ROOSEVELT SAYS
WON'T RAP TAFT
Colonel FIatIy Denies Published State
ment That He Declared President
Was Not a Progressive.

Boston, Feb. 2S.-Although Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt has declared his
intention OF making a "straight-out-
fight" for the presidential nomination,
he let it be known that he would not
be drawn into a personal controversy
with the present administration.
The colonel was angered by state
ments published to the effect that he
had said President Taft was not pro-
gressive. He said that in his political
conferences, during which he was rep
resented as having made the state
ment, President Taft's name had not
been mentioned and that his opinion
in regard to the administration had
not been asked or expressed.
Colonel Roosevelt repeated his state
ment that he had not taken his pres
ent position for personal reasons, and
he made it clear that he did not pro-
pose to make the issue in any sense a
personal one.
Colonel Roosevelt was asked to eX-
plain the position he will maintain
during the campaign. In reply he is
sued the following statement
81 could not more definitely state
my position on the great issues OF the
day than | stated it in my Columbus
speech, and again before the Massa-
chusetts legislature. In addition to
calling attention to what l there said
on the subject of popular government,
also call particular attention to what
| said at Columbus ON the business
situation and the proper attitude of
the government toward business so as
to insure conditions that will make for
the prosperity of the business world
and of all our people.
I'm my Ohio speech | dwelt with
emphasis upon the two great subjects
of immediate moment to our people,
the need of having a real and not
merely nominal popular rule, and the
need of securing prosperity for the
business man, the wage Garner and
the farmer alike. AS I then said,
most emphatically believe that 1t is
necessary to have an equitable divi-
sion of prosperity, but that II behooves
us to keep in mind that We cannot
uiVlue the prosperity unless tne pros
perity is there to divide, ard that TO
secure the well being OF the world is
emphatically in the interest of every
citizen of the United States"
Organization of the Roosevelt move-
ment In New England was carried
further, although Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt said that he was going to
give more time to literature than to
politics.

Senator Reed said that while there
