ployed the agency Of certain magazine
writer's some OF whom have not been
particularly familiar with political af-
fairs but who possess breezy and en-

Gle by William Allen White on the sub

siderable length TO analyze the article
in question. He said II was an effort 10
convince the people that the president
was not responsible for the postal
frauds I'm his administration, and that
Notwithstanding his long neglect to
prosecute them he was really the eXalt-
ed instrument which exposed them. II
the article WAS not dictated at the
White House tho speaker declared II
was at least inspired there. II would
fail or It's purpose, however because Il

IF true thls is a most serious aCcusa-
ton, II virtually accuses our two Re-
publican United states senators and al
so every prominent Republican I'm the
state with a crime. But 1t uplifts
Roosevelt and he apparently delights 10
be exalted at the expense OF others

president himself could have furnished
him this exclusive Information which
he now discloses to the public?

terly groundless that It's publication
was intended as spectacular and sem
satiOnal performance, and that it vas
concooted especially 10 aid the president
I'm the present contest regardless OF its
damaging effect upon others Being
false In one essential particular, the
whole article should be discredited
"Of course, II Senator Depew admits
the accusation and cOnfesses his guilt,
then withdraw my denunclation OF the
publication I'm question. n Senator
Green, or Senators Plat and Depew, in
his behalf, ever threatened President
Roosevelt because Of Senator Green's
indictment, Il was the presidents per-
sOna and official duty 20 have immedi-
ately exposed the dastardly attempt 10
intimidate him q the time II was made.

sity for the manufacture OF some politi-
cal sensation In the presidents behalf

done, should be given not merely self
government. but independence, lie

on his associates TO induce them to
share his own losses"
