in the Presbyterian church corner OF

SOCIALIST SCORES ROOSEVELT.
Englishman Says Colonel Has Stirred
Up Hatred Among Masses.

John Spargo, socialist leader of London
criticised Theodore Roosevelt last night
in an address before a large audience at
Pythian Temple. Mr. Spargo, who is a
member of the executive committee of
the socialist party of England, declared
that the ex-President, through his at
tacks on people in power, had stirred up
a spirit of individual hatred in the masses
which blinded them to the doctrines of
true socialism.
Probably no one has done more to
stimulate opposition TO socialistic princi
pies and socialists than the eX-Presiden,
of this country said Mr.. Spargo. There
is no doubt that his position enabled him
to incite u prejudice against party
which has done us and our lofty ideals
great harm. This he has done by asitat-
ing personal hatred of certain men il
power
Mr.. Sparso pointed out that with the
election of Victor Berger of Milwaukee,
to the House of Representatives i'm this
country and Pablo Jslesias TO the Span
ish parliament, socialism had gained q
foOthoid. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the District of Columbia
