- (By the International Kewi Servlr..)
Boston, Aug. 17. In a bristling In
vasion of Massachusetts, Colonel Roose
velt today Indicated that he regards
President Taft as out of the running In
the presidential race. During a speech
before 7600 howling Progressives at
Revere Beach, where the, eTpr8ldent
attacked Governor Wilson for hla criti
cism of tha third party platform, the
colonel was asked by one of tha crowd:
"How about President Taftr
Roosevelt looked Quizzically at hla In
terrogator and In a highly pitched voice
chirped:
"I never discuss dead Issues."
The crowd let out a whoop of approv
al while Roosevelt stood grinning.
Throughout his speech ha did not men
tion President Taft once. Most of the
speech was devoted to a reply to Wil
son's assertion, In his talk before the
New Jersey farmers this week? that he
could not understand the progressive
platform. V
Says natform Is Simple.
Roosevelt pitched Into Wilson, cynic
ally . remarking that the governor had
confessed that he had not read his own
party platform. "He doesn't need to
read tne uemocratic piatrorm, ' ex
claimed the colonel. "It won't be adopt
ed anyhow, The people won't take It
and let' me say that If any man cannot
understand the progressiva party's plat
form, let him call in the first boy he
sees, from an elementary school. Tha
boy will tell him."
Roosevelt wound nn his flsy In Mas
sachusetts with a speech on the Boston
Common tonight before --an Immenso
throng, assailing as he did in Provi
dence last night the boss domination In
politics.
Tha ex-president came to Massachu

early In the day. As the -car whirled
through tha Massachusetts towns on the

declared In his Revere Beach speech, to
be the only method by which the people
could choose their own candidates with
out regard tojthe bosses.
Replying to Governor Wilson's criti
cism of the length of the Progressive
platform, the colonel said:
"As a matter of fact. It Is of almost
the exact length of his own platform.
The difference is that our platform
states explicitly and definitely what we
Intend to do on the vital questions of
th day, and that it Is entirely sincere
and entirely practical, whereas Mr. Wil
son's platform avoids the most impor

regards the other issues make such Im

that there was a sincere purpose to have
