Martin r. Brush, OF New York. who Is
at the Shoreham. in discussing the de-
feat OF the Republican party in the last
election. said: 1T is not fair TO blame
Roosevelt for everything in connection
with this defeat 1t is a fact that he was
defeated in his own district and the whole
State went against him. That is ancient
history now, and We can't deny il and
won't But how about Ohio? Taft was
not able 20 get himself Endorsed in his
own state. In fact, the Republican
ticket, Taft, and the administration got

Taft was on trial IN his own State, and
he was badly beaten.

Republican party. The fact that insur-

gress at this election. while standpatters
were defeated is proof that the doc

Nothing could have saved the Repub-

stayed in the Wilds of Africa. the de-

Speaking of Roosevelt and his alleged
dictatorship OF the party, Mr. MeCor-
mick said that he is tame in COMPARE
SOD with the methods and tactics en-
ployed by Jackson. who named three of
his successors. Mr. Mccormick said that
there is great similarity in the political
questions which confronted Jackson in
his day and those which now confront
roosevelt. He said that Jaekson's tight
on the United States Bank was similar
TO Roosevelt's fight on the trusts.
