[[?]] Mochistlan and Quechul[[?]] were almost destroyed [[?]] [[End of Column 1]] [[Start of Column 2]] [[?]] at 1:30 o'clock. The party included President Taft and aid, Major Rhoades; Mr. Sherman's immediate predecessor in the Vice Presidential office, C. W. Fairbanks; Postmaster General Hitchcock, Justices Hughes and Pitney of the United States Supreme court, Senor Juan Riano, the Spanish Minister; United States Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania, Bacon of Georgia, O'Gorman of New York and Works of California; Representatives Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Calder of New York and Jones of Virginia. The party also included Chairman Hilles of the Republican national committee and ex-Governor Francis of Missouri. The party was met at the railroad station by a reception committee of twenty and escorted to a hotel in automobiles. Among the earlier arrivals were Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Senators Root, Crane, Curtis, Oliver and Lippett, Representative George W. Fairchild and Mayor H. H. Edgerton of Rochester. PRESIDENT IS GUARDED. Careful preparations for guarding President Taft during his stay in Utica were made by the secret service force. Immediately after the arrival of the special train the President was taken to the Sherman home to pay his respects to Mrs. Sherman. In the carriage with him were C. W. Fairbanks, Major Rhoades and Major W. S. Doolittle of this city, a Yale classmate of the President. Associate Justice Hughes held a long conference with the President after the special left New York, and later the Senators and Representatives in the party paid their respects. There were no members of the national committee on the trip up, and neither the President nor Mr. Hilles took up the question of a possible successor to Mr. Sherman except in a formal way. The services at the First Presbyterian church began shortly after 2 o'clock and every available seat had been taken when the President and party arrived, except those which had been reserved. The services were conducted by Dr. M. W. Stryker, president of Hamilton college, who spoke briefly. He said in part: "In solemn and united mour[[n]]ing, but with (Continued on Page 4, Column 2.)

It is proper to say [[to?]] the reader at the outset that this [[chap?]]ter is written without any political or partisan motive or purpose what[[so?]]ever. The only effort has been to arrive at the truth and to tell it impart[[ially]], without bias in a way wholly fair and just to all concerned. STORY IS FRANKLY TOLD: Though the story [[?]] given with much frankness, as is necessary in adequate treatment of such an episode and with brief and reluctant illusions to what may be called mere domestic or social incidents, it is agreeable to note that certain extravagant, and somewhat sinister theories, upon which one or the other of the princip[[als]]has been severely criticised by the partisans of the other, are either wholly dispelled or greatly softened by the actual facts. On one side we have had fierce criticism of Colonel Roosevelt for what has been called his "disloyalty" to the President, his "treachery." According to this view Mr. Roosevelt, having chosen Mr. Taft to be his successor, having nominated and assisted in electing him, having vouched for him to the party and the country, had assumed a responsibility in which it was his duty as a party leader and as a gentleman to stand by his handiwork. The charge is made that Colonel Roosevelt was piqued because he found he could not dominate his successor, and that he determined to ruin [[?]] he could not rule; that he seized upon trivial causes of offense and magnified them into mountains to back [[up?]] his secret motive, which was a desire for revenge coupled with his own mad [[lust?]] for power. BLAME ON TAFT On the other side, the adherents of Colonel Roosevelt have retorted that President Taft [[?]] the one guilty of disloyalty and [[trea?]]chery; that he pledged himself [[?arry]] out the Roosevelt policies and [[?ed]] to do so: that he broke promises [[a to ?]] Cabinet and other appointments; that he deliberately bit the hand that had fed him; that from the moment of his election he began to plot [[to?]] rid himself of men in the government who had been closely identified with his predecessor, and that his ingratitude to his political creator was carried beyond the pale. That the causes of estrangement may appear in their proper perspective it is necessary to recall the historic fact - the one important point upon which both sides agree - that Mr. Roosevelt did name Mr. Taft as his successor; that if the Colonel had not used his power as party leader, and as President together with his great political [[skill?]] and his well-known popularity and prestige in his protege's behalf probably another would have been chosen. It is not contended by anyone that Mr. Taft could have reached the [[?]] if then President [[end of column 3] [[start of column 4]] [[missing sentences]] ...because it is of the story, something which [[?]] be borne in mind in weighing the facts given hereinafter. Roosevelt's direct responsibility for Taft, and Taft's obligations of gratitude to Roosevelt, and the constraints and attitudes of mind which thus devolved upon each of them in their mutual relations, form the psychological base of the personal and political tragedy which ensued. The reader should also remember the larger purpose Mr. Roosevelt had in view in thus using his power to name his successor, for this, too, is a part of the story. His purpose was to assure a continuance of what was known as "the Roosevelt policies." Mr. Roosevelt felt that he had led a sort of reformation within the party; that the forward movement begun by him must be kept going, and he believed implicitly that Mr. Taft was the man above all others who could be depended upon to do this. It is no secret among his friends that when Mr. Roosevelt renounced a third consecutive term - which he could have had without any doubt - his eyes were set upon the future. He voluntarily left the Presidency, but he had every intention to return to it, and a belief that his return would be at no distant day. Hence it was his perfectly natural wish to have as successor one who in a broad sense would be loyal to himself, his policies, his fame and perhaps his future. It was only human nature that he should expect the man picked and placed by him - and that man one of his most intimate and affectionate friends - to be in some sort of fashion his representative; at the least his near and cordial and sincere friend after the choice as before it. EXPECTED TO BOSS TAFT. The former President's attitude of mind in this particular relation was clearly expressed by his reply to the question of a friend: "Why did you select Taft to be your successor?" "Because it had to be either Taft or Hughes. If I had kept hands off the campaign Hughes would have been nominated and elected. And if I had permitted Hughes to get into the White House I shouldn't have had a friend about the place. There's no telling what Hughes would have done. He might have changed the Panama canal to a sea level ditch, so that it should not be known in history as the Roosevelt canal." It is not to be inferred that Mr. Roosevelt feared this particular thing. This was merely his way of illustrating what had been in his mind - his desire to place in the White House a trusty, loyal, dependable friend rather than take chances with another who might be indifferent, uncertain, possibly hostile. The following is a composite statement of the Roosevelt account of the causes of the trouble, a part coming di- [[end of column 4]]

The edges of the newspaper are tattered so some words are missing - have transcribed as best as possible.
Column 1 - lower story on Mexico Floods is half missing and combined with an advert that is also half missing.
