some VERY hot talk
ROOSEVELT CHARGED WITH Buy.
ING Up THE VOTE
One Of the Roosevelt Leaders Said
to Have Exhibited bis Pile While
in ashiagton.

The Taft and Roosevelt national
headquarters clashed today over the
Maryland primary results. The word
lie" was freely used by Senator Dix
on, head OF the Rooserlt committee.
Early in the day the Taft headQuar-
ters put out q statement on the Mary
land results, part Of which follows:
More than half OF Mr.. RooseTelt's S
entire delegate vote came from the
city and county Of Baltimore, where
it IS stated the Roosevelt managers
placed $4,000 among their workers
at an early hour Monday.
In Prince Georges county, which
definitely decided the contest so far
as present returns indicate. Roosevelt
money in large amounts wos poured
into the county. Large rolls Of small
bills, accompanied by checks to be
used II needed were sent out from
Washington on Sunday, at least one
well-known leader in the district hav-
ing voluntarily exhibited such a roll
in Washington on Sunday after
noon"
This statement was duly delivered
In the Roosevelt headquarters about
noon, the rival organizations having
an amicable arrangement whereby
they exchange daily bulletins and
statements.
Here is Senator Dixons's answer:
"Eyeryone OF these statements IS
deliberate, wilful lie. Every man
connected with their concoction and
circulation IS deliberate, wilSul liar.
These lies are circulated for the pur-
pose and for the only purpose, for
which liars always lie"
