Li TO TWO EDITORS Flays Smith, of Indianapolis News and Laffan, of New York Sun. APPROVAL GIVEN BY MR. TAFT Indorses Denial of Charges That President's Relative and C. P. Taft Profited by Canal Purchase?Denies American Citizens "Grafted.'* Washington, D. C. ? President Roosevelt has reopened the Ananias Club list to let in two editors. Incidentally he has taken a slap at cue Vice-President over the shoulder of one of them. UnderaHotSpringsdate a characteristic Roosevelt letter addressed to William Dudley Foulke, of Indiana, was made "public. The letter v bristles with the short and the ugliest - kind of words, all applied to Delavan .Smith, an Indiana politician and publisher of the Indianapolis News, and William M. Laffan. who conducts and controls the New York Sun. Mr. Roosevelt, in denouncing the charges, uses the following: it a t t VU ? AUOII1 lUttuic xaiocuvuu. "Slander." "Mr. Delavan Smith (editor of the Indianapolis News) is a conspicuous, offender agdinst the laws of honesty and truthfulness." "Mr. Smith lied." "He occupies the same evil eminence with such men as Mr. Laffan, 'of the New York Sun." Mr. Smith's offending was the publication of an editorial in his paper on the Panama Canal charges. These charges, which figured somewhat in the campaign, connected Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law of President Roosevelt, and Charles P. Taft with < an alleged deal in the purchase of the canal from the French company. These relatives of the President and President-elect were asserted to "have been members of a syndicate engineered by William Nelson Crom.well for the purchase of the stock of the French Panama Company from the French stockholders when it was certain that .the United States would buy this stock. The French stockholders were supposed to have sold out at a low figure. Foulke, former Civil Service. Commissioner, brought the Indianapolis News paragrpah to the President's attention. What lies behind .this In fact is this wrath of the ""President, the President-elect and their friends at the fit of sulks displayed by VicePresident Fairbanks and hii Indiana crowd after the Chicago Convention. Mr. Smith is a cousin of Mr. Fairbanks, and the latter is frequently charged with : having an interest in the Indianapolis News. This paper, in supporting Mr. Fairhanks for the Presidential nomination, hammered Judge Taft very hard indeed. After the Chicago Convention the News bolted Mr. Taft, al- > chough it did not formally declare for Mr. Bryan. Indiana, it will be remembered, was held a very doubtful State, and the steady campaign attacks on Mr. T&ft by the News worried the Republican leaders greatly. The President seized the occasion offered him by Mr. Foulke io get even. As for the New York Sun, it has caused Mr. Roosevelt to rage about once in twenty-four hours for the full L seven years of his term. His conf nection of Mr. Laffan with the Smith affair is merely an attempt to kill two birds with one rhetorical brick.
