May- 4. In-the -closing speech of a 14-hour campaign trip xnrougn Maryland, Taft here today added a new chapter to the his tory or the harvester trust. Speaking to an audience that-filled -the Lyric 1 theater, Mr, Taft that Col. Theo'dore, Roosevelt did prevent jthe prosecution of that trust after George -one-of its -directors -and now a Roosevelt supporter, had asked mat the trust be not taken into court Mr. Taft said his predecessor's atti tude toward the trusts showed clearly that he wisheM to perfect a "benevolent despotism that would discriminate be tween the good and the bad 'trusts He also said Mr.

Roosevelt had changed irom nia attitude regarding his en trance into the political race to that of being an active campaigner for the nomination and insisted that Air. Roosevelt was striving to make this campaign one in which the man who had little shouRl be arrayed against turn who had more.

war. -That tiaar In nearly all of his previous speeches the: president brought in the nameof Colonel Roosevelt and asked again for a "square deal." 1 The president's Baltimore speech was made just before he left for Washing ton. In it he said in. nart: "The truth about the harvester trust is that Mr. Bonaparte thought it ought to be prosecuted.

George W. Perkins, who was a director in the harvester trust, then a director in the steel trust ami also a member of the firm of Mor ran came over to Washington and pleaded with Herbert Knox Smith of the bureau of corporations not to briner the suit and induced Mr. smitn to make a report to' Mr. Roosevelt which set forth that the steel trust and the harvester trust the other Mor (ran interests had attempted to carry iout Mrr Roosevelt's itiea of publicity and therefore they ought not to be sub jected to prosecution -under the anti rust even though they were technically guilty, threatening that if were prosecuted they would fight the administration, wouia give mem no mor access to their books and would conduct themselves in opposition to the administration. No Prosecntlou.

Bron'slit "The result was that Mr. Smith made a report on the 21st of September to Mr. Roosevelt in which fie detailed this conversation and recommended that no suit be brought, until he had made a full investigation of the harvester trust. Before this a report was made by the assistant district attorney of North Dakota and by the district attorney of Minnesota, that there was ground for prosecuting the harvester trust; that this trust had violated the gherman law. Between Sept.

1 and Nov. 1 the matter was under consideration and on the 7th of November, the president directed Mr. Herbert Knox Smith to notify Mr. Perkins that no prosecution would be begun until after the investigation. That s'et -tied the matter, because that is what Mr.

Perkins asked for. "These are circumstances tending to Illustrate what Mr. Roosevelt means fey good and bad trusts. He means to introduce a benevolent despotism ir. iwhioh he means to select the trusts which he thinks ought to continue and smash those he thinks ought not to continue.

"I am not attacking Mr. Roosevelt by inferring improper motives in his attitude toward the trusts. I am only pointing out that, in view of attitude toward the trusts his having Tavored trusts that he thinks are good trusts and ought to be encouraged. tike one, a director of which aids him his campaign and contributes largely to his funds he is in a very weak position to charge me with being under the control of the interests and being the candidate of special privilege, and feein supported by all who are against tlie people. Assumption of Virtues.

"Mr. Roosevelt's assumption of virtues is so intense that it is sufficient to purify any one when he becomes a supporter of Mr. Roosevelt, even though it be a trust and even though it be a director of a trust contributing to his campaign. "In other words, when the facts are ehown with reference to his willingness to prosecute certain trusts and with reference to contributions from a directing official of such trusts, It hardly lies in his mouth, as a matter of the square deal, to charge me with being supported by special Interests and- privilege when the record of my ad 1 lustration shows a prosecution of allvsSists without regard to their directors and without regard to the influence that control them. "The prosecutions of this administration are based solely on the violations the statute."
