Who Are The Party?

| 1t would be interesting to have some
of the standpat organs which SO loudly
assert that Roosevelt has done nothing
| for the past three months but abuse
the Republican party, print some OF
alleged abuse, so that we may see just
what it is. The public does not call
to mind anything derogatory of the
Republican party the Colonel has
said.
| He has made remarks not entirely
complimentary to some individuals,
who. however, hold no commission to
consider themselves the Republican
party. They have also made remarks
about him, and are therefore open to
the same charge Of abusing the party.
Surely, if individuals may be assumed
to constitute, in their individual per-
sons, the party, an individual who
served one whole term and part OF
another as President by election Of the
party might be as mnch entitled to
the distinction as anybody, especially
anybody with a lower record of service
The Colonel has referred to certain
work in Indiana, with which Mr.. New
was closely associated, as ''political
brigandage,' but outside his own
estimate, Mr.. New is not classed as
the Republican party. Others who
have shown & higher regard for results
than for the will of the rank and file
of the party, have at times come un-
der the lash of his vigorous language,
but they scarcely constitute the party.
Even the President, about whom
at times, the Colonel has said things
much better left unsaid, is not the
