Former Governor Odell Thus
Cartoons Governor Higgins
and President Roosevelt.
DIV Associated press.)

NEW YORK, December 2s.-Formcr
Governor Odell chairman Of the Repub-
lican State Committee, made statement
tonight concerning the contest for the
speakership Of the Assembly in which he
is backing Il. A. Merritt, Jr, against j.
w. Wadsworth, Jr., who has the support
OF Governor Higgins. Mr.. Odell said
'"rhc gentleman UP at Albany who is
doing SO much yelling just now has had
some starch injected into his backbone
by Roosevelt He never had any before.
When you hear him talk these days, the
voice is tho voice of jacob Higgins, but
the hand is the hand of Esau Roose-
welt. Few persons are DECEIVED by the
talk about Roosevelt not interfering in
politics in this way in any other States.
1t Is entirely clear Roosevelt Is back Of
Higgins in this speakership contest, and
so-callcd inspired denials do not count"
Is the report true that you will have
something to say about the collection of
compaign funds by Mr.. Corteyou last
year?" Mr.. Odell was asked.
Before this fight is over I may have
a good deal to say about this and other
matters of interest including the Depew-
Black race for the United States SEN
ate. 1t Is altogether probable that will
contribute something to political lltera-
ture in the near future-some chapters
that may interest people,"
