 with unusually careful deliberation. and with an effort to do nothing more
 or less than complete justice to all
 concerned. Indeed, I am haunted by | a suspicion that the president was more careful to ascertain the facts and to kep within the limits of the law because the offenders were colored
 than would have been the case had they been white"
 Mir. Carmack then turned his atten- i tion to MT. Foraker's criticism of
 Major Blocksom, and declared that | the senator from Ohio may be Ged Almighty in the Republican party of Ohio, but not of the universe" 'T can remember with what frantic ! energy he used to wave the bloody 1 shirt, the shirt dyed with the crimson | current of his own rhetoric. re- member how he used to go raging over the land, bifurcated, periptetic vol cano in peennial eruption, bleching | fire and smoke and melted lava from | agonized, tumultuous bowels can see how in public speeches he spat- ] tered the ga1f Of bitterness upon the south until came to think the senator wished all the white people of the | south had but single neck, that he | might sever it at a blow. I would not have to go back forty years, or make any inquiry into the senator's | pedigree to prove that the senator ] from Ohio is the last man to sit in | judgment in a case of murder where a negro was the murderer and ] h.ar hn wiz
 But I will not do the senaBr such 1 gross injustice as to judge his heart | by the testimony of his own mouth, | and when my southern friends ask me | If the senator from Ohio is really as rabid and bitter as he seems, tell | them no; that his ferocity is purely oratorical: it is simply the lingering force of tyrannical habit.
 If the senator from Ohio could con | yict the president of the charge he ! has made against him, that of inflict- ing harsh and brutal punishment without authority of law, then" con- l tinued Carmack ''he will have placed | the president on an eminence of in- l fanny from which no man can take | him down."
 
 | MT. Carmack said:
 ! The senator's speech was powerful, | but 1t seemed to me that his premises were upon one side of the earth and l his conclusions on the other. If there is anything that appears plainly ! from that speech it is that these sol diers ought to have been discharged | from the army a long time ago, and the president deserves criticism for ! having delayed so long"
 NIT. Carmack then gave what he regarded as the real purpose of the agitation, characterizing 1t as an at- tempt to "unhorse MT. Roosevelt as the Republican leader" He said: Tt seems to me there is something ! else behind these uncalled for attacks upon the president other than a pas sion for justice and law. This par | ticular act of the president is simply the occasion but not the cause of this violent and concerted attatck on his administration. The president mas done enough in all conscience to alarm every real friend of the constitution, but through it all he has had the united and enthusiastic support of all
 
 Tt is by the best acts of his admin istration that the president has aroused so deadly an antagonism with in his own party. He might have continued to trample on the law to the end of time, and there would have | been no voice of protest if he had not otherwise offended. The president made the mistake of compelling his | party to break with old-time friends, and to turn it's guns on it's allies of | hundred battles. He has brought great railroads and trusts to know ! there is such a thing as a government. | His party leaders yielded a snarling and reluctant halfway obedience to his will, biding time and opportunity to strike"
 Declaring this to be the beginning of a fight to break the power of the only leader the Republican party who i ever arrayed it against the enemies of | the people, MT. Carmack said: 1 Tt is an effort to put the party | back in it's old position, to renew old l alliances to make peace with it's old | time friends to renew the covenant as l plunderers and oppressors of the ! American people. All the resources ! of the gentleman in the White House
 cannot stay the inevitable. He has attempted the impossible task of re- creating the Republican party"
 He told the Republican senators that they must make a choice of the alternative: Either renominate Roosevelt or give us back our plat form"
 He declared that the sentiment which the president had helped to arouse against the plutocracy will
 bring millions of votes to the Demo cratic party, and eff President Roose- welt himself chooses to come he will find ample opportunity to exercise his influence for the welfare of the peo- | pie, and learn some respect for the | law and constitution"
 ! Senator Stone followed, and ex- 1 pressed his disappointment that what had at the outset promised to be | real scrap'' was to melt away to a myth. The sting had been taken out
