ROOSEVELT FIRES TAFT BROADSIDE

Columbus. - Ohio. Feb. 21. Former President Roosevelt, i n a.n address yesterday before the Ohio constitutional convention, defined views which probably will form the basis of his platform in case lie is nominated for the. Presidency. His address, entitled "A Charter of Democracy," contained a broadside a grains t President Taft, commendation of Senator LaFollette and Indorsemet of practically every progressive measure ,. advanced the last few years. He declared with emphasis:

"I believe In providing for direct nominations by the people, including; therein direct preferential primaries for the election of delegates to the national nominating' conventions. "I believe in the election of United States Senators by direct vote. - "I believe in the initiative and the referendum, which should be used not to destroy reyrpsentatlve government, but to correct it whenever it becomes misrepresent ative. derail l.ant Rrrt. I do not believe in adopting- the recpH save as a lawt resort, when it has become clearly evident that no other course wi'l achieve the desired result. "There should be a fixed governmental policy, a policy which shaU clearly deflne and punish wrontrdoinjr and shall (rive In advance full information to any man as to just what he can and just what ho cannot legally and properly do. It is absurd and wicked to treat the deliberate lawbreaker as on the exact par with the man eager to obey the law.

"All business into which the element of monopoly in any way or1, degree enters, and where Jt proves 'in practice impossible totally to eliminate this element of monopoly, should be car-i-fuHy supervised, regulated and controjled by governmental authority, and such control should be exercised by administrative rather than by judicial

officers. "Where regulation by competition proves insufficient we should not shrink from bringing1 governmental regulation, to the point of control of monopoly prices If It should ever become necessary to do so, just as In exceptional cases railway rates are now regulated." In speaking for the recall of fudges. Colonel Roosevelt rapped President Taft's recent utterance to the effect that the people were incompetent to decide when a Judge should be recalled, and therefore should not have the ""power.

" Our aim," the Colonel said, -"Ms to get the right type of judge, to keep him on the bench as long as possible, and to keep off the bench, and, if necessary, take off the bench tlie wrong type of judge. "Many eminent lawyers who more or les frankly disbelieve in our American system of government for, by and of the people, violently antagonize this proposal. They believe and sometimes assert, that the American people are not fitted for popular government, and that it Is necessary to keep the Judiciary 'independent of the majority or of all the people" (quoting President Taft); that there must be no appeal to the people from the decisiorcjof a court

in any case; and that therefore the

judges are to be established as sover cign rulers over the people.

"I take absolute issue with all thoso

who hold such a position. I regard it

as a complete negation of our whole

system of government; and if It be

came the dominant position in thl-i

country, it would mean tht absolute

upsetting of both the rights and the

rule of the people. The only tenable

excuse for such a position is the frank avowal that the people lack sufficient

intelligence and morality , to be fit to

govern themselves."

to remain, as there was no way of get

ting them to the Harbor, the street

cars being stalled. In Kast Chicago no

attempt was made at delivery.

' Slany housewives found themselves when the supper hour arrived without the wherewithal to feed their families, the groceries and markets having failed to make their usual afternoon delivery. Milkmen also found It impossible to make their rounds and quit after taking care of the restaurants and hotels. S. T. Johnson of Kast Chicago said that he had been delivering milk for thirteen years and that yesterday was th first day in all that time that he was obliged to quit. Horses attached to the delivery wragons would stop in the mlddl of the road, apparently bewildered, as well as exhausted, and the men who drove them were covered from head to foot with a fine coating of snow, which made them look as though they were clothed in ermine. Everything that was loose was Mown about, it being ho uncommon spectacle, to see garbage cans sailing down the streets, as well as pails, coal buckets and trash of all descriptions. Pedestrians who had the' temerity to venture out were buffeted about, and good fortune was all that saved many from serious accident while crossing streets and railway crossings. The police stations in both tew ns were crowded with the flotsam and

jetsam of humanity who happened to be in town, seeking a nights lodging, about1, twenty-five being accommodated at each station. A wagon at the corner of Forsyth avenue and 148th street, was lifted

youngsters in the care of the officers direct from the school house. The boy scout about forty in each town, did yeoman service along this line. C. C

teacher, took command at the McKinley J outside a house in Olcott avenue, was

buildi ng. The smaller children were warned when dismissed in the morning not to return as the storm waxed stronger and more ominous as the dav passed

on. but some of the children either, failed to tell their parents of the order.! or the parents thought the children had misunderstood, and sent them anyhow. Fortunately school was not dismissed for the day. Had it been and had the little children arrived to find the school

houses deserted, there might have been serious consequences. As It was there were plenty on hand to take care of such young children as did arrive, and from 2 o'clock on the big boys were kept busy taking the children home In relays, after their teachers had sorted the mout according to the localities in which they lived. The boy scouts were untiring, as

were the police themselves, and last night Burt, the police horse, was almost out of commission from exhaustion taking children to their homes. But the school children were not the only ones that had their troubles.

Milkmen, grocery delivery boys, etc., found themselves strictly up against it. There was no effort made in Indiana Harbor to circulate the newspapers in the afternoon. The Chicago newspapers such as arrived were all so late that it was useless to try to distribute them had the weather made it feasible to try, and The Timks got as far as

litterally blown, for half a block tha

horse bracing all the way with his four feet. The drifts finally held the rig

fast and the driver came puffing and

stamping through the snow to reclaim

It.

Through it all the Hammond. Whiting and Kast Chicago street cars ran intermittently, several snow plows be

ing kept .at work clearing the tracks,

else this line would have been forced

to suspend. There were few however

who took advantage of the accommo

dation of even this Interrupted service, scarcely any one venturing out unless

obliged to do so. ,

Householders who. were out of coal

found themselves In a sorry plight as it was impossible to deliver coal yesterday, but fortunately most of the

citiiens had been more provident than

to allow their coal piles totget so low as to be unable to wait through the

day.

WILL TOM DESERT GOV. JvIARSIIALL? TIMES Bl'RE.t I", AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis. Ind., Feb. 21. Since Thomas Taggart made a speech at the Seventh district Democratic congressional convention, in this city last Saturday, many Demorats are wondering if Taggart is making arrangements to desert Governor Marshall as a candidate for the nomination for President. Taggart was the permanent chairman of the convention and he made a speech when he took the chair. And

in his speech he never said a word about Marshall. He did not even mention his name. Congressman Charle3 A. Korbly, who was renominated, made a speech accepting the renomlTiation, and he too failed to mention the name of the Governor. The resolutions adopted, however, said that the Democracy of Indiana was marching to Baltimore to present tahe name of Governor Marshall as a candidate for the Presidency. This was the only mentlon of his name in the entire proceedings. There has all along been a suspicion t,hat Taggart's support of Marshall has had a string attached to it. and that at the proper time Taggart would side step and break . a waf- from Marshall. There is a suspicion that he may yet
