dency.
only a part OF the letter is allowed 10

would be great commotion. Mrs. Brown
says In part:
Il have written number of letters
for Roosevelt which, If their contents
we're known, would create quite SEN
sation IN America. But | IAN say this
the belief here ~ that Taft has been
foolish to throw away the last shred Of
public confidence by publicly acknowleds-

his inability to cope with the situation
ana MS discouragement therefore.
There are many things I'm the Roose-

From statements by the officers e

Just as the dangerous rags which
