INSURGENCY
IS QUAR7ERED
John Hays Hammond Divides the
Insurgents Into Four Parts
and Describes Each
Part.
NOT COMPLIMENTARY
Calamity Howlers Come First and
Were Merely Masaueradins In
der Clothes Of Re-
publicans.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug 20
Calamity Howlers, Unintelligent In
tellectuals' were some of the terms
applied to the insurgents of the re-
publican party by John Hays Ham
mond in speech at the picnic of Ohio
republican clubs in local amusement
park this afternoon.
Hammond, who as president of the
National League Of Republican Clubs,
went to the last national republican
convention at Chicago with vice pres
idential aspirations, has since been
one of the most constant personal and
political associates of President Taft,
both in Washington and at Beverly.
To newspaper men, just before his
address, Hammond admitted that he
had come direct from the golf links
at Beverly and took occasion to deny
positively that President Taft had TAX
en- any hand in the New York state
politician squabble. The report that
such action on the part OF the presi-
dent was responsible for the present
breach between Taft and Roosevelt,
he characterized as Absurd and Who'll
ly preposterous.
In his address, Hammond said, Il .et
me analyze insurgency by differentiat-
ing the varieties of insurgents. We
may divide the insurgents into four
classes, as follows: First, the Calam-
lily Howlers. These are simon pure
socialists and demagogues. They
have no standing in the republican
party, but masquerade under the re-
spectacle name of republican. The
! calamity howlers aim to create politi-
! cal chaos so that by hook or crook
they may be able to improve their de-
Ipleted political fortune. The republic
can party would consider Itself fortu-
/ nate to get rid of men of this kind.
/ The democrats are heartily welcome
4 to them, especially as Their natural af-
/ fiiiation is with the democratic party.
"The second class may be termed the
unintelligent intellectuals. Men of
| this class are sometimes disrespect-
4 fully alluded to as high brows The
unintelligent intellectuals are ever
ready to suggest how everything
should be done and are better able to
recommend a feasible way how any
thing can be done.
The third class may be styled unct-
uous rectitudists. They are character
:zed by selfrighteousness and base
their independence upon the belief
that all other men are moral delin.
quents.
"The fourth and last class of insur-
gents may be referred 70 as progress
sive republicans, as the difference be
/ tween them and those who call them
selves regulars is too small to admit
of calling them anything but republi
cans. | have a genuine sympathy foi
this class in many OF their conten
tions These men are sincerely de
4 sirous of raising the standard of polit
4 ical morals of the country. They are
opposed to unscrupulous boss domina
i ton. just as you and |, but some o
+ US think they are undertaking to rem
edy these evils by untimely, ineffectu
al and too drastic measures, though
III freely admit that moral suasion al
tonce would not suffice to accomplish
