Louisville COurier-J ournal.


Mr.. Glenn, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor OF North Carolina,
in IL recent speech, described Theo-
dore Roosevelt as IN assailant of the
entire white people of the South. One
would suppose that this went with
out saying. The President has made
no bones about it, nor attempted to
conceal it. His conduct in Office
sufficiently proves it. Yet, when Mr..
Glenn quoted him to the effect that
STRAINS OF coarse brutality ran
through the Southern people, he
put himself to the pains OF denying it
through Mr.. Rollins, State chairman
of North Carolina Republicans. Now
comes Mr.. Glenn with the deadly
specification. On page 161 of Mr..
Roosevelt's Life of Benton" copy
righted in 1886, Mr.. Roosevelt uses
the following language: "Slavery
was chiefly responsible for the streak
of coarse and brutal barbarism
which ran through the Southern
character" Mr. Roosevelt's denial
to Chairman Rollins was "that the
Glenn statement was absolutely
false" All of which is perfectly
characteristic of the shifty politician
caught in a corner.
