BOSTON. AprU a Following cleat on
the trail that Colonel Roosevelt used on
Saturday. Taft today swept on hla speech-
maklng tour through eastern Massachu
setts, declaring his administration has
been progressive, that he had favored
legislation that demonstrated hla progres
slvenesa, and that he wis as much In fa
vor of government by, of and for the peo
ple, as any man. AH the cities where Mr.
Taft spoke are manufacturing centers
and ha dwelt largely on the legislation In
favor of labor, which ha said hla admini
stration had helped to enact or which It
tavored. .
"Go to It, Bill.' was an expression that
often came from the crowds, and it
brought a smile always.
"Tea. yea," was the cry at many places
when Mr. Taft declared he waa a believer
in popular government, but was not
afraid to tell the people that they some
times make mistakes. .
First Mentis of RsaasTrlt.
At If trfdlehnra where he anoke from his
train, the president brought In-Jtoose-
vrtfs name for the first time today. He
aaid in fart:
"I came here reluctantly, but I came
from a strong sense of duty. It does not
make any real difference to me whether
1 am re-elected president or not, so far
aa any comfort and happlneaa and repu
tation are concerned. I fancy after hat-
Ing had three years' experience In the
' presidency that I could find a softer and
easier place than that and I am willing to
truat to the future for a vindication of
my name from the aspersions on it that
political exigencies have required from
others.,
"It Is said that all the bosses are sup
porting me. I deny It. Mr. Roosevelt
and I are exactly alike In certain re
' spects. There Is a good deal of human
nature In both of us, and when we are
running for office we don't examine the
clothes or the hair or the previous condi
tion -of anybody that .tenders hi support
true a statement -that all the -booses are
" supporting ane, but are opposed to him,
la to give a new definition of bosses, and
that la: That every man In politic that
la against him 1 a boss and every man
that I fbr him is a leader;" ; -
: Taft kweaha ht Attlebsrs. - -Preside
Taft delivered an address from
a platform erected back of the railroad
tation at Attleboro. The president mad
no reierenoa to colonel uooaeveit- ti
declared that the three years of the pres
ent! administration bad been -progressive
year and ho defied any on to show a
record of more beneficial legislation ac
complished in the am length of time,
Mr. Taft referred to the. Payne tariff
law. v - .
"On thing the Fayn bill didn't do."
t aald the president, "It didn't Injur any
Induatrlea In Attleboro. For the reason
that the admlnlstfatJon haa done .well by
you. you ought to do well by It."
"We'll give It to. you Bill," yelled some
one In the crowd that was cheering the
president s Invitation for aupport.
In conclusion the president aald hla ad
ministration haa been responsible tor
much legialatloa to protect the laboring
man. .
During the second speech of the day
delivered frem the balcony of a hotel at
Taunton, the president continued his ap
peal for the support of the laboring
people and made bis first attack of the
day upon Colonel Roosevelt- He aald that
Colonel Roosevelt bad misrepresented
and misstated hi (the president's) speech
In reference to the ability of the people
to govern themselves. "I am in favor of
government by and for the people," con
tinued the president and the crowd yelled
It approval.
"1 am naturally Interested In the present
presideat of the United States," continued
the president, "but I have also a con
siderable Interest In the next president
and I am her to suggest that It might
be well to make them one. When you
get a servant that has don reasonably
well do you think It wise to change Just
for the purpose of a change. Do you
have to take on whose chief claim to
