ROOSEVELT HITS OUT
TALK OF “DELIBERATE FALSIFICATION” .BY POLITICAL OPPONENTS. FACTS TO BE SUBMITTED TO PEOPLE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 9,30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, October 18. President Roosevelt, in a formal statement to the Press, said: “Speaking at the Democratic Convention on July 19, the President said: ‘I have not the time or,inclination to engage in purely political debate, but I will never be loath to call the nation’s attention to the deliberate or unwitting falsifications of fact.’ “There has been in this campaign,” he continued, “a systematic programme of falsification of fact by the Opposition. The President does not believe that this has been unwitting,. He believes it is deliberate falsification and therefore ihe has decided to tell the American people what these misrepresentations have been and in what respect they are .false.” Mr Roosevelt, when asked whether he considered the inclusion of Canada in a Pan-American Union was desirable, said he had not thought of the matter.
