LITTLETON ASSALS @T. Rg
Says Taft Probably Awaits Place In
"Hall OF Tnfamy."

New York, Oct 25.-A new turn was
given to the attack on Colonel Roose
welt and his New Nationalism by Mar
tin w. Littleton, Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Oyster Bay dis.
trict, In an address tonight at Car
negie Hall.
The New Nationalism, he said, has
its source In the abiding disrespect
MIR. Roosevelt has constantly showr
toward ''our form of republic" which
has caused him to show dissatisfaction
with the public men OF this country
an we'll ag its institutions.
Citing criticisms passed upon for.
mer Presidents by Colonel Roosevelt
Mr.. Littleton added that apparently
another Executive, and that one OF
MFR. Roosevelt's own creation, is prob.
ably awaiting his place in this hal
or infamy"
He (Roosevelt) has not yet com.
pleted his system of mediocrity," con.
tinued Mr.. Littleton. He has not
concluded his catalogue OF incompe.
tents, but there seems to be another
president scheduled to fall under his
condemnation.
And this President, NhO is await
ing, no doubt, his place lin this hall OIL
infamy, is one that Mr.. Roosevelt him
self created. 1t is a pathetic picture
OF broken friendship; IL In sad com.
mentary upon the stability of political
alliances to see patient, a just, ear
nest, plain and rugged judge, who &C.
cupies the position OF President, al
most crowded out of his place and ex-
cluded from the prerogative Of his
Office by a man who continues tc
reign wherever and with whomgoever
he may be.
rs it any wonder, then, that he
breaches New Nationalism ? Need
one be surprised ut this strange doc
trine ? Having got his view respect
ing eight of the Presidents Of the
United States and having surmised
his attitude toward a. ninth, need we
be surprised that he finds no difficulty
in urging a radical, change in the
structure Of the Governments
change which In the strangest mix
ture of socialism and empire; most
unique union of despotism and dis
order.
"The vast region of Mr.. Roosevelt'f
political economy he has peopled with
a law-made race Of men and women
who grope their way about in the very
fog of diffuse and unrelated power
In the wide range of his active mind
he has never encountered structure
of authority which he would not
change; a form of government which
he would not alter; society which
he would not transform. In the long
reach of his ample and enriched years
he has never met with philosopher
whom he would not advise; teacher
whom he would not instruct; soldier
whom he would not command; king
whose sceptre he would not yield; q
book which he would not rewrite; q
religion which he would not reorgan-
ize; a civilization which he would not
reconstruct.
I'm government bound by no law;
in life bound by no policy; in inter
course bound by NO attachment; In
debate bound by no record; in society
bound by no conventions; in conduct
bound by notradition; in attack bound
by no strategy; i'm retreat bound by
NO order: in ambition bound by nc
limit, he towers today the embodi.
ment OF conscious and unconstrained
power. He is the final, conclusive
and dogmatic answer to the riddles OF
the universe"
