.TAFT SWITCHES y LECTURE TOPIC League af Nations Address Out Attack on i % Wilson. 'Special to The Time#. BLOOMINGTON, Iml., Oct. 21.—William Howard Taft, former President of the United States, disappointed a great non-partisan audience gathered in the men's gjmqasium of Indiana University last-njght when he devoted practically all of his t wholesale denunciation of the administration. 'The former President had been advertised to speak bn the League of Nations. ‘‘The issue Involved in the campaign," said Mr. Taft, “is the approval or"the disapproval of Woodrow Wilson." The exercise the President of his constitutional war-time powers without consultation of Congress was severely criticised by Mr. Taft. t The Cabinet was attacked, as being weak and inefficient and lacking the independence to act on their own responsibility. Mr. Taft condemned what he termed the ■“exasperating delays” of the war, due Ito alleged lack of power of adffinistrative fcppointees. liberty loan bond issues were debecause of -he present slump of bonds on the market. my judgment the Escb-Cnmmins Brill is of the greatest constructive ■neasures on the statutes,” said Mr. Taft, Bn defense of the railroad bill, “and it Vwaa placed there by Republican statesImen.” I The "Democratic candidate was characIterized as purely a politician, but the speaker granted' his good record as Governor <sf Ohio. \ I In his remarks, Mr. Taft apBproachcul the League of Nations, which. Ihe deeltrod, had no place in the cam- . ■paign. B "I was in favor of the league with article 10 and I anj noV.” said the former applause that lasted nearly two minutes, “but,” he added, %fter that his audlenee began to noticeably diminish. “I want it to be ft real lehgne and not an academic ideal.” *■ ■Prohibition Downed I by British Columbia 8 B.

M’CULLOCH RAPS HIGHWAY CLAN Charges State Road Machine, • Fights Democrats. * / Special to The Ti-neu NASHVILLE, Ind., Oct. 21.—1n an address here this afternoon, D;\ Qarleton B. McCulloch, Democratic A (,inlnee for Governor charged that a political machine organized by the State .Highwsj Commission is fighting the "ticket because it has shown that the commission is extravagant. “Citizens are naturally indignant on finding that only $55.90 out of every SIOO expended by this commission up to date has gone Into actual road construction,” said the candidate. ' “The counties, moreover, are pointing out that when they had their own automobile license fees to keep up their road repairs, the roads were ke>pt in much better shape than at present. DH. M’CULLOCH HAS FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE. • “Having campaigned this State in an automobile, X am iu a position to speak feelingly, and front first-hand knowledge j on the subject. “I know tbc people good roads and roads carefully maintained, but 1 know, too, are very resentful over the way their money has been wasted id excess construction cost. * “When Marlon County can bgllil wider and better roads ah a cost of $6,000 less i per mile than the State Itighfway Commis- j sidn, it is time to reform. “Let us have anew deal in this par- j tiftilar. V J “Let us jntt men on that commission j who are pledged to an honest, conscien- j tious and economical construction of our { highways. MUST GET MOST OUT OF EVEH.V DOLLAR. ✓ “Traffie by truck is becoming so universal and the wear and tear on the roads is such an important item that It becomes a solemn duty to get the most out of every dollar we spend in order that we may not be bankrupted by high taxes for these purposes. “Let us all work together for the betterment of-our roads^ “The prosperity i*r cities and counties alike is closely interwoven with facilities for transportation. “When our railroads are tied up by strikes or coal shortages, good roads are our salvation.”
