ASSAULT ON 7. R. SHOULD NOT Be
USED AS SHIELD To PROTECT HIM
FROM CRITICISM SAYS BRYAN

Indianapolis. Oct. 1S.-Declaring
the attack on Colonel Roosevelt in
Milwaukee should not be used by his
supporters as a shield to protect their
policies from political attacks, VIM.
j. Bryan read a prepared statement
to his large audience during his
speech here Wednesday night to bear
out his assertion.
His statement in part follows:
1--WE are embarrassed in the dis
cussion of national issues by the fact
that one of the presidential candi-
dates has been the victim of a muir
derous assault.
1--WE deplore as deeply as Mr. Roos-
evelt's supporters the act of mad
man. who has temporarily disabled
him for campaign work. We de-
nounce as bitterly as Mr.. Roosevelt S
supporters such a resort to violence
even by one who is bereft of his rea-
son. We sympathize with Mr.. Roose-
welt in his affliction as sincerely as
his supporters do and we wish as ear
nestly as they do for his speedy re-
covery. But neither he nor they will
ask for a suspension of activities on
the part of Mr. Roosevelts opponents
so long as his friends continue to pre-
sent his side of the national issues.
The questions before the country
must be decided by the same. A ma
MAC cannot be factor in such cri-
sis. | am surprised that friends OF
Mr.. Roosevelt should attempt &c
make use of this incident in his be-
half. 1t cannot be charged to the
democratic party; it cannot be fairly
charged to any party.
The suggestion that the assailan
was impelled to make the attack be-
cause of newspaper criticism Is fal
fetched and If it could be shown tha
an unbalanced mind was influenced
| by criticism it is no more just to de
mand suspension of the discussion
of the pending problems on this ac
count than it would be to condemn
religion because some have gone in
sane on that subject.
81 have been a careful reader o
the papers since last June and l an
quite sure that the Taft papers hav
not been more bitter in their assault
upon Mr.. Roosevelt than the Roose
welt papers have been in their as
saults upon Mr.. Taft, and neithe
side has attacked the other with NOR
virulence than both have attacke,
the democrats in campaigns past.

the wound is not serious, but Mr.
Roosevelt's supporters must not use
this attack to protect themselves and
their position from just criticism. The
brave soldiers on battlefield do not
use the wounded for breastworks.
They stand out and give blow for
blow.
And so in this campaign, Mr.
Roosevelt's supporters cannot use
him as shield to protect themselves
against the attacks that may be made
against the policies for which they
stand
Fort Wayne, Ind. Oct. 1S.-Col-
onel VIM. j. Bryan closed his second
days tour through Indiana with an
address here last night in which he
attempted to show why former Pres
ident Roosevelt and Former United
States Senator Beveridge should not
be classed as real progressives:
In speaking of Mr.. Beveridge he
said:
There are three ways to judge Mr..
the length of his service in the cause
of reform; another is by the depth of
his attachment to the reform move
ment and the third is by his attitude
toward other reformers Measured
by any of these tests, neither Mr..
Roosevelt nor Mr. Beveridge deserves
to be counted as a leader or as pro-
gressive If progressiveness stands for
any thing OF real value.
"In point of time they have both
been tardy. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.,
! Beveridge have not only had the
chance of knowing exactly what was
going on but they have been in the
very center and where they could OBJ
serve not only the despoiling of a
people but the corruption of gov
! ernment
Instead of speaking out they have
been worse than silent. They have
been the daily associates and the
bosom friends of beneficiaries of priv
ileges and favoritism."

At first there were angry protests
against the text Then there were
threats. The minister held to his duty.
He held a circuit meeting at Fry's
schoolhouse In the mountains. He laid
especial stress upon his subject. There
were mutterings at the meeting and
faithful parishioners sought to warn
the pastor. He struck out for home
alone in the dusk.
When he reached a lonely pass near
Muddy creek mountain the shower of
stones began. There was no shelter,
so the pastor took his persecution
calmly. After he had been felled the
mountainers used clubs and left him
for dead.

quences. Each attack was from am
bush, the heavy shrubbery along the
mountain roads shielding the assail-
ants.
The last assault was the direct cause
of his death at his home at Ausbury,
Greenbrier county. A heavy stone
crushed his skull and since the attack
his death has been only a matter Of
hours.
The identity of the assailants is in
doubt A parishioner overheard the
threats of rough crowd in front OF
the schoolhouse and may be able to
identify its members If apprehended.
