In. a statement given out last night

charge that Gov.-Gen. Harrison 10 ad-

Dir. Tafts statement is the fourth
chapter OF the controversy between the
former President n Secretary OF War

N which ne charged that Mr.. Taft was
acting AS "a blind PARTISAN engased
in "a campaign to discredit the present
Administration Mr.. Taft In reply ac-
,used the Democrats OF misrule in the
Philippines. Secretary Garrison in an
other statement a few days later re-
newed- his charge. and again defended
the Administrators policy toward the
!Aneular possessions.
In his statement ex-Prcsident Taft

vented from realizing the truth con-

he reached the stands was to force

cause he held the largely nominal posi-

man In the Philippines. There were no
elections In the island for him TO take
an interest in. There was no oppor-

partisan or to neglect his office In poll
tics. IL was not a violation OF any civil
service regulation. Except for the par
tisan motive. the act is not explained.
