Says Taft Kept Silent on Lorimer
Case Till He Los; Illinois and Then
Went to Other States and De-
nounced Lorimer.
Associated Press.

Associated Press
Oyster Bay, ~ Y, May I'm a
statement issued tonight Colonel
Roosevelt said that when President
Taft made statement in Baltimore
last night that Roosevelt was in
favor of repeating the Sherman anti
trust law, Taft knew he was making
an untrue sta ement.
Colonel Roosevelt reiterated that
Taft while a member of the Roose-
welt cabinet repeatedly and en-
phatically approved of the course
actually taken" with regard to de-
laying the prosecution Of the Har-
vestcr Trust.
President Taft in his Baltimore
speech said the records showed that
the Harvester mat er was handled in
November while he was on trip
around the world, from August until
late in December
The Colonel insists the matter was
taken up at meeting Of the cabinet
in January when Taft was present.
In. his statement Mr. Roosevelt
further says, ''As long as there was
hone that Senator Lorimer might
carry Illinois for Taft, Taft kept
silent about Lorimer, but as soon as
Illinois was lost to Mr.. Taft, he
rushed to Massachusetts, where there
were no LOrimer votes and repud-
lated Mr. Lorimer.
I'm Kentucky, Indiana and New
York City and elsewhere, Mr. Taft
knows well that the delegates elected
for him represent barefaced frauds.
Evidently Wall street has made
up its mind that Taft's prosecutions
of the trusts are fake prosecutions,
whereas the bitter hostility of Wall
street ME shows how lively is its
memory Of the fact that my prosecu-
tions were really executions and hurt
the persons prosecuted.
