Representative WiIIett Of
New York Makes a
Bitter Attack
BUT DOES NOT FINISH
House Thrown in Uproar---
Denied Floor by a Strict
Iy Party Vote.

Washington, Jan. 1S-Characterizing
President Roosevelt as gargoyle and
as this pigmy descendant of Dutch
trades people," and charging him with
having established a court in the
White house which would have delight
ed the heart of his admired Alexander
Hamilton" Willett of New York in the
house today made one of the most bit
ter attacks on the chief executive ever
heard in that body.
Willett took for his theme "The
Passing of Roosevelt" and in speech
of great length dealt with numerous
of the presidents acts since he came
into office and scathingly denounced
them After declaring that in the face
of all sorts of conditions Americans
were possessed of universal sense OF
humor Willett said that to such peo-
pie sit must be confessed, the chief
magistrate, who has himself no sense
of humor. is moving like horse ted
der over the bayfield, of American ac-
tivities; stirring up every drying blade
of once green grass, to let it fall drier
than BEFORE" quarreling one day with
practical politicians, and then with the
r-hair-in-the-middle reformers,
then with socialists, and then with the
great industrial corporations; wrest-
ling in agony of spirit with Noah Web
ster and our glorious English tongue:
taking a fall out of the nature takers
and exhorting our women to avoid race
suicide, cannot be an unmiXed nuis
ance.
Always Good to Laugh At.
"He tries out the patience, but he
is always good to laugh at Thanh
heaven for the things that make us
laugh"
Wiliett gave a brief biography Of
Rooseyelt's life, beginning with his ex
perience as a cowboy down TO the pres
ent time, accused him, in his early
manhood, of having had preposterou!
notions, of having "knifed" Secretar,
Long, Oh DelnS a warrior dlOIie Ill
Cuba" of having won the governorshil
of New York by a mere "fuke" whe,
the false halo of San Juan hill wa
above his head; of being the benefi
ciary of assassins, and the last AM
crowning piece of luck, the nomine
for president, when all the aggressive
elements of other parties wanted t.
see their own candidates defeated
Mammoth jocularity has to laugh wit
every appearance; Gargoyle has bee
funny from the hour it left it's nativ
quarry"
In conclusion Willett severely crit
cised and denounced many of the pre-!
ident's acts.
