THE ROOSEVELT RIOT

Denouncing what he terms the iin-
perialistic policy OF the President.
William Morton Grinnell, a promi-
nent republican and nephew of Levi
p. Morton, declares that he will vote
for Judge Parker. He occupies the
same position as Gen. E. A. McAlpin
former treasurer OF the republican
State committee. William G. Choate,
brother of the present ambassa dor
to the Court of St. James; Albert B.
Boardman and other republicans who
are opposed to Roosevelt.
Mr.. Grinnell's grandfather was one
of the members Of the Electoral Col
lege who voted for the first Harrison.
Mr.. Grinnell served under Benjamin
Harrison as Third Assistant Secre-
tary of State. He is practicing law
yer and director of tie Illinois Cen
trail railroad.
my decision" sain NJ. Grinnell
last evening, has been reached after
much thought on this subject. The
President may be all very we'll in his
place, but think that he would do
better as Viking in the ninth cen
tnry than as the ruler of this country.
His acts have gone beyond the bounds
of law, and in many cases he has TO-
mented class and race hatred by his
policies.
"Mr. Roosevelt is given to the in
cessant preaching OF might against
right, of the power which belongs to
the strong, OF the driving of the
weaker to the wall. / consider that
the ideas which he advocates are con-
trary to Christian ethics. What he
advocates continually is atavism, the
brutal doctrine of the survival of the
fttest, the return to the Dark Ages.
"What this country now needs is
an upholder of the law for President.
The United States was always law
abiding nation until three years ago.
Judge Parker is man oiJudicial tenn
permanent. Every patriotic American
at heart prefers the reign of law and
order as against impulse and adven-
ture. Judge Parker will be an uphold
er of the law and the Constitution.
The country has law enough. What
she needs is to have it ressected"
