"The president and I have done ail we could to make this administration a success. The president is heartily in favor of a radical conservation, and sc am I. There are a lot of demagogues who would like to see a breach forced between Theodore Roosevelt and President Pres-ident Taft. It's just the way of things. But President Taft has been wise. He has taken a broad and liberal stand for constructive and upbuilding policies." |
