BY PARTISAN MOTIVES
Vigorously Dissects Mr.. Taft $
Charges and Answers Them
in Detail - Defends Jones
Measure

Washington, Dec. 1,--Secretary of
War Garrison refuses to retract a
single one of the harsh words which
he applied to eX-President Taft on
account of the latter's statements In
regard TO the wilson administration )
policy In the Philippines. Not only
does Mr. Garrison refuse to take back
his charge that blind partisansh!p
had led Mr.. Taft to make these state
Yuents. but he in effect reiterates the
Accusation.
AIR. Garrison answers in detail En-
President Taft's complaint that the
Original Garrlsots attack upon him was
unjust, vehement and unmeasured.
What ! said concerning MIR. Taft
was absolutely just was less vehement

II measured every word of it," is the
emphatic reply OF President Wilson S
Seer etary OF War.

charges against the administrators

IF not made for partisan pur-
poses, no concevab BILE motive can be
aserihed to him in making them, said
Mr. Garrison
With this latest statement from
Secretary Garrison, the row between
Him and the ex-President has as
sumed a place OF great interest IN
political circles. and although Mr.
Garrison intimated that the discussion
liz ended 50 far as he Is concerned
there is every indication that echoes
will be heard in the coming session
OF Congress.
Here is the Garrison statement:
