"From this Inference is drawn that tthe Harrisburg address is likely to lound the counter defiance of the man fwhom Mr. Taft designates by name as j&ead of the Insurgent movement. "That the President is determined to renew his 'fight upon the insurgents and to carry It right down to the doors of the National Convention hall is re garded aa certain In view of his speech : at Hamilton. It comes as a surprise to many progressives, because the tone, manner and temper 6f the tariff vetoes, handed down in the last days of the congress session, were regarded by them as Indicative of willingness to extend the olive branch. "He cannot escape denouncing Lafollette In Wisconsin, Cummins in Iowa, Brlstow in Kansas, Bourne in Oreicon, Polndexter in Washington, Clapp In Minnesota. : "In doing this he will put an end to all . thought of accommodation and reconciliation. The effect of such a contest wll be chiefly important, not for its Influence in the preconvention campaign,, but for its weight in the election struggle, in which the Insurgent .

( -"Mr. Taft has reverted to his policy lof 1910 when he withdrew the countenance of the Administration from those Republicans who had been hostile to htm during the Payne -Aldrich revision. All the influence of the na tional organisation and patronage power were used to defeat these men for h renomlnation. Cannon was , sent to Kansas and Sherman to Wisconsin to cry down Insurgency. They met such wmall success that this time the Presi dent will himself assume the mission and invade the enemy's country to sound the battle cry against all In surgency." I1 John Callan O'Laughlin. of the Chicago Tribune, says in a dispatch to that paper today: ;' President Taft has accepted the gage of battle flaunted before him by the progressive Republicans and In his fight for renomination and re-election will class them and the Democrats aa this common enemy. It this interpretation placed by poliftlcians here upon the speech he delivered yesterday at Hamilton, Mass., jle correct, he will on his coming westtern trip not only defend himself but ) sharply assail the progressives in their Jown communities. That is to say, he will denounce Lafollette In Wisconsin, Clapp in Minnesota, Oronna in North Dakota, Crawford in South Dakota, Cummins and jKenyon in Iowa, Brlstow in Kansas, ;Borah In Idaho, Polndexter in WashIlngton.

cism of their action, justifies them now, they assert, in defending themselves; and they propose to go after the President hammer and tongs. Indeed, they would have done ' so even had the President continued to observe the conciliatory spirit he displayed during the extra session. But now they feel they have the strategic advantage, and they will carry out with greater zest and hopefulness the program they had agreed upon before leaving Washington. They now assert that by the President's own words the issue has been defined before the people: Shall progressive Republicanism live and conquer? BAR ASSOCIATION TO MEET TUESDAY Legal Lights from All Over the Country to Attend Boston Convention. (National News Association) BOSTON, Aug. 28. Legal lights from every section of the country are gathered here to attend the thirtyfourth annual convention of the American ' Bar association which opens at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology tomorrow. Exceptional Interest is attached to the reports of the standing committees. The most interesting of these is the report of the special committee to sug gest remedies and formulate proposed laws to prevent delay and unnecessary cost in litigation to be delivered Wednesday morning. This committee has embraced its activities under three heads: Trial practice, practice in appeal and equity procedure. For Judicial Reform. At the last meeting of the American Bar association this committee was directed to draw up a bill embracing the proposed judicial reforms. The bill was introduced in Congress where it .was referred to the Committee on Judiciary. The discussion of the bill attracted widespread attention. It passed the house but died in the senate committee. It is to revise these measures so that they will present themselves to the conservative legislature in a stronger and more plausible light that this committee will again ask the consideration of the delegates. The report of this committee is looked forward to with universal interest, for so favorable was the opinion expressed by the individual members of the United States senate that it is believed that the bill would have passed had it been reported out of the senate committee. By cheapening and expediting the process of the law these bills,' if passed, will save litigants millions of dollars annually. Scarcely of less importance to the millions who yearly have recourse to civil proceedings are the other committee reports scheduled to follow the opening addresses 'of President Edgar H. Farrar, tomorrow morning. These embody the reports of standing committees and discussion - of reports of the committees on Jurisprudence and Law Reform;' Judicial Administration and Remedial Procedure; Legal Education and Admissions to ' the , Bar; Commercial Law ; International Law; Grievances; Obituaries; Law Reporting and Digesting; Patent; , TradeMark and Copyright Law; Insurance Law; Uniform State Law; Taxation and Comparative Law Bureau. On Wednesday morning, following the Tuesday night reports of the above mentioned committees, a paper will be read by Justice Henry B. Brown, of the United States supreme court, retired, on "The Federal Judicial Code- (Act March 3. 1911.) The presentation. of this paper will be followed by the reports of special committees and discussion, thereof on: The Prevention of Delay and Unnecessary Litigation; Compensation for Industrial Accidents and Their Prevention; the Presentation to Congress of Bills Relating to Courts of Admiralty and Government Liens on Real Estate. .- ;; . .

