President faffs statement .that he Is a pro uressive was disputed by Lolonei Hoosevelt in a speech here last night, The former president said Mr. Taft In some of his acts had shown him self to be u reactionary. In support of this contention Colonel Roosevelt went over the record of the present administration In certain particulars und criticised it sharply. The colonel's speech camo at the end of the first day of his week of camiialunlliK through West Virginia Kentucky. Illinois and Pennsylvania He broke his record Tor speeches for the present campaign, ' delivering 13 yesterday. All but two were given at railway stations from his car. Ev erywhere he found largo' crowds and a cordial reception. The speech hero was delivered In .in auditorium. "In his recent speech at Philade.l phia." Colonel Koosevelt said, "Presi dent Taft 'stilted that he'wtisva Pro. gressive and this raises the question as to what a progressive la. The colonel gave his definition of progressive on the basis on which he undertook an annlysis or me am tude of the administration toward number of questions, lie tookup th railroad rate bill, enforcement of th mire food law, the conservation ques. tion and other subjects which have ngneed the attention of the admin istration. Kour years ago, said Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Taft was supported by the pro gresslvea and opposed by "representa (Ives of special privilege. Speaking of the courts, the colonel asserted that when the president sup ported "those courta which . declare that the people have no power to do social Justice," that he shows himself a reactionary. Does Not Mean Intervention, but Preparedness N. C. Troops Would Go to Mobile Camp. THREE GREAT CAMPS AS CAMPAIGN BASES New York, April 4. William Hurtles, Jr., who has . been elected hair ma n of the new republican state committee, Immediately forced the onimittee to adopt a rule forbidding it to endorse cu.ndida.tes for any pub lic office. This meant thut Barnes was not going to tie himself or the epuhlicau national delegates to Pros Idcnt Taft. Samuel 8. Koenig, the New York county chairman, who has been fight ing for Taft delegates, was neatly urned down. As a sop, he was per mitted to enjoy the distinction of of fering the resolution against Indorse ments. flames aims to hold the New York delegation for Justice Hughes or some ether "durk horse" In the national convention. The New York delegates are unlnstructed. What was considered as an lndi red attack on Colonel Roosevelt was made by Chairman Barnes after he had been elected chairman. He I 'aid: Jt is entirely clear that the fun damental principles of the republican party are to be the principles upon which the committee's battle Is to be fought thia year. These are tho prin ciples which have made the republi can party what it Is and which have made It responsive to real public opin ion, and not to public opinion which Is apparent but not real." Members of the committee were In formed that Mr. Barnes had placed himself as chairman of the commit tee on resolutions at the state con vention in Rochester. The state chairman is said to be devoting his attention to a platform which he hopes. It Is said, will be reflected In the drafting of a platform at the Chicago republican convention. It will be distinctly standpat. After the meeting there was a prl vote luncheon at which the matters concerning the stato convention at Rochester next week, were discussed. Whether delegates to the national convention should be Instructed for President Taft was the principal topic. There was' a wide difference of opinion. Barnes, of course, op pores Instructions. Important Legislation as to the Militia Now Under Con sideration Air of Expectancy. THREE DIE IN WRECK SPRING NUMBER EDITION Tills Issue Will Come Out Monday April 8. There Is an air of expectancy among the local members of the N. C. N. G. with regard to the situation in Mexi co and the possible intervention of the United States. The officers of the company will not make public aay orders or Instructions which they may have received with reference to the situation, but it can easily be seen from their attitude that some such instructions have been received. .Hie of them frankly stated this morning thut he Is not at liberty to lisciiss this phase of the matter. As dated before, however, if appear ances are to be regarded the soldiers would not be surprised to be called out at any time; and no little interest Is felt concerning tho legislation that is now going on with reference to the drafting of troops. The local militia men have always felt that they could be culled out at any time for foreign jervlec, but It seems, according to a ruling of the attorney general, this "oiild not be done unless the militia wished to go Into a foreign country, and special legislation is being en acted so that 1(10,000 militiamen can lie drafted. Do Not Wish Organization Interfered) With. One of the officers paid ihls morn ing that the local troops are In favor of any legislation that would make them available for foreign service, but they lire not In favor of legisla tion that would Interfere with their organization; such as taking certain regiments from a brigade and placing them under the command of a regu lar army officer, thus eliminating the militia brigade commander. They have always looked on the mitltiii as an organization In Itself, and had always considered that they wera avalluble for foreign service. According to the reported plans of the war department, the North Caro lina' troops would go to Mobile, with Ihe troops from several other atates. The plans provide for three great camps; one at Mobile, one at San Antonio, and one at San Diego, and from these camps they would move Into Mexico.
