STATEMENT BY Mr.. HARRISON.
Unfortunate for the President That He
Cannot Stand Criticism.

Representative Harrison made the
following statement:
1T is unfortunate for the president
that he cannot stand criticism; it is
unfortunate for the country that he
cannot stand the truth. My news
paper statement at which he takes Of
fense was merely an exposition of the
scandaIous fact that the president had
sent to the senate of the United States
an Official document in the Ba11inger-
Pinchot controversy of which the date
had been v,ilfully falsiffed by being
pre-dated. Ny resolution of inquiry
drew out this information in a written
confession by the attorney general.
1T is Of no concern to me that I
am not welcome at the White house,
but it is of concern to every Ameri-
truth about the president may render
it impossible for a representative to
discharge his duties.
II came to the White house today
not as a matter of pleasure, but in the
execution of public duty. I came
by appointment made with the presi-
dental Office on May 81 to present a
delegation Of distinguished Hebrews
on an important public mission.
After a delay of forty minutes at
the very door of the presidents Of

Mould not receive me. 1t is not sur
face to face anyone who was instru-
mental in bringing to light the des-
perate attempt to bolster the admins
tration case in the Ballinger-P -Pinchot
matter by manipulating public docu-
ments. If everyone who is justly crit
icising the Taft administration is to
be barred from the White house, it will
become a lonely place"
Representative Gofdfogle said to-
night. as did Representative Keliher
today, that had he known Mr.. Harri-
son was not to he received at the
