lnt Taft's first day of hi final ram
rnn through Ohio, which came to an
rnl wttn a speech her tonight, wii
mirhnl by the moot pronounced verbal
ult upon Colonel Roosevelt to
which Mr. Taft o far has given public
utterance.
He started at Marietta on hla last
campaign to nrit the people of Ohio
10 -support him In the primaries of
Mar 21. Although In substance all of
the doxen speeches the President made
were much like those he delivered In
M.Mchurtli and Maryland, they dif
fered widely at times In the words
Uftcd to score Mr. KoosevelL.
KMWirll Held 1 mmmtr.
fm of the attacks on Mr. Roose
velt which raised a laugh, ran Ilka
thin:
"I think It would be dansrerous to
put strain In the White ilouee a man
with Mr. ItooseT'K'a present constitu
tional vlema. With the elation he wouUI
r.rrvnarlly feet by reason of getting
eomethlnic that all the great Presi
dents have nerer gotten, it would not
be safe.
"He says the reason the American
people are going to elect him la be-
suite he U necessary for the Job.
Well. I hope the American people will
not think that he Is necessary for the
I want to call your attention to
what the Job la that he proposes. It
Is the millennium that he Is going to
bring about when he gets Into office.
Ail bosses are going to disappear, pol
iticians are going to be fewer and he
l s-oing to have a finger In every com
munity In every state. In every county,
ixl e-rj thing Is going to heaven.
IV for Ufef Ask Taft.
"If that be true the millennium la
coming and If that Is the Job he Is to
do. It Is going to take longer than four
years. 1 be? of you to ask him when
he comes here whether he would take
a fourth term, ask him whether he la
golnz to take a fifth term and why
be should not continue In office dur
ing his life."
Another sally that brought a re
sponse was much like that delivered
at Cambridge. Speaking there of the
Job Mr. Hoosevelt said the people
wanted Mm to do. President Taft
asked: "Suppose Mr. Kooaevelt were
wafted to the skies In a chariot like
the prophet of old and were to dis
appear from tight, how do you sup
pose this country would set along,
anvhow?
"My friends. It Is a dangerous thing
t put In the White House a man for
the third term with his views of the
Constitution anil with his vlewa of
himself. In every announcement he
makes, yon would think he were the
whole show and that there was not
anybody else In the country.
"Ifs "I. I. I.' and. therefore. I aay.
that If you feed that vanity and that
egotism by giving him something that
Washington did not get and Jefferson
did not get and Jackson did not get.
and Grant could not get. you are go
ing to put him In office with a senae
of power and with a view of constitu
tional restrictions that will be dan
gerous to this country."
Mr. Taft compared Hoosevelt and
ljn-otn with a smile.
"Mr. Hoosevelt likens himself to
Abraham Ijncoln more and resemblea
him less than any man In the history
f this country." he remarked.
Mr. Taft called upon the Roosevelt
barkers to fit.d one Indictment If he
bad done wrong, asked for more facta
and less "lurid headlines and lung
power" and dubbed the campaign the
ei-PrrsUlent Is making against him
"a. -curatory and libelous."

election. That Is what Mr. Kooaevelt
proposes to do, he said, by destroying
the Independence of the Judiciary.

