Thua far the greatest blow that ha ben dealt to the Taft movement was ti unexiected and overwhelming Kooaerelt tory In Pennsylvania. That waa Important not only on account of the number of delegate Involved, but hauc of the moral effect In other Mites which have come to regard Pennsylvania as a hide-bound Repub lican state, stoutly opposed to all that Is labeled i-rrresslve." The. Iloose velt victory In Pennsylvania probably marked the critical period In the He publican campaign for the, Presidential nomination, and the Massachusetts primary will be the antl-cllmax. As to the ultimata effect of a Roose velt victory In Maaaarbuaetta. opinions differ. The Roosevelt managers de clare that It will Insure the nomination of the folonel by the Chicago conven tion. But this la dispelled by Taft man agers and Is not necessarily true. Re Sard less of how Massachusetts may go. and regardless of how many delegates yet to be chosen may be Instructed for Roosevelt, the fact remains that no candidate will bo to Chicago ftvlth enough Instructed delegates to give him the nomination. The balance of power will be In the. hands of Hie. un Instrncted delegates. Including the big delegation from New Tork. Dark nwrsve" la ICssecvea. This has been a year of many po litical surprises, and political fore casta are of little ur no value. Hut this much would seem to be true: the unin structed delegate at the Chicago con vention, before declaring themselves, will luok the Held over and search for the candidate most likely to carry the November election. If nominated. Being unlns tructed. these delegates will not be concerned over the political fortunes of any man or any candidate: they will be concerned solely over the welfare of the party, and ultimately they will give their support to the most promis ing man available, whether he be an vowed candidate or not. Thla brings cp the question of a dark horse, or some compromise candidates The Roosevelt manager scout the Idea that there can be any possibility of nominating a. compromise candidate at the Chicago convention. They point to the Roosvelt victories in Illinois, Pennsylvania. Oregon. Nebraska mul otier states, and declare, that those victories are demonstration enous'h of the strength of the Colonel with tne voters. They overlook the fact, how ever, that a very large element In the Republican party will not support Colo nel Rocwevel:. if nominated: they over look the. fact that the es-Ireldent's record, and particularly his t'l record and hla relations with corporation men. la even now being revived, and la to bo widely evpiottrd by friends of Presi dent Taft. They Ignore the prejudice against a tnlrd term and treat lightly the charge that Colonel Roosevelt, in becoming a candidate this year, repud iated his written pledge to the Amer lan people.

If the un lnstructed Republican delegates could look Into the future and know who Is to head the Democratic ticket, they could better determine as to the chances of electing Roosevelt. If be should be nom inated. Today the Republican party Is split into two factions, bitterly arrayed, one against the other. A National ticket headed by the leader of either faction would most certainly be kntfed at tne polls n?xt November. In the event th Baltimore convention names a ring ticket, democracy would have a splen did chance to aweep the country next Fall and would profit greatly by the accession of some dl.gr nled Repub licans, and by the fact that other Re prblicans would refuse to cast their ballots f Taft or for Roosevelt.

But there is little prospect of this, for La Follette baa been too prominently Identified with one of the two big factions In the Republican party to appeal to mem bers of the other faction, even aa a compromise. He would not run well In the Kast. where the nominee must look for the bulk of votes.

Honorable means could easily be found to relieve him of any embarrassment. In the public record of Charles K. Hughes, of New York.

Senator Joseph M. Dlxon. chairman of the Na tional Roosevelt committee, tonight gave t-ut copies of a telegram from James R. tSarfleld, who waa Secretary of the Interior In 1507. It follows In part: "Mr. Taft waa In full accord with the Idea of making the moat thorough and careful Investigation by the bureau of corporations before beginning a prose cution tn a case where the officers of the corporation offered and gave every ennortunltv to examine their books and aided 'he Government in making the In vestigation, as waa the case with re spect to both the Harvester and Steel companies. "Further, the Harvester and Steel companies explicitly waived any ques tion of Immunity such as had arisen In the bef trust, and they underatood that If th Investigations developed faots Justifying prosecutions. prosecution would follow. "Mr. Taft was In absolute accord with that .net hod. From the time J was a member of the Cabinet there were gen ral discussions at Cabinet meetings of this method of procedure, and It was thoroughly nderstood and approved by every member of tie Cabinet."

