Worcester, Mass, April 26.-De-
nunciation of President Taft was
Roosevelt's reply tonight to the presi-
dents attack upon him yesterday.
Some Of Roosevelt's assertions were
that Taft was not giving the people of
the country a square deal, but that,
owing TO a quality feebleness," he had
yielded to the bosses and great
privileged interests; that ole part OK
Tafts attack upon him was "the
crookedest kind of a deal," and de
liherate misrepresentation; that the
president has not merely in thought,
word and deed been disloyaI to our
past friendship, but has been disloyal
TO every canon of ordinary decency
and fair dealing such as snould obtain
even in dealing with a mans bitterest
opponents; that the presidents state
ments regarding the influence of fed :
eral ofhceholders in his campaign was
not only an untruth, but it is an abb
surd untruth."
That Taft convicted himself of in
sincerity when he signed the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill
That in speaking of Roosevelt's po-
s1tion in regard to the trust problem
Taft is himself guilty of a crooked
deal'''
Roosevelt tok up Tafts attack
point by point, fiaying the president
In one scathing sentence after an
other.
A big crowd met Roosevelt here. He
spoke in Mechanican's hall and later
addressed an overflow meeting.
