LAMBERTVILLE, N. ,L. May 24 - ) That the strain of hi.- campaign for j I icnomination is telling severely on I President Taft was made evident when . I he dashed northward by train and auto > I through New Jersey today in his cf- : i forts to win the state's delegation. He made his first speech here, warn- ! : mg the people to beware of the thiid- | i term ambition of Theodore Roosevelt I and defending liis administration. His ■ voice was husk.' and the happy smili . ) which he showed during' the latter day. , of the Ohio campaign, was completely ) missing. The president's face was I dr-wn and the effects of his arduous work showed plainly. During his day's work the president j expects several times to cross the trail i of Senator LaFollette, who is also tiy i ing to win the state from both Taft and Roosevelt. I After his car platform speech here j the president proceeded to Frenchtow n land Phillipsburg. From the latter point ! his program called for an automobile toui that would take him to Somer- I ville. New Brunswick. Plainfield and | Elizabeth. He will reach New York | tonight “We’ve Got ’Em,’’ Exclaims Colonel NEW YORK. Mav 24.—" We've got 'em.'' With this terse but much-meaning exclamation Colonel Roosevelt today started out on his second day s inva sion of New Jersey. He was in happy spirits because of the enthusiastic r< - eeption given him yesterday. The colo nel's program called for eleven speeches I as follows: Burlington. Hammonton. Egg Har bor, Atlantic City. Millville. Vineland. Biidgeton. Glassboro. Woodbury, Cam den and Clinton, concluding at 9:30 tonight, when ho will return to New York. The tour as planned brought him al most wUthin hailing distance of Presi ; dent Taft, and tonight he will speak in Camden, where the president, was greet led by a large crowd last night. i | A small army of photographers ac companied the colonel and he had a glad word for all of those in his retinue whom he knew. The news in the morn ing papers was to his liking, and espe- i cially that containing the comment of ! the English press on the fact that New I York newspapers were disposed to un- > derrate his importance as a factor in j the national fight.

Dis patches reaching here today from Rel lano. scene of the 24-hout battle be tween the forces of the Mexican fed erals anti the rebels under General. Orozco, confirm the reports that Oroz co’s forces ’ were defeated, while both sides suffered heavy loss in dead and wounded. The government's force, something more than 4.oufi men. was commanded by* General Huerta. Oroz co's lighting force was more than 5,000. Orozco himself directed the lighting. Time after time his headquarters were under the long range fire of the federal artillery. His lieutenants pleaded with him to retire to safer quartets, but iie was undisturbed. Rebels’ Guns Too Small. The rebel defeat was due largely to their lack of artillery, dispatches today say. They were obliged continuously ! to fall back under the fire of the federal , artillery, while the fedcrals advanced and fought under the protection of the fire from the heavy guns. The falling shells from the cannon kicked up Stif- I ling clouds of alkali dust that made it impossible foi the rebels to direct? their flro accurately . Soldiers in both armies were tortured by the intense heal. The rebels today are falling back to- Ward Juarez. They are pursued by a band of federal cavalry 10,000 U. S Troops j.