Colonel Roose velt during his campaign tour of Essex County today isaued a statement reply ing to that made by the President last night regarding the harvester trust case. The President had said that "so far aa my recollection goes. I never heard the Harvester trust jnatter mentioned In any Cabinet meeting that I ever at tended." Colonel Roosevelt said In his reply, written on the trsln: "I clearly remember Mr. Telt being present at such -discussion an: faking part in It." He added that th. President had treated this matter "In a way to show that he subordinates he Interest of the people as a whole to ths purpose of se-i-urins pollticsl advantages lor him self." Taft Away. Saa Celoael. Colonel Rooseelt said: "Of course. Mr. Taft was away, as every one knew, while I was discuss ing this matter In personal Interviews with officials of the Department of Commerce and Labor, including the Bu reau of Corporations and df the Depart ment of Justice, but both before and after he came back the matter was re peatedlv brought up In the Cabinet and discussed at length. Mr. Bonaparte haa stated In the letter I have quoted that Mr. Taft took the Initiative In approv ing the course I followed. My mem orv la to the same effect. "He this as it may, however. Mr. Taft had and could not have failed to have full Information as to the action taken. Every Important matter of this kind Involving a question between two departments of the Administration al ways was threshed out in full cabinet and this waa especially true of the questions of this particular nature be tween the Department of Justice and the Secretatry of Commerce and Labor.

"When he came back from his trip abroad I went over with him not only this case, but every other case of Im portance, such as that of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company, which I thought might by any possibility have any bearing on the general policy of the administration.

Indeed, toward every species of busi ness. I handled and have alwaya han dled every question of big business and of all other business, not from the standpoint of party or factional advan tage, and without the leaat regard to my own personal fortunes or to the po litical fortunes of anyone else, but on Its merits and with the sole object of helping reach a satisfactory solution of business problems. In the Interest of the entire people of the I'nlted States. -Mr. Taft has treated thla Harvester Trust question In a way to ahow that he subordinate the Interests of the people as a whole to the purpose of securing political advantage for him self." Roosevelt was given a noisy wel come at Beverly. President Taft s Sum mer home, where he made a brief speech. The Colonel brought out a laugh from the crowd at Salem when he said: "Every standpatter loves a pro gressive who Is dead. We want to apply Lincoln's principles to the labor problems. We got the direct primaries here In Massachusetta," he continued. "In spite of the opposition of the machine. We got it because we are willing to abide by the decision of the people.

Bonaparte. Attorney-General In Presi dent Roosevelt's Cabinet. In a speech before the Young Mens' Roosevelt League here today, declared that Col nel Roosevelt Is right In connection with President Taft, regarding the case of the International Harvester Com pany. Mr. Bonaparte asserted that the Roosevelt Cabinet took up for dis cussion the Harvester case after Mr. Taft had returned from the Phili ppines rln January or February. 1801 and that wnlle he could not swear to It. It was his best belief that Taft took part in the conference between Roosevelt and the Cabinet. Mr. Bonaparte In stating what he de clared were the facta in the case, said Colonel Roosevelt aften wrote him In formally something like this: " 'Dear B What's, truth about this. Lt me see you before you do anything about It? This happene4 in numer ous cases. "n every single Instance he always told me to go thead and do what 1 thought was right. It Is a positive falsehood that he ever told me not to prosecute a trust or anyone else. "Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, had been Investigating the Harvester trust as a result of a Senate resolution. In January or Feb ruary, lyOS long after Mr. Taft had coiu hath J1'! ir'ET111?- rg-!llna.t agreed that It would, be best to wait until smitn naa compieieu n " gatlon. Senator Hansbrough had in troduced In the Senate a resolution for an investigation of the Harvester Trust and Smith waa making the Investiga tion for the Senate. Hansbrough could not get his resolution rescinded. I have not the Congressional records at hand, but the time when the Senate refused to rescind the Hansbrough resolution, was the time when Mr. Taft was here. The exacl date can be estab lished from the records. "I could not swear that Mr. Taft was present and took part in the Cabinet debate, but I believe he was." BIG CROWDS CHEER TAFT (Continued From First Page.) thlsi a government of all the peo ple because It belongs to all of us men. women and children. . . . But when you come to the expression, gov ernment by the people, that means a government of those who control the Government, and who are they? They are th-s voting part of the people. They are the adult males and they are taken as a rtpresentative part of all the peo ple, is there any doubt about that fact? I was showing It for the purpose of pointing out that it waa necessary to protect the rights of the non-voting part who make three-fourths of all the people: that It was necessary to have constitutional restrictions on the vot ing part to prevent them from making unjust aggressions on the non-votlng part o; the people. That Is our theory of government. Celeael's Falraeas Impugned. "Now, what does my opponent do? He takes this one sentence. Jhat this la a government of the people, for the people, by a representative part of the people, and he saya thla: 'Didn't I tell you he distrusted the people? That means a government by a representa tive ;-art; It means a government by a few; It means a government by an oli garchy; It means a government by aris tocracy, by an aristocracy of bosses and special privilege.' "I want to ask If you think that Is on the level? Do you ' think It Is a square deal? And as President of the I'nlted States, am I not as entitled to a square deal as the humblest cltlxen and am I not to have my language construed, as any man would construe, read in connection with the rest of my speech? WOMEN TLAN DEMONSTRATION Suffragist Calls Taft-Rooevclt Row Disgraceful Spectacle. CHICAGO, April 2. Chicago suf fragists, after a meeting of the No Vote, No Tax League, have announced plans for a demonstration at the Re publican National Convention In June, and also have expressed their opinions of the Taft-Rooaevelt fight. A committee of women outlined a plan for a parade of 16.000 In the downtown streets and through the Col iseum at the time of the Republican convention. Miss Bell Squire, president of the league, said the Republican party had played false to women on many occa sions, and then launched into an at tack on Colonel Roosevelt and Presi dent Taft. "The spectacle of two men like Taft and Roosevelt doing the thing they are doing today Is disgusting. It Is a most Illuminating example of what men will do. Nothing can be said about wom en's scraps after thla." WAR DECLARED ON "REDS" France Determined lo Drive An archils Beyond Border. PARIS, April 29. Relentless war against the anarchlats In France is to be one result of the operations of the Bonnot band of automobile brigands, two of whose leader were killed yes terday at Cholsy-Le-Rol, near Paris, after a battle with police and soldiers. The police are amazed at the dis covery of the many anarchists who have taken refuge In Paris from va rious European countries. These now will be arrested and driven from France as enemies of society. The melodramatic end of Bonnot called forth admiration among certain portions of the revolutionary classes, and many arrests have been made when this sentiment was expressed In public.

