At Evansville Governor Roosevelt
said:
Mr.. Bryan yesterday attempted to
answer what said about his attacks
on the United States army. He says
that tho President In his message OF
December, 1898, asked for an army Of
100, 900 men two months before there
was any war In the Philippine islanda.
He asks: Does Mr.. Roosevelt know
this?' or course know It, and let mo
also add that Mr.. Bryan ought to know

the army up. Every Intelligent obser-

porary army of $1,000 regulars and $4,000
| volunteers was called for In December
because OF the threatened trouble in
the Philippines. Any statesman with
the slightest pretension to the name
could not but see that this trouble was
threatening and would have been GRIM
