ROOSEVELT A WINNER
NAMED FOR CHAIRMAN OVER
SHERMAN, 568 TO 443.
E~x-President Hits corruption-Grubef
Brands Roosevelt a Hip Pocket
Statesman.

Saratoga, N. Y.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt rode today on the top wave
Of victory, defeating Vice-President
Sherman for temporary chairman OF
the Republican state convention
There were 1,011 votes cast in the
convention, of which Colonel Roose-
welt received 56S and Vice-President
Sherman received 443, thus electing
the leader of the prOgressives by a
majority of 1z5.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke feelingly of
what President Taft had accomplished
in his administration in his speech as
temporary chairman, saying that the
laws passed reflect high credit on all
who succeeded in putting them in
their present shape upon the statute
books. They represent an earnest OF
the achievement which is to come,
and the beneficence and f~ar-reaching
importance of this work done for the
whole people measure the credit
which is rightfully due to congress
and to our able, upright and distin-
guished president, William Howard
Taft.
Colonel Roosevelt bitterly assailed
the "bosses," declaring that the differ
ence between a boss and a leader is
that the leader leads and the boss
drives.
"The difference is that the leader
holds his place by firing the con-
science and appealing to the reason
OF his followers and the boss holds
the place by crooked and underhand
manipulation" he said.
Abraham Gruber of New York, who
had been selected to fire the broad
side of the old guard against Colonel
Roosevelt's selection, said !:
Twelve years ago, on this platform,
I warned a Republican convention
against turning the executive mansion
into a shooting gallery. My advice
was not needed. Since that memora-
BILE day the nan who has ever since
been shooting has seer his party or
g%anization divided in every state, his
party's candidates overwhelmingly de-
feated, business depressed and the in
telligent and honest workingmen with
out employment and hungry.
Looking for other fields for shoot
ing practice, this man is now shooting
at the courts and its judges. Himself
posing as a lawyer who never had a
case or drew a brief, he now finds
sport in holding up the courts and
judges to the scorn of the mob. But
this is not a new symptom. 1t is an
old disease. This apostle of Der
ringer practice, while he was presf-
dent, abused Judge Humphrey Of the
United States court, a gentleman and
honest man, for rendering a decision
which was made according to the law
and which to this day is u~nreversed.
When the United States appellate
court reversed Judge Lands, the same
shooter, not from the head Of a bar
rel, but from the White House, sancti-
fed by Abraham Lincoln, told the peo-
pie Of the United States that the
judges had been guilty of miscarrying
Justice"
