SHARP CRITICISM is ClTEr

New York, Aug. 3o.-president
Roosevelt has been placed on the
stump, not by the Republicans VIII
are working for him, but by the Dem
ocrats who are fighting him. Of course.
the Democrats have been unable to
GET the president TO go about the
country delivering speeches. But as
The next best thing as t,.ev view it,
they are going to send extracts from
his books and speeches broadcast over
the land and let the people read what
he has sad.
The frsl pamphlet oi a sesie,s -
~aatain the presidents s;qvi=les hes
~ issued bY the litcta 9Hraan ot
the Democratic national committee,
which has eulleA a collection Of
"3ooseyeltieismss from the works and
public addresses of the author of "Thn
Winning OF the West.
Cr tic OF the Presi nts.
From the books of MIR. Roosevelt
alone the compiler has been rewarded
for his research by the discovery that
Mr.. Roosevelt in the past has written
disparaging things of all the former
presidents Of the United States, from
jefferson to Lincoln with the sole
exception of John Quincy Adams. His
characterizaiions of his predecessors
in the exalted office of chief magis-
trate Of the nation range all the way
from the most incapable executive
who ever filled the presidents chair
said of Jefferson, to "small politician
of low capacity and mean surround
Jugs. applied to Franklin Pierce.
Nor is this all. Two pages of the
pamphlet are filled with quotations
from the presidents book and speech
es carrying reflections upon his fel-
low citizens. If the extracts are au
thentic, and they are youched for by
the national committee, the president
has at times referred to members OF
congress as cattle" to Quakcrs as
professional nOncombatants and un-
desirable c;tiZens,' and to mechanics
and worlmen of the great cities as
mot to be mentioned in the same
breath with cowboys.
The pamphlet is entitled "N hat
Roosevelt Says" and begins with this
quotation from his Life Of Cromwell ="
given as "the keynote of his policy"
