Of southern supremacy IS not taken seri-

Roosevelt Attacked
by Henry as Advocate
of Real AbSolutism

WASHINGTON, Nov la-Declaring
that Theodore Roose yslt makes Alex
ander Hamilton look like a novice as an
advocate Of absolutism, Representative
Henry Of Texas. chairman OF the house
committee on rules, issued a formal state
nent tonight in answer to the former
presidents views on the trust question In
his recent editorial In tho Outlook.
Mr.. Henry asserts that MIR Roosevelt
through his message" is feeling the
pulse Of the American people for q third
term. that be is trying 10 "discredtt Mr.
Taft and Mr.. Wickarshan," and predicts
that he will "flnd the road TO the prosi-
dency rocky while he Is running for a
third term with the steel trust snugly
sitting astrlde his shoulders"
The democratic congressman, who re-
Gently made public proposed amendments
to the Sherman law, providing that trust
criminals be forced to wear ''feions
stripes" assails MIR. Roosevelt chiefly for
what he terms his advocacy OF 'lesisla-
tive courts" aud Legislative executives" g."
Mr.. Roosevelts attack on the tobacco
trust, MIR. Henry describes as "a terrific
indictment OF the president, Department
Of Justice and circuit court In New York.
1T looks like Mr. Roosevelt is right
here" he continues, land l say lay on
MacDuff "
Charging that the trust commission Is
Mr.. Roosevelts issue, the Texas con
gresham says in conclusions:
This will make him the candidate OF
the steel trust which he defends, and
the advance agent Of the reacuonsries
not the prosressves In my opinion he is
harnessing himself up with the wrong
crowd and on a mighty bad issue,s and
even Mr.. Taft and Mr. wiokersham can
whip him in his party"
