Roosevelt today made answer to the
recent public statements that he has
made use of federal patronage to fur
ther the presidential interests of Sec
retary Taft The answer is in form of
a letter addressed to William Dudley
Foulke, of Richmond, Ind. and in
cludes a letter from Mr.. Foulke to the
president suggesting the need of such
a statement
The president begins by characterize
ing the charges as false and mali
cious" He follows this with an an
alysis Of all appointments sent by him
to the senate for its action to show
that in no case has the proximity Of
a presidential contest influenced his
actions Mr. Foulke's letter dated
February 5, says.
"On January 13 | laid before you
an article in the Indianapolis News ca
paper supporting the candidacy of Mr..
Fairbanks), accusing you of using the
federal patronage to secure the nomt-
nation Of Mr., Taft and naming the
postOffiees in particular. l spoke OF
the fact that certain Taft men mad
been nominated in Ohio, and you an
swered that that was true. that YOU
,rouIa be very wax if Won allowed
