Washington, Feb. S.-There have

The replies mention practice marches,
compulsory exercises in the gymna-

cutting off of "extras" in the way of
food and the character of extra work.
The department has taken steps to
ameliorate some of these conditions.
The ration has been increased and con-
gress has been asked to create a SER

PRESIDENT DENIES CHARGES
Gays He Did Not Make Appointments
to Aid Taft's Candidacy.


Washington, Feb. 10. - President
Roosevelt made answer to the recent
public statements that he has made use
of federal patronage to further the
presidential interests of Secretary TAFT
The answer is in form of a letter ad-
dressed to William Dudley Foulke, of
Richmond, Ind, and includes a letter
from Mr.. Foulke to the president sug-
gesting the need of such statement.
The president begins by characteriz-
ing the charges as false and malici-
GUS" He follows this with an analysis
of all appointments sent by him to the
senate for it's action to show that in no
case has the proximity of a president
ial contest influenced his action.
The president says since congress ad-
journed on March last he made 1852
appointments, 1854 being pOstmasters.
In naming the latter he accepted the
suggestions of senators and congress-
men of the localities concerned. He
says in Ohio the appointments were
made in that way and several on the
recommendation of Senators Foraker
and Dick, and the charges relate to
only these, of which two were nomiu-
ated in the usual fashion on the recon-
mendation of the out going congress-
man; and that the third nomination
was made on the report of postal in
spector and would have been made
without the slightest regard to wheth-
er there was a presidential canvass
on hand or not.

these matters into their own hands.
No man or faction of men in the Demo-
cratic party have a prior right on
honesty and full competence to manage
the affairs of our party, but on the
contrary the loudest takers about re-
forms and such as give hypocritical
pharlsaical expressions are not trusted
by the people because of their hypoc-
ricy and indifference about the true
success of their party, but solely
through their own Indifference or in
competency to do active and unselfish
party work, makes the people grow
tired of their harangue, knowing We'll
that most of the men agitating against
presumed existing evils only are anx-
ious to obtain party control either TO
mismanage or prostitute their hold for
selfish and vindictive purposes ana not
for party harmony and aggressiVeness.
Therefore I appeal to all Democrats
to come out in large numbers and
demonstrate to all our interest in the
party and take full advantage OF the
disordered and torn up conditions of
the Republican party and perfect a
united Democracy to snatch a deserved
and long awaited victory for the party
of the people.
Judge the men who would redeem the
party from all its imperfections. Per-
haps 1t might be we'll to add that our
Democrat patriots are just now much
animated with party fervor and willing
to hook up with party harness. much
worn out by faithful war horses.
Victors and Spolls
To the victors belong the spoils, but
let the boldest and bravest warriors
carry off the honors of war and the
stragglers and laggards of the many
struggles let them look on as they dt1
in the past.
Come out, Democrats and patriots!
Defend your party and your party S
tradition and patriotism. Let US work
increasingly and begin on Saturday
night to carry on brilliant fight for
honest and merited success. Keep down
strife and unfair methods. Let no man
besmirch himself with dirty or corrupt
methods and let Democracy, true to Its
meaning, carry on the everlasting fgh'
