Ainswo1'th Case.
PRESIDENT ALSO
is CRITICIZED
Sensational Report Presented to
House by Military Affairs
Committee, Which Declares
It Can Readily Account for
Assault on Former Ad-
jutant- General of Army.

Washington. April s.-President
Taft and Secretary stimson are Sc
vsrely arraigned in a sensational re-
port on the Ainswortn case presented
to the House to-day by the Military
Affairs Committee
Secretary Stimson is charged with
having committed great and ir-
reparablc wrong" and "a fragrant mis-
use of official authority" when last
February he suspended General Aims
worth from his duties as adjutant-
general of the army and charged him
with differentiation That the Pres!-
dent and Secretary Stlmson prejudged
the case: that the accusations against
thc general were based upon prejudice.
And that the Secretary OF War has an
erroneous Idea" of his relation to
Congress. are some of the other con-
ciusions reached by majority OF tins
committee, of which Representative
Hay. OF Virginia, is chairman.
Following General Ainsworth's re-
lief from duty. and when court-mar-
tial seemed probable, the President
permitted him TO retire from the army
because OF his long service. The re-
port follows an investigation of AIMS
worth's relief from duty, set afoot by
resolution by Representative Wat
kins. OF Louisiana.
CriticizinE the relief OF General
Ainsworth. this report declares the
worst feature OF 1t was that this
officer. OF long and distinguished SER
vice. had no tribunal to which he could
treatment"
Suspension Not justified.
The majority OF the committee con-
clude that General Ainsworth had been
guilty of no act which justified the
letter of >euspension from Secretary
Stimsoa; and that the charges hal
op!gin in a determination to drive
General A!nsworth from active SER
vice, and have nothing to support
them but bare assertion. coupled with
misrepresentation and suppression OF
the truth" The report then goes on
to say that 1t Is incredible OF belief
that Secretary stimson believed Gen
eral Ainsworth guilty Of the charges.
and adds
Some other reason must have ao-
tuated the Secretary of War. and that
reason IS not hard to find. Your COM
mit;ee. being familiar with all the
phases of the legislative features in
the army appropriation bill. can very
readily account for this violent as
sanlt on General Ainsworth."
1t is pointed out that General Ains-
worth favored the hvc-year enlist
ment plan in the army bill. which was
opposed by other officers Of the gem
eral stan, and that Secretary Slim
sons letter of suspension to the gen
eral was sent on the day that this
feature of the bill was being discussed
in the House.
Secretary Stimson's comment to the
House when he sent the papers In the
ease. to the effect that his action was
not to be construed as n recognition
of the authority OF tho House, or any
OF It's committees. to require of the
chief executive statement OF reasons
for his official action is severely
criticized

certain letter to the Secretary OF War,
upon which much nf the charges was
based. Is defended

NewYork, N. Y, Oct. IS, 1912.
Hon. Daniel W. Lawler,
st. Paul, MINI.
AS the democratic nominee for
United States senator in Minnesota on.
behalf Of the national democracy, I
desire to extend to you my best wishes
in your contest. consider your elec-
ton enc Of the most essential achieve
ments in the pending campaign. Gov
ernor Wilson's election to the presi-
dency by,an overwhelming majority is
certain. There is no doubt that he will
control the house Of representatives by
great majority. It is desirable there
fore that every supporter of Wilson
and Marshall should turn attention to
the election Of democratic senate and
use every honorable means to promote
the success Of democratic candidates
for the senate. The control Of both
houses of congress will insure the ex-
ecution of the policies for which Gov
ernor Wilson and the democratic party
stand.
I. trust that every supporter Of Gov
ernor Wilson in Minnesota will there
fore earnestly and enthusiastically sup
port your candidacy. Please convey
this message to the democracy Of your
state and to all supporters Of Governor
Wilson. Every voter supporting Gov
ernor Wilson should remember that a
vote for democratic candidate for
the legislature is indirectly a vote for
a democratic United States senator: It
is likewise contribution to the sue
cess of Governor Wilson's admins
tration. All should bear in mind that
democratic senate and democratic
house, with Governor Wilson in the
presidency, will insure the carrying
out Of those policies we advocate.
-WILLIAM F. McCONBS,
Chairman Democratic National COM
mittee.
