MISTAKEN OR NOT
TELLING THE TRUTH"
Healing Replies to Roose-
velt's Charge that Dele
gates Were Unseated.

Indianapolis, IND, March 2S.-John
B. Healing. one Of the Taft managers in
Indiana, today in a public statement
replied TO colonel ROOsevelts charge
in his Chicago speech that the Keal-
ing machine" fraudulently unseated 200
delegates to the state convention, which
instructed four delegates at large for
Taft
Colonel Roosevelt is either grossly
misinfOrmed or is deliberately stating
an untrIth,' said Healing. I'VE con-
tested only 10 seats and the Roosevelt
people contested 80 among them the
seats OF 127 delegates from the In
dianapOlis district, who had been
elected at primaries by a 4 to 1 vote.
We simply prevented these legally
elected delegates being unseated.
The Roosevelt faction knew the Taft
people had a majority in the convention
and begged for a compromise. They
asked that we give Roosevelt two dele
gates at large and take two for Taft.
That we declined to do. They were
perfectly willing to accept two dele
gates from this same convention they
now denOunce as fraudulent"

The actual circulation of daily
newspaper Is easy for any advertiser
to ascertain, if the publisher is not
afraid TO have the truth known. De
pend upon it, a publisher who declares