HARVESTER 'TRUST' TO BE SUED T United States Will File Bill at St. Paul for Dissolution of Corporation. 5-YEAR PROBE IS ENDED Department of justice Sees in "Spreading" or $140,000,000 Concern a Possible Monopoly In All Farm Implements. WASHINGTON. April 29. A civil Btl-trust suit, seeking the dissolution of the International Harvester Com pany under the Sherman law will be filed in St. Paul tomorrow. This is the culmination of an investigation extending over five years. The International Harvester Com pany is a J140.000.000 corporation, com posed of six subsidiaries McCormlck. Deering. Champion, MtlwauKee, Os borne and l lano. The refusal of the company to sepa rate In any plan of dissolution the McCormlck and Deering companies, said to be its two principal subsidiaries, rendered futile the efforts of Attorney-General Wlckersham and the Inter national's counsel to reach an agree ment, 00 Per Cent Control Charged. The Government maintained that the so-called trust, as a whole, controlled from 85 to 90 per cent, of the harvester business of the country, and that the McCormlck and Deering firms repre sented from 60 to 65 per cent, of the business. Under these conditions the Attorney-General refused to oonsent to any plan which held the McCormick and Deerlnc Companies as one. During the last few months Attorney-General Wlckersham and the cor poration's counsel have made efforts to agree on a plan of disintegration which would meet the ends of the law. Government Aaka Dissolution. One Important contention of the Gov ernment was that the International Harvester Company, of America, the selling agent of the combination, should be dissolved. The Harvester Company is spreading Into many side lines of farming equip ment In addition to harvesters, such as farm wagons, motor trucks and cream separators and Department of Justice officials maintain that unless the dis integrated concerns possess far less than 60 per cent of the business, pos sibilities would he open for monopoly In many farm Implements and ma terials In addition to the harvesters. 3AISS3H00Hd3a 01 VNIHO Continue!

The mining laws, too, must be reformed and commercial laws adopted and enforced. . The troops in China, said Yuan Sht Kal, are unnecessarily numerous and the Ministry of War had been Instruct ed to reduce the number. Religious liberty will be guaranteed. In conclusion the President prom ised an implicit observance of all treaties and promised that all engage ments would be speedily met. The President's message haa made an excellent Improsslon among the people In general. The government apparently realizes the danger or try ing to modernize the country too rap Idly.
