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? Scholarships as Prizas. Without education In these days sue. cess Is almost Impossible.
