GROWTH OF DEMAeoeUERY,
Texas Congressman Fears the Repub.
 lie Is Crumbing.

Washington, May 22.-In one of the most remarkable speeches of the pres ent session of congress, Representative Dies of Texas, democrat, assailed ex- President Roosevelt in bitter terms to- day, and referred in almost as bitter a fashion to the leaders of his own par ty, including Speaker Clark and Gov ernor Wilson. The latter he alluded to as "Parson' Wilson. MT. Dies fore saw the crumbling of the republic, the eventual rule Of the mob, and gave as the causes of this the growth of dem agOguery and the influx of ignorant immigrants from southern Europe.
 Tracing the history of Rome, Greece, Italy, France and down to the present day in Mexico, the Texan expressed his fervent hope that history would not repeat itself under Teddy" He prophesied that Colonel Roosevelt, be- cause of his victory in Ohio yester- day, would sweep the country" in the coming presidential campaign.
 You are a pessimist," interrupted someone on the republican side.
 NO, am not a pessimist," shouted MT. Dies. T look only for the worst Out of the jungle comes the lion tanner his hands rocking with blood of wild beasts. Up goes the cry, We want Teddy!' We want Teddyr Not even LaFollette-not even Cummins-is ad- vanced enough. They do not know the meaning of progressivism."
 MT. Dies attributed to ignorance al home and cowardice here," his con- vietion that the republic was goine ahead at the present time more ant more slowly by reason only of its acquired momentum"
 He attacked Speaker Clark and Mir Underwood for their alleged failure tC sustain the old democratic principles In like vein and for the same reason he assailed MT. Mann and Representa- tive Dalzell of Pennsylvania for wha he charged was desertion from theil political faith.
 Berger is the biggest man in thii bunch," he said, referring to the loni socialist member who halls from Wis consin. He is heading toward social ism, while you are backing away an( into it"