PRESIDENTIAL VOTE A NATIONAL ISSUE Recall of Judges Now a Problem for American People to Decide.

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. That the President's veto of the Arizona and New Mexico statehood bill has made the recall of judges a national issue, to be fought out before the people of the entire country, during approaching campaigns is the emphatic opinion expressed by many members of congress. Members of the house committee on territories, the majority of whom believe that Arizona should be permitted to incorporate the recall in its constitution if she desires, believe that President Taft's action has done more to crystalize the issue of the initiative, referendum and recall than anything else. Members of the committee, at a meeting which was called to consider an attempt to override the President's veto, did some plain talking. Before the President's veto, it was pointed out the recall was more or less a state problem, to be fought out among the states themselves. Oregon now has the recall of the judiciary. The California legislature has voted to submit such an issue to the people, and then came along Arizona, which incorporated the recall in its constitution. The initiative and referendum is employed in several states. Have a New Weapon. President Taft has now made the recall a national issue instead of one to be decided by the states. The President declared that he would never approve the constitution of Arizona so long as it contained the provision. Such a course on the part of the President, it is said by members of congress, means that the progressives of the country have been furnished with another weapon with which to go be fore the .voters. The echo of the President's veto message will be heard in the next campaign, especially in the Western states where the initiative, referendum and recall is gaining ground among the progressive Republicans, as well as the Democrats. Regardless of what action may be taken by congress toward admitting the two new states, the national issue will be there just the same.

the President's veto is overridden, or whether congress backs down to a certain extent and yields to the dictate of the White House by requiring that the recall be eliminated from Arizona's constitution, it will have but little effect on a future agitation of this latest and growing movement. What Martin Says. Representative Martin, of Colorado, one of the Democratic members of the

I house committee on territories, sum med up tee situation tnus: "The President's veto of this state hood bill has made a national issue of the recall. I may as well be frank and say that the initiative, referendum and recall is gaining ground in this country, regardless of what congress does or does not approve about it. The will of two or three hundred lawyers i here in Washington is not going to shape the mind of the people. These doctrines are sure to take hold in this country, and as a result there will probably be a number of politacal funerals later." The statehood bill passed both the senate and the house by a large vote. In the house the majority was overwhelming in favor of admitting both of the territories to the Union. The house thought it had gone far enough jvhen it required that, Arizona should vote again on the recall of the judiciary. It was also required that New Mexico should consider a proposition to make its constitution . easier to amend. This left the matter up to the people. If Arizona still wanted the recall, congress was willing that she should have it. If New Mexico preferred its present constitution, congress was willing that she should have it, providing that a second election so registered the will of the people. The President, however, set his foot down on the recall, regardless of a second election. He let it be known he would never approve a statehood bill with such a provision as is in the Arizona constitution. The President gave the people of Arizona no alternative. They must either eliminate the recall or stay out of the Union. Temper of Majority. The temper of the majority of the two bodies of congress, especially the house, was not improved when the veto message was presented. There was Immediate talk of overriding the veto. The house thought It had the votes and the senate stood "very close." Then was suggested a possible compromise so that the states might no longer be kept out. The house committee agreed to talk of compromise with the understanding that no matter what the result might be, it should not be construed as an admission on the part of the house that it was wrong and the President right.. ' , "The position of the house," Bald one member of the committee, "is that the people of Arizona and not the President have the privilege of framing a constitution. The veto of the Presi dent means that he is dictating the constitution of a sovereign state. Even if congress yields to the President's demands, it will not be an admission that we think he is right about this matter, , but our action will be based on the desire to let in these territories without further wrangling." Lawyers in the house point out that the President admits that Arizona may slap the recall back into its constitution, as soon as it is admitted to the union. Oregon has the recall and she is in the Union. Arizona would have similar rights and, if forced to tempor arily omit the recall, could later amend the constitution so as to include it. This fact led some constitutional lawyers of the house and senate to think that the President's veto is a rather useless document, if Arizona is really determined to have her own way.

The President had no objection to

the New Mexico constitution, but since the two territories have been linked together In their long , fight for statehood. New Mexico must wait also until the recall- muddle is Bettled. There is no doubt that the President has made the recall a national issue, and his veto will be heard from in the approaching national campaign. Palladium Want Ads Pay.
