ROOSEVELT FIRES ANOTHER
BROADSIDE AT PRESIDENT


New York, July 19.--In the current
issue of The Outlook, Theodore Roose-
velt has two editorials relating to
phases of the Chicago convention. He
denies charges that steam roller
methods were used to nominate him in
1904 and declares he knew of no
steam roller" in 1908 when President
Taft was nominated; that if he had
known of anything Of this sort, he
would have interfered. In 1904, Mr..
Roosevelt says, the leading politicians
Of the party were against him. How
ever, he says, he appealed direct to the
people, and the demand for him was
so great that long before the conven-
ton the politicians abandoned thought
Of presenting a contest.
These statements are in answer to
some of the men responsible for the
steam roller work at the Chicago con-
vention who had sought to excuse
themselves by saying they were only
doing what had always been done
and, specially what was done for me
at the time of my nomination, and
what was done for Mr.. Taft himself
four years ago"
Mr.. Roosevelt says there was one
essential difference. between thu atti-
tude Of the Republican bosses at Chi
cago and the Democratic bosses at
Baltimore. The Republicans, he said,
preferred certain party defeat to my
nomination; the Democrats were will
Ing to accept any nomination rather
than face certain party defeat"
Contrasting the anti-boss movements
In both parties, Mr.. Roosevelt says
his appeal was made straight to the
people against the bosses, while the
fight at Baltimore was to persuade
the bosses into themselves nominat-
ing DR.. Wilson, thus securing the per-
petuation Of their own control In sew
eral states"
