Robt. Lincoln
Hits Roosevelt.

On board President Tafts train
Newark. \. j., April 2S-While on his
way North, tonight. to resume his
campaign in Massachusetts, President
Taft made public letter from Robert
7. Lincoln, son of President Lincoln,
in which Col Theodore Roosevelt is
criticized and condemned for what
Mr.. Lincoln declares is perversion OF
the truth.
My personal feelings the letter
reads, are unimportant, but am not
only impatient, but indignant that
President Lincoln's words and plain
views should be perverted and misap-
piled before trusting people into sup
port of doctrines which | believe he
would abhor if living"
Mr.. Lincoln's letter was written, he
says, in answer to request for an
opinion of repeated assertions by Mr.,
Roosevelt that his attitude on certain
radica, doctrines is supported by the
recorded views of the martyred Pres
ident.
