He read a statement to a press con-

Therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt said, he
had decided to point out to the
hr,or'can people what those fall
eificatiOnS were. But. in response to
auction. he told reporters they
would have to wait for the addresses
to learn what he considered the mis-
representations to be-
There is possibility, the Dem

five addresses. scheduled for Wash

NeWsmen told him that the change
would put him in Baltimore the same
day that Wendell L. Willkie is sche-

Mr.. Roosevelt's statement started
out with a reminder that in his ad-
dress accepting the third term nomi-

but would never be loath to call the
attention of the American people to
deliberate or unwilling falsifications
of fact.
