WHAT REPUBLICANS SWALLOW

Quotations from Presi-
dents Writings Expressing
Opinion Of His Present
Champions Cited.
President Roosevelt was assailed
in the house Friday by Claude
Kitchin Of North Carolina. who in
cluded in his castigation Gen. Gros-
venor, whom be charged with having
Theodore Roosevelt, the
vice presidential candidate whom in
recent speech in the house be had
glorifed as the worthy successor Of
Mckinley, forgetting that during Nc
Kinley's last campaign as contribu-
tor to the New York Journal in signed
articles be (Grosvenor) had referred to
the president, then governor of New
York, "as a brilliant, cratic and
curious sort of a man." Mr.. kitchin
charged that Mr.. Roosevelt, as a
candidate for vice president, was dis
tasteful to Mckinley and challenged
Mr.. Grosvenor to deny it as we'll as
the statement that Mr.. Roosevelt as
vice president was humillated by the
friends of Mckinley, including Gen.
Grosvenor himself. And yet," he
said, you men sit here and gulp down
everything Roosevelt says and not one
Of you dares raise bis hand in memory
of Mckinley" Mckinley had right
to think that Roosevelt would be dis
tasteful to him. Contemplate" he
said. the amazing spectacle of any
Republican in the United States being
humiliate6 by Gen. Grosvenor and
contemplate this same man marshall
ing under his banner the hosts of Re-
publicans with Grcsyenor the chief
bugle blower. F."
To say that Roosevelt filed Nc
Kiniey's place, he declared, was a
dissertation Of McKinley'S name. It
was, be said, a case of the ant hill
taking the place Of the mountain: the
OWLS screech taking the place of the
tombs symphonies; the minnow TAX
ing the place Of the whale"
HIS ATTACK ON Mr.. DAVIS.
The people of the south. he said,
knew that 25 years after Apponattox,
Roosevelt in one OF his publications
had declared that until out Of the die
tionary was stricken the word trea-
son Jefferson Davis would be an arch
traitor. That, be said, was a strike at
the whole south and the Confederate
soldiers. he also referred to another
publication Of Mr. Roosevelt's in which
be is quoted as saying that through
out southern character there ran a
streak of coarse and brutal barbarism.
He compared the kind, loving words
of Mckinley" in an address to Con-
federate veterans, to ''the insulting
words of Roosevelt" !" He said that in
one of his books President Roosevelt
deliberately teaches and advocates
lynchings fur the stealing Of rag tail
Texas pony" He asked if that book
did not have something to do with
stimulating the great people of the
north to lawlessness. The people Of
the south, be said, condemn lynching
for all crimes, because the hand Of
civilization and Christianity bad been
lifted against it. No man the civilized
world over, be said, would condone
outrages against women and yet we
don't preach lynching or teach it, but
knowing the weakness of human na-
ture mobs cannot be controlled in
sparsely settled communities where
we cannot get sufficient police force
on the spot at once" He believed
that every Democrat and Republican
in the country would pause in shame.
that the president of the United
States had scattered books advocating
lynch law.
Reading from a speech made by Mr.
Roosevelt, governor Of New York, be
declared Mr.. Roosevelt had character
ICED the congress of the United States
as "herd of CATTLE" Laughter on
the Democratic side followed.
'The humiliating spectacle" he
continued, lis that since he has been
president OF the United States be has
treated the Republican house as a
herd of cattle, and the most humiliat-
ing thing about it was that the Re-
publicans allowed the president to
treat them as cattle and lay Gown be-
fore him in his green pastures. +" He pro-
voked laughter when he said the presi-
dent looked upon congress as his
great ranch'' with the Republicans as
his ''round-ups." Speaking deliber-
ateiy, be declared that any man who
had such profound contempt for the
legislative branch uf the government
was unfit to be it's executive head and
was a dangerous man.
FOR GRosvENoR's ENJOYMENT.
He closed by quoting from "Ameri-
can Ideals" in which Mr.. Roosevelt, be
alleged, had denounced Gen. Gros-
venor by NAM as a champion Of foul
government AID dishonest politics. )"
Then turning to Gen. Grosvenor, he
added: Read that and then read
your recent speech defending the presi-
dent and tell the house that you feel
ike 80 cents"
Gen. Grosvenor admitted that .our
years ago he opposed the nomination
If Mr.. Roosevelt for vice president,
out said Mr. Roosevelt during the
campaign had conducted himself in
ligniied manner and had won the
confidence and esteem Of the people
oy his acts from the time be was
elected to preside over the senate and
that he reached the supreme heights
when he declared at Buffalo that be
would carry out the policies of Nc
Ninley. Since thea the president had
,rown to be one of the great men Of
;he country. The president, he said,
vas more dangerous to the Democratic
party than any other man today. The
