4 Washington Dispatch to the
Charlotte Observer s~ys the war
among the Republicans, With Presi-
dent Taft, Former President Roose-
velt and Senator La Toilette as the
presidential candidates, is The most
bitter internal party row in years
The Democrats, in their fifteen years
Of factional troubles, have not seen
anything like the conditions that
now prevail in the Republican camp.
Director Mckinley, Of the national
Taft bureau, and Chairman Dixon, Of
the national Roosevelt committee, are
going it like monkeys and parrots.
The Taft people We're comparatively
tame until the vote Of the Penns%l-
rania primaries was counted, and
then they woke up. The fatherly
restraint OF President Taft was for
gotten by Mr.. Mckinley and Colonel
Roosevelt and Mr.. Dixon roasted
roundly. Day by day the war has in
creased in fury.
President Taft has been persuaded
to Join his supporters in this fight
against Roosevelt. April 25, just five
days before the Massachusetts pCi-
maries, he will speak at Springfield,
Worcester and Boston, giving names
and dates, in reply TO attacks made
upon him by Colonel Roosevelt. Pres
ident Taft decided TO make war on
Roosevelt after long and careful de-
liberation. The Roosevelt speeches II
Illinois and Pennsylvania angered the
President but the dignity OF his posi-
ton restrained him. The situation
has changed. The attacks made N
Nebraska have caused Mr.. Taft 10 re-
verse his policy.
In speeches to be delivered at
Springfield, Worcester and Boston,
President Taft has agreed 10 tell the
people Of Massachusetts something
about Colonel Roosevelt that the pub
lie generally does not know things.
Mr.. Taft will give list OF a few
that Colonel Roosevelt insisted upon
him doing 1t is predicted that the
President will strike from the should
er, and give secrets that he would
not have divulged had it not been for
The bitter fight made on him by Col
onei Roosevelt in Illinois, Pennsyl-
vania and Nebraska.
At the White House it is said that
Colonel Roosevelt is being backed
hy the steel trust and the Interna-
tional Harvester Trust. The President
has information that important steel
trust officials are working desperately
to help nominate Roosevelt. Men
who run steel plants controlled by
the trust are coercing their men to
vote in primaries for Roosevelt, is
the charge made.
The steel trust, it is claimed, at the
White House, has gone over 70
Roosevelt officially and will support
him actively wherever it can do so.
It is charged that George ". Per
kins Of New York, has already con-
tributed 100000 to the Roosevelt
campaign, and has collected large
sums from other men connected with
the steel and harvester trusts. More
than $1,000.000, most of which came
from the Perkins trusts, it is said,
has been contributed for the Roose-
welt war on the President.
Mr.. Taft, his supporters claim, will
tell the people something about
Roosevelt within the next few weeks.
Director Mckinley, of the Taft bu-
reau approves Of the Presidents new
program. He opened up on the Col
onel just after the Roosevelt land
slide IN Pennsylvania, and has been
giving names and figures since.

nomination and reelection OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt to third term in the
White House?" asked Director Nc
