He contrasted Hamilton with President Roosevelt, and speaking of him as an mperialist, said that the imperial ism of Hamilton had no semblance ito the imperialism of Roosevelt These two characters hold only this in common" he said, "and that is their profound con tempt for the constitution, and everlasting impatience of it's restraints Roosevelt he declared, was dominated by glamor and intoxicated by applause, while Ham ilton from early babyhood dreamed of power.
