MALIGNANT ATTACK
UPON ROOSEVELT
Taft'S TiradG Not New to Men
Who Know Him.
When Seeking the Presidency In 1903
He strove to Appear as Stsnch
Progressive-Wore a Mask For TWO
Years-Has Now Openly Stamped
Himself as a Reactionary.

Washington, April. - Stung to the
long patent fact that the voters of the
Republican party had repudiated his
candidacy for denomination and are
overwhelmingly in favor Of the nomi-
nation of Colonel Roosevelt as their
candidate for the presidency this year,
Mr. Taft has at last thrown aside all
restraint and carried out the threat
which he has been mutteriHg to his in
Inmates for some weeks to speak out
in public his real thoughts about the
man who made him president.
In Mr.. Taft's TRADE against Mr..
Roosevelt at Springfield. Mass, there
is nothing essentially new to those who
have been on anything more than re-
lations of casual intimacy with the
president for some time. 1t is a fact
known to not a few Of those closely
connected with the campaign of 1908
that even at that time the Taft fam
lily was displaying that peculiarly ma
lignant temper toward Mr.. Roosevelt
which so often takes the place of graft
tude in the hearts of those who have
benefited by great service rendered
by a friend. 1t is fact known to not
a few persons that at times during the
campaign of 1908 the talk about Mr..
Roosevelt among members of the Taft
family was such as to cause the great
est uneasineSS to the managers Of Mr..
Taft's campaign for the presidency,
lest it should become public and work
serious damage to the campaign. Those
familiar with the true feeling toward
Mr.. Roosevelt in the Taft family have
been surprised that Mr.. Taft has con-
cealed for so long his real attitude to-
ward his benefactOr
From the time last fall when the
strong sentiment of the country in IA
for of Colonel Roosevelt began to man.
ifest itself Enthusiastically, there has
been much talk from Taft sources
about Colonel Roosevelt's ingratitude
to Mr.. Taft. It has been assumed by
Mr.. Taft's partisans that, because Colo
mel Roosevelt was instrumental in
bringing about Mr. Taft's nomination
and election to the presidency, he was
therefore bound at nil times. under all
circumstances and at all costs, to sup
port Mr. Taft's administration and MI
Taft's denomination and election. That
assumption is entirely and
has no logical justification. The fact is
that Taft, the president, is not and
never for one moment has been the

AS Sanford and Esther watched
them the same thought shaped itself
in both minds. They faced each other
smiling. Sandford spoke first, with
somehow a curious tightness in his
throat. They can never catch US, and
the chances are they cannot shoot to

explained after another mile. The

led to a ridge top, whence they could
