 such leadership? And yet it is exactly the plan Roosevelt pursued when President. It is the Roose- welt way. He supported Lodge for United States senator two years ago, and Crane for United States senator four years ago, He has always played this kind of a poli- tical game.
 "It is characteristic of Roosevelt that while he seizes upon issues that make good propaganda, and gives them publicity, he has not the patience nor stability nor depth of conviction to prevent his sacri- fcing essential principles and per manent results to personal advan- tage. It was this that made his administration as President, al- though a time of reform agitation, barren of constructive legislation and a period for growth of evils that might have been avoided under wiser leadership.
 "The third party movement promises to illumine this inherent weakness of Roosevelt as has no other phase of his political career. He completely dominates its pol icy, and the real significance of his tactics is revealed as it could not be in the more complex political situations in which he has been a conspicuous figure"
 The Wisconsin senator concludes his discussion by quoting cores pondence between Col. Roosevelt and Wallace Batcbelder, of Yer mont, former Rough Rider, who supported the colonel in his primary fight for national delegates. On July 20 the colonel wired Batchelder:
 "We cannot indorse any can didate of either party who will not support Roosevelt electors in the coming election. l depend on you for your support in this matter" l"
 Following is part of BatcheIder's reply:
 II supposed that l was fighting for the real rule of the people and against bosses and bossism. Your telegram makes it plain that you direct me, and men in every State, that we must not vote for any can didate for office, no matter how honest, able, efficient, or progressive he may be, unless that candidate will agree to pay for our votes by Roosevelt electors. With grief, the depth of which you cannot know, l have decided, after one of the hardest fights 1 have ever been forced to put up, that 1 cannot longer support you for President of the United States."

TURNS GUNS ONT. R.
IpFolIette Out Against "Bull Moose"
 Tactics.

Using as an example the case of Judge E. B. Dillon, of Columbus, who recently withdrew from the Ohio Republican ticket as candi- date for governor, Senator LaFol- lette is out in this weeks issue of his publication in scathing attack on Col. Roosevelt's tactics. His onslaught leaves no doubt what ever that from this time on in the campaign the senator's voice will be raised for war on the bull moose candidate.
 Senator LaFollette asserts that How do you stand on Me2" is Roosevelts sole test disqualification for a progressive He charges that the colonel himself is adopting boss methods through threats of coercion of candidates for office and threat ems to beat senators, representa- tives, governors, sheriffs, and coro- ners, unless they declare for him" In proof, LaFollette cites the case of Judge Dillon.
 "LCyalty to progressive prin- ciples," he says, "has nothing to do with the matter. In Ohio, Judge K. B. Dillon was nominated on the republican ticket for governor. Dillon was enough of a progressive to be acceptable to progressives and was assured that no opposition would be made by them to his can didacy. Upon this understanding he accepted the nomination. But Roosevelt thereafter demanded that Dillon declare for him (Roose- velt) or face the opposition of a second candidate. Dillon very properly refused, and, unwilling to take the chances of defeat, with drew as a candidate"
 Then the senator depicts the sober side of the proposition. He proceeds:
 "Gov. Deneen of Illinois was not asked by Roosevelt's agent how he would stand as to Lorimer's suc- cessor-a matter of grave import ance to the whole nation; or whether he would support Pro- gressive State program. The Illi- nois representatives were not catechised as to their position on national legislation. But they are plainly given to understand-and some of them are the most pro- nounced reactionaries in public life-that if they declare for Roose- welt they will be aided, or at least will not be opposed, by Roosevelt. That is the meaning of the tele- gram which each one has received from Roosevelt's managers in Illi- nois.
 "If Cannon and Mckinley, fright ened at the sight of the big stick, should promise to come out for the Roosevelt party, they would have no Progressive opponents in their districts. On the other hand, Hadley, of Missouri, and Borah, of Idaho, neither of whom will go into the Roosevelt party, are to be punished by having Roosevelt tickets put up against them in their States"
 The senator apparently warmed up as he wrote, for next he says:
 "'How do you stand, on me?' is Roosevelt's sole test of qualification for Progress. e. Imagine Con gress elected on this basis. Of course, it would be reactionary. Roosevelt is not concerned about

MERELY HISTORY
Are the Circuit Courts Now
All Over the United
States.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. l.
Throughout the United States Sunday
marked the passing out of, existence
of the various federal circuit courts,
tribunals as old as the nation, and
more prominent in the early days Of
the republic than the supreme court
itself.
The new judiciary code, which went
into effect today, provides for the alb
clifton OF the circuit courts. In the
main the business of the circuit courts
will be transferred to the federal dis
trict courts and the judges Of the cir
cult court of appeals.
