ROOSEVELT IS DE V0U CED
 BITTER WORDS


 that memorial day the man who has ever since been shooting has seen his party organization divided in every state, his ,pArty's candidates over whelning1y defeated, business depres- ! sed, and the intelligent and honest workingman without employment and hungry.
 Looking for other fields for. shoot ing practice, this man is now shooting | at the courts and its judges. This apostle of Derringer practice, while he was President, abused Judge Humphrey of the United States Court a gentlemaN and honest man, for rem l dering a decision which was made this day is unrevised When the Uni ted States Appellate court reversed Judge Landis' the same shooter, not from the head of a barrel. but from the Waite House. sanctihed by Abra- ham Lincoln, told the people of the United States that the Judges . had been guilty of niscarrying justice. : When Haywood and Mover were on trial for their lives this same shoot CT with all the power of the Presi- dent of the United States, sought to influence the jury by holding up these leaders of labor as undesirable citi- zens. Man may under the spell Of a first intoxication speak words that in when a man offends and again of fends, and keeps on offending, he must be considered an habitual s1anderer, Lincoln and l. Taft and T both ola
  should have been Bryan and I, Hearst and l.
 s'when given power to. shoot the trusts he drew a line between the good ones and the bad ones. The steel and sugar trusts were the good ones, those which would help along

 Every generation gives opportunity to the patriotic and brave to keep our ship of state headed in the right di- rection. Some of us may now join in the great fight, begun in this con vention, to prevent a third term. or something worse
 When he began his vitriolic as sault on Roosevelt, the Roosevelt fol- lowing hissed him repeatedly.
 Gruber started a, real row with his speech and there was an exchange of missing and eat callings which was unparalleled in the history of the Re publicans of New York State.
 Delegates were cursing each other in nonotones and it would have taken very tile to have started a full fledged riot Finally Roosevelt at tempted to regain order. Leaping to his feet with hand upraised,s his teeth glistening and his face aflane,s he cried:
 "Gentlemen, keep quiet. Let him talk. Each side should have a chance to express it's opinion without outside molestation. Give him a square deal, they must have it.
 There was a little better order as the result of Rooseve1t's interference Roosevelt was warmly defended by Comptroller Prendergast of New York. who repudiated the suggestion that Roosevelt is playing for the President | ial nomination in 1912. Comptrollers Prendergast of New York, took the platform and impas- sioned1y defended Roosevelt. ''I congratulate MT. Roosevelt on MT. Gruber's speech he said, and the crowd went wild. 'I know of noth- ing better calculated to describe the line Of difference between Colonel Roosevelt's friends and his opponents than MT. Gruber has explained to you.
 Friends of MT. Taft had no right to fear that his administration would suffer through the friends of Colonel Roosevelt MT. Taft might be appre- hensive of what was to happen in this State with the party in control of woodruff and his friends. .'sWe have heard Colonel Roosevelt compared to Colonel Bryan today. The difference is Colonel Bryan at tracts great crowds and can never be elected, while Colonel Roosevelt at 1 tracts great crowds and is always | elected.
 "It is absolutely unfair to say that ! this movement has for it's object the | nomination of any particular man in 1912 That will be the business of the National Republican convention"
 without fheI1os1i auarter on the oid Guard and the New York State Committee, is declared in a statement issued by day as result of last nights com mittee meeting The Colonel attacks the committee for it's endorsTk1ent of | Vice-President Sherman and~for it's no fraud or deceit in the original se- lection of Sherman as temporary char man of the state convention. The Colonel said:
 '1The conduct of the majority of the state committee last evening puts in the clearest light what this contest really is. The statement of Messrs- Griscom, Gruelwitch, Cracke, Wana- maker and Henkel, proves conclusive Iy the trickery that was used in the | effort to win a majority and keep 1 the control of the men who have dis credited it by, their actions.
 There has never been a state con vention to which it was better worth other has the issue been so clearly | drawn between cleanliness and hon esty in politics and honesty in public life and that peculiar baseness in kfhe very word politician obnoxious to f4he people.
