CHAIRMAN ATTACKS COLONEL
Says Ex-President's Policy is in
Keeping With That of Dan
gerouS Radicals
HARMONY AT MICHIGAN MEET

Saratago, N. Y, Sept 25.-An at
tack on Roosevelt and the policies of
the Progressive party I'm the nation
and state. marked the address of tenn
porary Chairman Guthrie today i'm the
Republican state convention.
I'VE see clearly" said Guthrie. that
the Progressive campaign is doomed
to pitiable defeat and that only in its
mad desire to work injury TO the Re
publican party does il continue it's
campaign. Every Republican vote cast
for the Democratic ticket" he declared
will be wasted
Instead of the initiative, referendum
and recall" Guthrie said, what the
country needs is men of high charac-
ter and greater competency in our leg
islatures and Congress.
THE hatred of courts, which the
Progressives share in common with
Socialists, anarchists. Popuists and
that part of organized labor and labor
such men as the McNamaras Debs
and Parks (who in truth shamefully
nlisrepresent the great majority of
law-abiding patriotic members of
these organizations.)" he said, had
forced into this campaign an unjust
attack upon our judicial system and
administration of justice. And | re-
gret to have to say no man has done
more for men of this hatred Of the
judiciary than ex-President Roose-
velt."
state issues figured only briefly in
The chairman's address Almost the
only reference Guthrie made to the
Democratic presidential candidate was
i'm discussion of the tariff. Wilson
is now telling the people the chair
man said. that the tarin is solidly
responsible for the high cost Of living
and the prevalence of social unrest
and discomfort This is not true. Such
phenomena Is world wide, and exists
abroad as much, If not more than
here"
