gress which Will support him"
Sept. 81, 1908 Mr. Roosevelt issued
a statement in regard to the Foraker
disclosures in which he said OF Mr..
Taft:
His attitude on this question, as
we'll on countless other question:
convinced me that of all the men in
this union he was the man pre-emi-
nently fit in point of uprightness and
character, of fearless and aggressive
honesty and of fitness for champion
ing the rights of the people as a whole
to be president"
These are only few of the laud
atory opinions of Mr.. Taft which were
expressed by Mr.. Roosevelt before Mr.
| Taft became president Wherein has
=, Mr.. Taft changed since he entered the
white house? Is he less fearless is he
| less honest. is he less faithful, is he
less dtsinterested, is he less upright is
| he less patriotic than he was when Mr..
| Roosevelt insisted that he was the one
man "of all the men in this union" who
was pre-eminentiy qualified to be presi-
dente
| Mr.. Taft was elected president on
| Mr.. RooseveIts recommendation The
/ public record indicates no marked de :
| terioration in Mr. Taft's character in
the last four years. He seems to be
| the same sort of man that he was then.
| MIR. Roosevelt must have information
! of very serious change in Mr.. Taft
| else he would not be against the re-
nomination and recollection of the man
| he praised highly fonr years ago
! But strangely enough, Mr.. Roosevelt has
| never enumerated the Taft offenses OIL
explained why he had lost confidence in
/ the president.
1t is Mr.. Rosevelt's solemn duty to
| explain to the American people why
! Mr. Taft no longer deserves their sup
| port. They have right to know VIVA,
! their president has done to deserve
| the bitter opposition of their only liv-
/ ing eX-president.
