ROOSEVELT THROWS
DOWN GAUNTLET
Boldly Challenges His Political
Opponents to Come Out in
the Open and Fight.

Syracuse, n. Y.-Coming into the
stronghold of opposition, ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt boldly challenged
the opponents of his political doctrines
to come out in the open and fight if
they dared. He prophetically said
that if they did they would be beaten
"The new nationalism," he stated,
means nothing but an application to
new conditions of certain old and fun
damental moraliiies. 1t means an in
vitation to meet the new problems of
the present day in precisely the spirit
in which Lincoln and the men of his
day met their new problems"
The ex-president also gave warm
commendation to President Taft as a
public official and expressed his ap-
proval of several of the accomplish
ments of the Taft administration. Col
onel Roosevelt did not indorse the ad-
ministration as whole. What he did
have to say, however, placed him on
record for the first tine in regard to
many more of the important features
OF it, breaking the silence which he
had maintained steadfastly on the SUD
ject, except for his few brief refer
ences to his successor made when he
was on his western trip.
He also defended his recent criti
cisms of two decisions OF the UniteC
States Supreme Court, made in {
speech in Denver, Colo, and quoted
the words of William H. Taft, writer
when he was judge, to support his
contention that the people have the
right to cTiticise decisions of the court

of the Klamath Indian reservation for
