JOSEPH NJ. DIXON
Retort by Taft Leader.
Today the Taft bureau comes back a
follows:
Senator Joseph NJ Dixon Of Montana,
national campaign manager OF Theodore
Roosevelt, carried Washington. ID. c., by
a large majority of billingsgate yester-
day. 1t is believed the senator ia endeay-

use of reckless language. Such manifes-
tations indicate the high state of excite
ment under which both Mr.. Roosevelt
and Senator Dixon are laboring in try
ing to make DO delegates on hand and
$40 needed to nominate meet on the same
table. The Taft national headquarters
respectfully suggests that no better ex-
planatory note has yet come to its at
tention as an appropriate addenda to
the table of delegates put out daily by
the Roosevelt headquarters over the sig
nature OF Senator Dixon than the follow
ing quotation from his 'brainstorm' Of

ton is deliberate, willful har These lies

Senator Dixon voiced again yesterday
his oft-repeated misstatement that the
President carried Lorimers district in
Chicago when he knows il was not Lori
mer's district. but Sabaths district. Wry
does he persist in this?
