SAYS TAFT IS
WILLING TOOL
80 DECLARES SENATOR WORKS
OF CALIFORNIA.
Washington ,Sept. 18.—The demo
crats do not need to shoot President
Taft full of holes in order to show his
weakness, misdeeds and abject sub
mission to the “Big Interests” as the
Insurgent republicans are doing this
work for them and doing it well.
Senator Words ,of California ,a re
publican says Taft is a willing tool in
the hands of the great trusts and that
he has brought his party face to face
with the greatest crisis in Its history
In a recent speech Senator Clapp of
Minnesota, a life long republican has
denounced President Taft in flaming
words for his veto of the bill admit
ting to statehood Arizona and New
Mexico .which was vetoed simply on
the ground that Arizona had “the re
call” provision in her constitution.
They have gone so far to charge that
President Taft is trying to turn the
presidency Into an Imperial office and
thus deprive the American people of
self-government for our judges If th$y
cannot be recalled are our masters
and real rulers and seat of the pow
er of the great trusts. Our judges
are our Imepeial rulers.
