 responsibility For Forgery.
 CHICAGO. Sept. 29.,- William Mall iy national secretary of the Socialist party, has issued 8 statement, h which he says:
 '"The Socialist party has no share in the responsibility incurred by the cir. culation of the fictitious letter said tG have been written to Michael Donnelly by President Roosevelt. The letter bears on its face the evidence of it's own spuriousness for even if the pres ident entertained the views attributed to him it would have been eniinently tactless and foolish for him to have given them out in that form at this time.
 Every piece of literature issued by the national Socialist party bears the imprint of the national committee, and we are willing to accept any responsi. bility it's issuance may bring. Our in. dictment is of the capitalist system, and we can find enough of truth to. charge against it and both old parties without resorting to dishonest or quea. tionable methods to make our case"
