Compliment to Roosevelt by

ALBANY N. Y, February 16.-Wil-
liam Barnes, jr., chairman of the re-
publican state committee. speaking late
last night at the fifteenth annual dinner
of the Albany County Republican Organi-
cation, had this to say Of Theodore
Roosevelt:
mo greater error could be committed at
this time, in the interest Of the very prin-
ciples to which we adhere. than to revile
or uphold any man, deluded though he
may be in his endeavor to break down
those fundamental principles of individual
liberty ana constitutional rights whichform
the foundation of our government. and
which must be the reality Of the republican
party. because, for a few hours, or days
or weeks, he whom we have honored and
votes has strayed through devotion to
false gods from the real principles OF the
republican party.
