PRESIDENT ANGERED
At Charge That He is Using Patronage In
Aid of Taft Singing Public
Reply Is Coming.

hePiy Is coming.
A Washington special says: Pres
ident Roosevelt feels very keenly the
charges recently made against the ad
ministration of the use of federal pa
tronage to secure delegates to the mex,
republican national convention pledged
to the nomination of Secretary Taft
This feeling has been strongly en-
phasized and a vigorous sentiment of
antagonism aroused by the action of
the senate recently in holding up ex-
ecutivs appointments for confirmation.
Accordingly the president called the
members Of his cabinet together
Thursday morning and discussed with
them the subject of making a public
reply to these charges. All the mem.
bers Of the cabinet were present ex-
cept Secretary Cortelyou.\ Several of
the cabinet ofiicers had engagements
to appear before congressional COM
mittees on various subjects of pend
ing legislation, and were compelled
to cancel them when the urgent sum-
mons from the white house were re-
ceived. The president instructed all
the members of his cabinet to prepare
as soon as possible a full list of the
recent appointments in his department
with the facts in each case. The
time which the order covered was left
Indefinite, and several members were
in doubt as to whether all recess ap-
pointments since the adjournment OF
the last congress were meant or SIM
ply those made since January 1.
At any rate the records are being
looked up, and when the facts are
placed in the hands of the president he
will issue a public statement. 1t will
will issue a public statement 1t will
not be addressed to congress.
1t will be recalled that among the
first appointments held up were those
Of postmasters at Toccoa and Conyers.
/ Ca, to succeed the incumbents, who
are women. The new appointments
were referred to the postofhce cabinet
and pigeen-holed. Next the senate or
dered an investigation in the Pensa-
cola, Fla, postofice affair. 1t ap-
pears that In this case a postmaster
has been Illegally holding Office for
a year after being rejected by the
senate for incompetency.
Next the senate rejected certain ap-
pointments on the ground that they are
made for political effect and in the in
terest of Secretary Taft. Finally, a
New Hampshire appointment was made
without consultation with the senators
from that state, and man was Sc
lected whom they opposed.
The president has Indignantly de-
MED making use of the executive ap-
pointiye power for political purposes,
and in each instance has asked for
specifications and promised those in
terested square deal.
In Georgia the announcement was
made that the changes ordered were
for incompetency on the part Of the
incumbents. For several days it has
been reported that the president in
tended to retaliate against the senate
for thus blocking practically all ap-
pointments sent In. Just how this was
to be done Is not apparent. The veiled
insinuation contained in the letter of
Governor Hughes to the republican
club is said to have been particularly
exasperating to President Roosevelt
and to have determined him upon the
present course.

DEMOCRATS MAIL
 REPUBLICAN DOPE
TWO VAN LOADS OF TAFT LIT FEATURE IN BOHEMIAN AND sLAvIsH IS DUMPED AND SENT OUT BY MISTAKE.

Chicago, October 13.-National Chairman Mack addressed a letter today to the chairmen of all state central committees, in which he charged that the republican campaign managers were calling upon friendly business interests to create and spread a belief that the election of w. J. Bryan means business depression, in or der to frighten the public into voting the republican ticket.
 MT Mack in his letter states that he will furnish from time to time the names of those who are seeking to create such impressions of what may follow to the business world if MT Bryan is elected, that the names and methods may be given the widest publicity. The national chairman directs the state chairmen to furnish him the names of any person or corporation resorting to these meth ods."

 MT. Hudspeth said today. referring tc the reported statement of H. H. Kohlsaa of Chicago, to the effect that there are three democratic editors in the country who are supporting Bryan in their papers but who do not wish to see him elected and that one of these is member of the democratic executive committee:
 'I challenge MT. Kohlsaat to give the member of the executive committee. MT Kohlsaat has come under the hypnotic influence of the White House. It is rather singular that all these reports about dis affected democrats come out of Washing tOn."

AN INDIGESTION
 REM EDY FREE

Many people who are otherwise healthy suffer from indigestion, or dyspepsia. When you consider that the stomach and allied digestive organs are the most important organs of the body, it would seem that a disorder there Is to be taken very seriously
 Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they like; food sours in the stomach then chronic constipation begins, or, as is often the case you have been consti- pated all along and the stools are forced and irregular.
 But there is no use letting indiges- tion go until 1t becomes chornic and undermines your health. It Is good advice to suggest to you that you go to your druggist and get bottle Of pr. Caldwellhs Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for stomach> liver and bowel trou- bles. That is what c. Fowler of Carson City, Mich, did and he Is well today. Others who did the same and are cured are Ida A. Fortune of Grand Junction, Tenn. B. F. Thompson of CTS that 1t saved his life. You can ob- tain a 5O-cent or $1 bottle of the drug gist and, taken according to direc tions, it will probably be all you need. It is a liquid, acts gently, never gripes, and besides the laxative effect contains the stomach, and that is what is especially needed in indigestion.
 All sufferers from indigestion who have never used pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can obtain free test bottle by writing the doctor. It will be sent charge. In this way tn thousands have proven to their own satisfaction .Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the very remedy they needed to cure fndiges- remedy you will throw violent cathar- tics tab1ats salts etc. away.