ert W. Archbald'e defense. In part at
least, to the charges against him now
being aired before the house Judiciary
committee, which will decide If Im
peachment proceedlnga shall be
brought, was indicated at today's
hearing.
What appeared to have been a de
liberate trap aet to catch the Jurist
In an embarrassing transaction waa
revealed by the testimony and the de
fense indicated that It would make
the most of It.
It waa alleged that W. P. Boland.
of Scranton. Pa., who had been one of
the different partlea to a case In Judge
Archibald's court, purposely had Ed
ward J. Williams, the principal wit
ness against the Judge, solicit Arch
bald to enter the Katydid culm bank
operation with the Erie Road while
the road's lighterage cases were pend
ing In the court.
This action led to filing of chargea
against the Judge. Poland Is watting
to testify and probably will be heard
tomorrow.
HOPE OF HARMONY IS VAIN
(Onttnned from First rs.
Coiner, who got In from Tacoma early
In the evening, has been given the
leadership In the Taft fight. He la
supremely confident of being able to
aeat the Taft delegates, though the
early arrivals among state committee
men were not aa large aa anticipated.
However, It Is true that practically all
the committeemen who were In town
early in the evening lean toward Taft.
TaftLeada Cesasalttee.
One poll of the atate committee given
by a Roosevelt leader fixes the strength
aa 30 for Taft and It for Roosevelt.
Thia Is about the estimate the Taft
rren had made earlier In the fight.
The state committee meets at 14
o'clock Wednesday morning to hear
contests Involving 107 seats, more or
less. The best Information obtainable
tonight la that Roosevelt men will have
no contest from Kkaglt County, which
rumors afloat for two days have said
would be presented. Insofar as Roose
velt men In town know, the proposed
contest from Pacific County also will
be abandoned. Taft forces are count
ing on C. C. Oose to appear with a con
teat on the Walla Walla delegation,
but he waa not in the early crowd in
town.
The slight uncertainty about these
two contests makes the total number
of convention seats In controversy
donbtf uU but the number will either be
277 or 307. If the latter number. It
will mean ti per cent of the conven
tion places will be in dlapute.
Pel lee te Be oa Gaard.
If the atate committee seats the Taft
delegates. Kooaevelt men Insist they
will carry out their programme of
storming the Orand Theater, where the
convention Is to meet Wednesday. Ar
rangements have been made to protect
the theater entrances by all the mem
bers of the police and Sheriff's forces
and by IS special deputies a' ready ap
pointed. In addition some of tre Taft
forces to arrive tomorrow are ex
pected to bring extra convention
guards.
kocal Roosevelt leaders have not en
gaged a second convention hall, al
though It Is rumored that both the
Eagle and Pythian halls are held tn
reserve. The latter hail haa been en
gaged by some mysterious political
agent for a meeting to be held to
morrow night.
Seating arrangementa mads for the
Grand Theater discloss a clever Taft
plan. It will be neceasary to use both
the first floor and balcony to take cara
of the delegates. Local committeemen
have seated most of the Roosevelt un
contested delegations in the balcony,
leaving the main floor for the counties
where contests ore pending and where
Taft men expect to win through state
committee Influences.
On the theory that two conventions will
be held this disposal of places would
put the Taft delegates who will
stay In the canventlon on the
lower floor. If the Roosevelt forces
should agree to remain after the com
mittee action.they would be off the main
floor and a disadvantage. And as a third
possibility If the Roosevelt men should
rapture the convention the Roosevelt
delegations whose clear title to seats
squill riv them control would be made
! to suffer through poor location In the
hall.
SQUARE DEAL HAY'S RFXJVEST
Governor Vrgos All Contests Be I
cided on Merits.
OLYMPIA, Wash., May IS. (Special.)
Believing that there' will be much
trouble at the Aberdeen Republican
state convention Wednesday if any at
tempt is made by either the Taft or
Roosevelt supporters to attempt "steam
roller" methods. Governor Hay, who has
been seeking to bring about peace In
the party, tonight issued a statement In
which he says:
"As the Governor of the state I feel
that I have a right to speak for the
people and demand a square deal."
He urges that all contests be decided
on their merits, and that If the Roose
velt or Taft forces control, the winning
faction be -allowed to send Its own
delegation back to the National con
vention at Chicago. Efforts to bring
about a compromise and to swing
Washington into line for Hughes have
not made much headway yet, so Gov
ernor Hay Is demanding that each side
be given a square deal.

