Boston. Dec. II.—Without referring
to his candidacy for the presidency,
Secretary Taft last night spoke at o
dinner given by the Boston Merchants'
Association and Indorsed all the poli
cies of President Roosevelt. He re
futed the charges that the president
was In any way responsible for tho re
cent money flurry or rich men's panic.
"Guilty Managers."
Those responsible for the panic, he
aald, were the “guilty managers of some
of the large railroad and financial en
terprises." and not those who, In the
course of their official duty, have made
known to the business world the foctk
and commented on them. He denied
that the administration had arraigned
the whole business world as dishonest.
The president had condemned the law.
breakers and convinced those who had
unlawfully accumulated enormous
power and capital that they were not
Immune. The president, he declared
had never raid otherwise than that the
business men of the country, as a
whole, were honest and their methods
found.
Rats Law Not Cause.
That the railroad rate law was re
sponsible for the financial panic, Mr.
Taft characterised as absurd, and os
for the shrinkage In the value of rail
road stocks, he said that neither Mr.
Roosevelt nor his administration were
responsible for state legislation against
railroads.
As to 8tate Legislation.
The action of the state legislatures
against railroads, he declared, was oc
casioned by the same revelations of
lawlessness and discrimination In rail
way management that made the Feder
al rate bill a necessity; but, he said, "If
the state measures have been too dras.
tic the cause of the Injustice Is not
with the national government”
Mr. Taft launched upon the sea of
government ownership of railroads, and
declared that he was opposed to the
Idea, becauseit meant state socialism
and an Increase In the power of the
central government that would be dan
gerous.

So It truly behooves every one of the
candidates to get Into the game with
•very effort while the opportunity pre
sents Itself. This offer will positively
not be repeated.
Just Four Days.
There are still four dsys more of the
special offer of voles and prises. You
know, of course, that Is not n very
long time, but It la plenty of time for
you to get several sets of subscrip
tions. so that you ran gather several
thousand extra votes and thus get
enough to Insure yourself at least first
place In your district.
What a chance for some good hus-
>r, for with ten new yearly subscrip
tions she would receive 10,000 votes,
which Is more than many of the can
didates In the race now have to their
credit.
Now Is the time, this Is the place, but
are you the girl? You are the one to
decide that, and we are willing to help
you In every way possible If you but
show that you are Interested. It will
not' be hard to win one of the fine
prises If you will take an Interest In
the contest, go and ite your friends,
and tell them that you are in thq race
and that you are going lo win will)
their assistance. If you will do this,
you will be surprised to see how rap
idly the votes will roll up. Before a
week has paused you will be one nf the
leaders, and If you get out and work
a bit you i self, you ran easily get
enough votes to win.
Notice tho Districts.
You will see from looking over the
list of candidates In the various dis
tricts that some of the highest have
less than 5,900 votes to their credit,
which show s that a hustler could enter
any of these districts ana get one of
the prises Note In District No. S, for
Instance, that the leader has le«»;thnn
4,000 votes to her credit, which Is Ices
than two yearly subscriptions. This
alone show* that If you live In this
district nnd enter the race you should
have a splendid chance to win one of
the prises that are offered. This Is an
opportunity of a lifetime, and If you do
not grasp It you will have Aiure to re
gret your Indifference. You ought to
make, the most of It by entering the
race today. Just stop and flgure out
what you could do If you- secured ten
yearly subscriptions. .This would net
you 20,000 votes, which Is mort than
most nf the candidates now have to
their credit In the entire race, and It Is
more than all nf the candidates com
bined have to their credit In District
No. S.
Aftr- rending this, can you say that
It Is too late to enter the race? Of
rourse not, nor can any one say so, for
If you want to win one of the prises
you ran. You have all to gain and
nothing to lose, so why not try?
