In A speech marked by fiery inVeclive
aud strong epithet Mr.. Willett in the
House yesterday attacked President
Roosevelt 10 a manner as scathiDg as
was ever heard 10 that body. He was
taken from the foor by unanimous
vote OF the republican side but not be-
fore he had held Mr.. Roosevelt up 10
his true light and shown to the Amer
lean people what manner of man their
president is. 10 the older and better
days no president Of the United ) a.es
would have been so publicly abused, for
abuse It was, but Mr.. Roosevelt has
brought this upon himself and has re-
psatedly put himself 10 a position to be
attacked and Justly attacked. Mr.. vii.
lett made the republican members Of the
House 90 uncomfortable that from the
time he began bis speech they tried to
suppress him and only succeeded by vot-
Ina solidIy to lake him from his feet.
For years Mr.. Roosevelt has been at.
tacklng every one with whom he differed
In thought or action, hardly one Of the
former presidents escaping his vittOI,
while public men Of his own day and
generation be has held up to unjust
scorn and derisiOn, presuming on bis own
position in 90 doing. Yesterday Mr..
Willett turned battery upon the pass
iug president and riddled him, He gave
Q brief biography Of Mr.. RoosevelPs
life, beginning with his experiences as
q cowboy, down to the present time, and
accused him, 10 his early manhood of
having tad preposterous notions, of hav.
log "knifed" Secretary Long, Of being
"s warrior slone in Oubs," Of having
won the governOr'hip of New York by
mere fake "when the false halo of San
Jusn Hill was above his head; the beu-
eHciary of assassination; and, last sud
browning piece Of luck, the nominee

mepts Of the opposition wanted to see
their own candidate deieaed. The
Msmuoth Joculsrity has got laugh
with every appearance; the Glrgoyle hiss

tive quarry" Qlsrreling one day with
the practical politician, then with the

then with the socialists, then with the
great industrial corporations, wrestling
10 sgony of spirit with Noah Webster
