IN FAVOUR OF TAFT.

NEW YORK STATE CONVENTION IF MR. ROOSEVELT WINS. SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL JUSTICE.

By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received Aprit 12, 8.25 a.m.) NEW YORK, 11th April. The New York State Republican Convention declared strongly in favour of Mr. Taft. Mr. Roosevelt declares that if he wins the fight for the Presidency, his success will be turned to the advancement of social and industrial justice. The Law Courts are now kept in the grasp of privilege, and politicians and supporters of (the present judicial system spoke as if the Judges were imposed on the people by heaven, and were responsible only to heaven. [The New York Post recently remarked : — "Mr. Taft'e friends, going over Ala*. Roosevelt's Columbus speech, say that the chief and vital difference between the governmental ' creeds of Roosevelt and Taft is that on the recall of judges and decisions. The word from men who have daily conferences | with the President, to the> effect that he will decline the nomination if the recall of decisions is made a plank in the platform, shows how strongly he feels on what is regarded as the main matter of difference between him and hia predecessor. ..." One of Mr. Taft'6 friends says : — "President Taft, in 'expecting unpleasant personal experiences, thinks that the Colonel may bring into the campaign such things as the Pinchot, Garfield, and Ballinger incidents, and that .insinuations of ingratitude on his part will be made. Tf such is tho case, there will be no xtspouse, either personally from the President, or by his authority. He will not follow such a line of campaign, either offensive or defensive in its nature, because his opponent, or his opponent's friends, seek to force him to it by trying to prejudice the country against him, by bringing up matters of the past into which personalities were injected."]
