Letter Was Needed.
ACCUSED OF WORKING FOR TAFT
I His Services as Alleged, Being in Of
fetal Appointments
President Says the Charges Are False
and Malicious''--Foraker Makes
Reply 20 President in
the Senate.

President Roosevelt has made reply
10 the recent public statements tnat he
has made use OF federal patronage 10
further the presidential interests OF
Secretary Taft. The reply Is IN the
form OF letter made public Monday
and addressed to William Dudley
Foulke. Of Richmond, Ind. and in.
cludes letter from Foulke to the
president suggesting the need Of such
a statement and quoting several
newspaperarticles making the charges.
'rhe president begins by characterizing
the charges as "false and malicious "
He follows this with an analysis Of
all appointments sent by him 70 the
senate for It's action 20 show that In No
case has the proximity OF a presi-
dental contest influenced his actions.
After declaring the charges "falso
and malicious" the president says;
Remember that those now making
this accusation were buslly engaged
two months ago in asserting that
was using the Offices to secure my own
denomination. It Is the kind OF ac-
cusation which for the next few
months will be rife. This particular
Islander will be used until exploded.
and when exploded those who have
used It win promptly invent another
Such being the case I almost wonder
whether II is worth while answering;
but as IL you who ask, why the an
swer you shall have
How He Makes Appointments.
The president then says that poll
ties has had nothing TO do with his ap-
polntments for the last eleven months
Ia some cases more Democrats than
Republicans being appointed, aud In
the case OF judges politics being who'll
liz a secondary consideration
"There remains the allegation as 10
the appointment OF Taft workers 10
postofices in Ohio. In Ohio i have
made fifty-clght postonice appoint
ments; twenty-seven OF these were re-
appointments, thirty-one were new ap.
pointments, the last including the
cases where the incumbent had died
had been removed for cause. or had
iSHiShfh Nthcidiiy inc appointment
was made exactly as I'm other states,
upon the recommendation OF the con-
gresham from the district" In sew
cral cases the appointments were made
on the recommendation OF Senators
Foraker and Dick.
A newspaper article alleging that
"somebody has instructed postmasters
that they must obtain from their sub.
ordlnates either their designations or
their pledges OF support for Taft dele
gates TO the convention" and this
Gwen IN Massachusetts" Is declared 10
contain mot n particle OF truth" and
the president challenges those making
such statement to produce specific
cases"
