CONSIGNS WILSON
 TO ANANIAS CLUB
The Colonel Flatly Denies Statements of Democratic Candidate in
 New England

Atlanta, September es-Gov Wood row Wilson was charged by Colonel Roosevelt here tonight with making statements in regard to his position which were mot merely an untruth. but the direct reverse of the truth"
 Speaking before a large crowd here tonight, the eX-President took up re- cent statements of the democratic can ddate and denied them flatly. He said that Governor Wilson did not believe some of these things and knew that Colonel Roosevelt had never said them.
 Colonel Roosevelt spent the day in campaigning across Alabama and Geor- gla. In spite of a rain which fell steadily until the day was almost done. he was received at the larger places by crowds which cheered him as the bands played Dixie"
 At Macon, where he spent an hour this afternoon, he spoke to several thousand persons Colonel Roosevelt reached Atlanta this evening and will remain here over night.
 Taft and Wilson Together
 "It is curious to see," he said here tonight how Messrs. Taft and Will son are drawing together in their hos tility to the progressive party and its principles. On the great issues of the day the democratic and republican plat forms are in fundamental sympathy, for in reality the difference between the two old parties on these issues is a mere difference of sound and fury in defamation. there being no difference whatever in action and hardly real difference even in proposed action. In their attitudes toward the group of questions dealing with labor and with social and industrial justice, In their at titudes toward the courts, and in their attitudes toward the trusts, Messrs. Wilson and Taft stand on the same ground They neither of them have one practical proposition to make looking toward the betterment of single evil In our social and industrial life.
 "lt is doubtless because Mir. Wilson has no clear-cut convictions on these great problems that he is so utterly vague in his propositions for remedying the evils which he admits exist. For this he is to be pardoned. But he is not to he pardoned when he deliberately mistakes my position When I quote MT Wilson give his words verbatim, as contained in the reports of his speeches in news papers friendly to him. MT. Wilson af- fects to quote me when he deliberately attributes to me what l have never said and what I am obliged to say. he must know that l never Sdlu AL Boston, day before yesterday, he stated that I had said that it was inevitable that ts.e trusts should build up an irresistible power: that despair of replacing the power' and that I suggest that we try our best to make the trusts good, pitiful, kind and just and that we transfer oar own affairs to those who by subtlety have combined against us./ Now every one of these statements is simply not true.
 Wants Him to Be More Specific q ask MT. Wilson to point out where and when it was that I said that wished to make the trusts 'pitiful or kind He cannot do it. and he knows he cannv, do it. His statement is an invention. I ask him to point out where I have ssid that we are to transfer our own affairs to those who by subtlety have comhins.l against us He cannot do 1t and he knows he cannot do it. His statement Is an in- vention. Again, his statement that have ever said that the trusts must be per ruitted to build up an irresistible power
