ROOSEVELT HOT SHOT.

0« Haskell. Governor Haskell’s utter unfitness for any public position of trust or for association with any man anxious to make an appeal on a moral issue to the American people has been abundantly shown. ... -- —— As an American citizen who prizes his Americanism and cltlsenship far above any Question of partisanship, I regard it as a scandal and disgrace that Governor Haskell should be connected with the management of a national campaign.

To Bryaa. tn my judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly id-* effective In curing an evil, and so far as they had any effect at all would merely throw the entire business of the country into hopeless and utter confusion. I put Mr. Taft's deeds against your words. I ask that Mr. Taft be judged by all his deeds, for he wishes none of them forgotten. I ask that you be judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words that seemingly you and your party now desire to have forgotten.