SPOKANE, Waab... May 13. (Special.)
Delegatea to the Republican conven
tion at Aberdeen left over the North

were secured to run an extra train and
the Spokane delegation will go In a

least 60 delegates will take the trip,
according to 13. B. Hell, secretary of

Belief in Innocence.
SALEM. Or May 13. (Special.)
Claiming that they were robbed of
about lit) by convict "honor men" who
are employed on a road camp on the
Turner roitd near Salem, four Immi
grants made compluint to the officers
today and declared that they would
not return to work unless some pru
visloln for another camp be made for
them by the county.
The Immigrants and the convicts were
working on the same road work, but
had separate camps. The foreigners
gave their names as Peter I'milech,
Joe Steve. I'selaih Keneyevlch and Dan
Corah. They came In today and col
lected the amount of money which was
due them for their work and made the
complaint.
They stated that Saturday night the
robbery occurred, and that this was
the first chance which they have had
to make complaint. They talked In
broken Knglish and it was difficult to
understand their conversation. but
enough could be gathered to ascertain
that they alleged some of the "honor
men" broke Into their camp and took
the money.
Superintendent Fltxgerald. of the
Tuberculosis Sanatorium, near where
the campa were atatloned, and Acting
Superintendent Curtla, of the Peniten
tiary, both atate that they think the
convicts did not commit the crime.
They aay the convicts have been
searched and no money found on them.
There are about Z0 convicts In the
camp which was removed. It Is stated
by the county officials that the immi
grants have been particularly good
workmen, and arrangements will be
made to have their camp moved a con
siderable distance, and It ia thought
that they may be persuaded to return
to work.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. The 11th
hour of the Presidential primary com
palen took an unexpected turn today.
Governor Jonnson, who announced that
he had closed his campaign for Roose
velt, reopened it with an attack, on
the Panama-Pacific Exposition man
agement for Importing a Cabinet officer
"to do Taft politics." as he charged, at
the cost of exposition funds; and he
lengthened his speaking lis to Include
an addresa tonight In .Berkeley.
"I've Just learned." said the Governor,
"that the exposition paid 15000 for the
expenses of the private cur of Secre
tary Knox on his recent visit.
Talks by Knox Offend.
"There would be no objection thus
to pay the expenses of a distinguished
guest, but who will Justify tha pay
ment that Mr. Knox may do Taft poll
tics In California?"
Predictions of the result tomorrow
at the polls varied as widely as ever.
Colonel Charles Mifflin Hammond,
chairman of the Taft Republicans,
closed a summary of arguments al
ready made for his principal with the
following paragraph:
"Careful canvass of the state and my
sincere personal belief in the lntelli
pence and gratitude of the people lead
me to predict, without any doubt, that
President Taft will carry the state by
a very handsome majority."
Iloth Sides Optimistic.
Roosevelt's managers see a plurality
In the state of not less than 75.000 and
a majority of not less than 25,000 The
last specific Taft estimate was a plu
rality of 35,000.
The landscape wears a different face
to tha La Follette managers. Facing
certain defeat throughout the state,
they begin their estimates:
"The Roosevelt forces have stooped
to the very tricks that made the South
ern Pacific machine notorious."
Informally the La Follette manage
ment said: "No, we won't give figures.
What's the use? We expect a plurality,
but nobody will get a majority. Every
sensible man knows that."
Headquarters for Clark and Wilson,
Democratic candidates, offered no figures.

The guiding light in settling the con

sisting the balance will be found on
their side of the ledger in this respect.
"V hear too much talk about how

they will decide each case upon the

Kulcs Exemption Holds When
Property Is Sold.
WASHINGTON, May 13. Many .mil
lion dollars in taxes were lost today
by the State of Oklahoma through a
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States that the state cannot tax
land allotted to about 8000 Indians of
less than half blood.
The state claimed the right to tax
the lands under a law of May 27. 1!0.
which provided that the land of less
than half blood Indians in Oklahoma
should be free from restrictions as to
sale' and subject to taxation.
The court held that the terms of the
patents to the Indians w-re binding
on the Indian's claim, and so its terms,
one of which exempted the land from
taxation, should be binding on the Gov
ernment. The court also held the ex
emption went with the land when sold
and waa not personal to the Indian.
