A sensational and bitter at
tack was made on President
Roosevelt in the House of Rep
representatives Monday by Mr..
Willett, of New York, his de-
nunciation being so vehement
that it seemed as if he raked the
dictionary for words which would
properly express his feelings.
The President was characterized
as "gargoyle, tyrant, pigmy de.
scendant of Dutch trades-people,
hay-tedder, fountain of billings.
gate, popularity imitation of a
king, and bogus hero" His re.
marks were cut short by a vott
of the House that it would heal
no more of them, but not before
he had almost finished what he
had to say.
