure la upholding lte*l- dsat Roosevelt's prosecutloo of Illegal trusts. t|A President sal|: “Mow I fad »ff * • oorgo<^te$taifwtotb*I®ct that Lusher,$ is the best place to buy good goods at cheap |*ices m Beaverhead county, people Of the Big Hqfe Basis vfeo -visit Dilkm ought not to return without calhng to inspect our sate Cell and Be Convinced ------------ Headquarters in Beaverhead Mail Orders Always Receive Prompt Attention County for Bargains 1 x-o JVi X'O.XXiX'C; X OIL |X5XM xt X a li) XXX Q xt toetofttoter rayine else the sUgbtest [art altar It scums to me that what you propose to do with Canada la admirable from ev ery standpoint.

Fifth.— Concerning thechargethat he had received stolen goods,” the presi dent characterized the charge of Mr. Rousei ell uinj Senator Dixon as “Insult ing\ and ''hysterical.\ Us pointed out that, the charge with reference to Ken tucky had been shown to be untrue in (lie Kentucky convention itself, where (lie charges were withdrawn; that in New Y ork the Roosevelt committee had a recourse to the courts, but did not take it, and that In Indianapolis the charge of frau<J wag made “before the polls were opened.\ “The truth is,\ said the president, “that it has been perfectly evident from the first thgt the deliberate plan of .Senator Dlxop has been to claim everything exultlugly aud with fhe ut most confidence and to meet t£e re- PA'ts of the election of adverse dele gates by directing in advance the bringing of trumped up contesta. It Is hardly necessary to say that this Is not in accordance with the square deaf. Th* Unfounded Charge a t to the Uae ef Patronage. “Sixth - 1 do not deny,” said the pres ident, “that under the present system of appointments federal officeholders w 111 lie interested in politics and tfke part therein aud will support those to w hose appointment they attribute their preferment. Under present conditions, however, and under the policy which has been pursued la this administra tion there are to office today at least 70 per cent of those who were In office by appointment uqder Theodore Roose velt. In view of bis candidacy It fa natural that a great number of these officeholders should favor him rather than me, i#d such is the fact, and Mr. Roosevelt cannot he Ignorant of it. In spite of the very great activity of a number of such officers against me. not a man of them has been removed.” The president then cited the fact that federal referees in control of patron age in Alabama, Louisiana and Texas besides even governors of states sup porting Mr. Roosevelt, all had thetr of ficeholders opposing the president, la view of his extreme fairness in the matter the president said: “The Influ ence of federal officeholders to the Chicago convention will be less effec tive for any one candidate than ever before to the Maters of the party\ The president tbea Inquired if Hs treatment on tHs issue by Mr. Roose velt was a sample of the square deal Roosevelt and CM f la Seventh.—President Taft said Mr. Roosevelt had charged that “1 desert ed the progressives tad beeme a re actionary.” Hetaid hour, with the a p p e m lef Mr Roosevelt, he had had a * setter with Joseph 0. Cannon, the then speaker ef the boose, with a view to bringing about« revfeieu a t the tort*. TM* oc curred before fata own Mr. Rooaevelt coming (fee other way, denoancteg the antl-troet law and de nouncing prosecutions qnder It B* ■ays that the decree ia the Standard OU case Is ineffective, that the price of atock ha* goge up and that my ad ministration Is to be condemned be cause the decree was confirmed by the supreme court The truth Is that the decree as finally entered aud enforced was drawn exactly as Mr. Roosevelt's attorney genera) In the bill, which by direction of Mr. Roosevelt he filed against the Standard OU company, had aaked that It be drawn.” The president then declared that f/oth the dec talon against the Standard OU company and the tobacco trust had been more effective then Mr. Roosevelt would admit and that com petitive conditions had been restored and better prices were now being paid than ever before to the tobacco grow era and the producers of crude oil. Concerning Mr. Roosevelt’s proposed plan to abolish the entl-truat lav and regulate the trust!, he said he hod of fered no constructive plan whatever except for the president to separate the “good\ from the \bad\ trusts, process which offered no stability to business and “amounted to nothing tn the end but the establishment of benevolent despotism.\ Who Represents th* Interests In This Contest? leqth.—In reply to the charge that he represent! the Interests in this cpn test, the president aald the record of bis administration afforded the best answer. Bis long record of prqsecu tlojsa, without fear or favor, he said, “must show to a fair minded public that thia administration has no favor ites among lawbreakers or thqse seek ing special privileges.'' A Menae* to tho Whole |u«infa« Com munity. “Eleventh.—One of the real reasons wtoy Mr. Rooaevelt ought not to be se lected as a candidate of any party Is the natural distrust the whole business community will have in reaped to the measure* which Mr. Roosevelt will pro pose in order to effect a revolution in the interest of social jostles which he advocates so strongly and defines so vaguely,\ declared this preetdent. 8tat ing that Mr. Roosevelt's pronounce n.eqt with respect t# the control of business at first met with favor amopg certain business interests, the presi dent said the program outlined by bis Columbus speech bad so greatly alarm ed business that it could only contem plate the danger to the security ef all business by bis threatened undermln ing of our constitutional government and his attack upon the Independence of the judiciary, “I affirm that the nomination of Mr Roosevelt would extend through the business community a feeling of such distrust as to the future asHo interfere with th# good times which, if business Is let alone and present conditions con tlnue, will expand Into the most en couraging prosperity, and this will bring happiness to wage earners who are more Injuriously affected by dis turbance of business than any other members of the community.\ President en Third Term. Ia conclusion the president took up th# “third term\ issue. Quoting Mr. Roosevelt's announcement that he would “under no circumstances\ be a candidate again, the president said: “If be had frankly announced that he had changed hto mind no one would be disposed to held Urn to a promise of that sort merely because he had made it The promise and hto treatment of it only throw an informing light on the value that ought now to be attached to any promise of this kind he may make for the future. The important fact is that Ms declaration was the statement of a principle essential to the welfare of the repubtte.\ The president then reviewed Mr. Boeeevelt'a vartane etetean for support on tbe^groqnd of merit and concluded that he had offend no substantial, coo- atnettve remedy for any pro of which be complained. “We are left to infer, therefore, that <0» Job\ vMrh Mr. Roosevelt Is to perform la one that may taka a long time,\ aald the pretd- the rest of Ms natural <» < I - 1 «t <» » t THE MINT J.
