" Cnltd Prm Letwd WIre.1 Flillsdi-lphia. March 30. -- Without mentioning Colonel Roosevelt by name, Treslilent Taft, in three ot the most rig orous speeches tie. has delivered since it became evident he would have to tight for renominatlon, carried tbe war directly to the policies now advocated by his predecessor and rival for the Chicago nomination. ' : -v :' Throughout his speeches tonight the president Culled Tor 'safety and sanity in public affairs and sounded what is . likely to prove the keynote of-his cam paign. He vigorously assailed what he termed 'faddism" and "running amuck," and deplored indorsement of what lie said were "frills and .untried fancies" of his political opponents. The president was wildly cheered when he made It plain that he would liave interfered to nettle the coal, strike '"if possible and' had It been necessary," but Insisted that there was every rea son to believe that there will be a peace ful solution of th,e questions in dispute. "I am delighted to note," he srifa, "chancea for a solution of the soft coal difficulties In the west, and there Is some reason to hope that the hard coal strike in the east is nearlng solution;" The president - also declared that he hoped that in any agreement reached between the operators and the miners the rights of the publlo at large will be respected. ,' ' Taking tip the question of good times, the president said that Conditions were ... seemingly clearing up, and there was no reason to fear for Ue future." Takes Blap at Xoosevelt. - President Taft took what was appar ently regarded by bis audience as a slap at his chief political opponent ' "While I do not deprecate movement for real reform; and progress, he said, "provided it is not effected by fads and destruction of things that have proved successful for more than a hun dred years, there is no duty so heavy as that of seeing to it that reforms Interfere as little as possible with the business of the country and assist in the inspiration of business confidence. I mean the confidence of those who have : accumulated capital and whose invest ments are affected by security of gov ernment and sanity In, its government" , "I am not in favor of specious pros perity. X believe law and business can be squared so that there may be ab sence Of persecution and no disposition to run amuck just, to show the people that wj have aJob in Washington. I believe there is great room In the de partment of commerce and labor for aid to the great corporations and great busi- nesa 1 interests of the country. . How ever, we may overdo matters by going too rapidly. v , .,. , .-; "Progress step by step Is much safer, although less spectacular, than the oth er way, and it insures that It is really progress... o "I believe there la great room, for supervision and regulation of great cor porations through the department - of commerce and labor, and regulation of rt corporations and enterprises which shall --involve and preserve their legality on i , ,-tfie one hand and on the other afford them protection and security which they do not now have. That will require twnslderable legislation to be worked out carefully and slowly and not with a rough adze or some tools that are not .adapted for the purpose. coAlfii INTERESTS TO BE WEJulNlB "Get Together" Program to Be Formulated at San Francisco by Representa tives of Various Cities.

Roosevelt in 27th Speech Made in Four Days Takes Vigorolis Whack at Taft Theory of Government. (I'nllM Prwt tewed Wire.) . Detroit, Mich., March 0. Holding up to scorn the report of the Lorlmer in vestigating committee. Colonel Boose velt tonight, addressed 6000 persons in the Light Ouard armory. He denounced as "thoroughly mischievous and im proper" the administration railroad bill, as originally drafted for enactment by tne last congress. The majority of the audience was in sympathy with the speaker and, his re marks were vigorously applanded. Tonight's address was the twenty seventh Roosevelt has made within four days and tua last of his present triD. His speeches were made In eight dif ferent states and It is estimated that more than 75,000 people heard him, Jackson, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor and other southern Michigan cities paid .him the most enthusiastto welcome pf the trip. He passed through these towns this afternoon en route from Chicago. . In his speech tonight Roosevelt Cited the Lorlmer case as an instance of the working in actual practice of the presi dent s tneory or "government of the people, by what he calls a 'representa tive part of the people," Roosevelt said the reactionary members of the committee nave stood by Lorlmer, and, against tne protest or the minority, rec ommended that he continue in. his place. "1M you think that the majority of this ' committee really represents the people! I don't Do you think this specimen of government of the people Dy a representative part of the people. so-called, represents an improvement on government by the people T 1 don't" The colonel then pointed out that Sen- ators Dillingham of Vermont Gamble of South Dakota and Jones of Wash ington signed the report but be did not believe "for one moment" that the people of the states they represented would have voted for Lorlmer. He de clared that the Lorlmer case was a strong argument for the direct election of , senators. "We have heard a great deal, of talk recently," he said, "by our opponents, headed by the president himself, against Impulsive Judgment of the peoplo. I would rather trust the impul sive Judgment of the people in a case like the Lorlmer case, than the' excessively deliberate Judgment of the so-called representative part of the peo ple, which has been going on for the last two years." ' ; ' i The colonel then referred to the al leged consistency of the administration In having its federal machine move up the dates of the southern conventions "in order to secure an exceedingly im pulsive Judgment long in advance of the action of the states where there Is a real Republican party."
