N OF judicial decisions by popular vote,
as proposed by ex-Presldent Roose-
welt in his Columbus address last
\ week, was denounced in the. senate
today by Senator Raynor of Mary
land as "the most dangerous doctrine
ever brought forward by any one
who has the slightest regard for the
stability of our institutions and
whose opinion is entitled to any
weight or respect
Senator Raynor declared that in
discussing the ex-president, VINO
again is a candidate for the republi-
can nomination for president, she did
not speak as partisan, because he
believed the republicans could nom
mate no man who would be easier to
defeat. N8
I'm this address of the ex-presi-
dent" said the senator, there are a
number of suggestions with which ]
entirely agree. What desire 70 call
attention to today is 4 unique and
original conception which he aa-
vanced upon this occasion and which
quote literally as follows:
Cites Parts Of Speech.
THE decision of o state court on
n constitutional Question should be
subject to revision by the people OF
the state.
IF any considerable number oil
the people feel that the decision Is
In defiance OF justice, they should be

United States. .,.-...
Mr.. President, If proposition o.
this sort had been advanced by ar
ordinary agitator or by an anarchis
no attention would be Paid to 1t
the people would understand tina
it was utterly meaningless, and i
would involve no actual danger t.
the republic. We must realize, how
ever, that this is the utterance of
political leader who occupies toda,
as prominent place before the pub
lie as any one in the country, VIII
Is gifted with tremendous power
who commands great popularit,
and who for seven years occupied
the position OF the president of tn
United States and who is now can
didate for the office.
Cannot Accept Apologies.
II would like to accept the apol
ogy that has been offered for him b
one Of the leading papers of tn
country when it says;
1--WE, shall pay Mr.. Roosevelt tn
compliment of stating that we d
not think that he believes word Q
the nonsense he uttered in thi
speech tt@
~
but cannot do so.
people who regard this merel
as fiippant and impulsive utter
anee Of a candidate for public Of
flee, who Is trying to attract publ
favor are making a great mistake.
my Judgment, the ex-president ha
been rejecting over this propositio
for years and contrary to his usus
custom 1t is the result OF profoun
study and investigation upon HI
part OF 1.-the judicial history OF tn
country. He has always been hos
tile to the decisions Of the cour
whenever they conflicted with h
own views and he has over and ovt
again,Nin private and in public, gi'
en- expression to his opposition
them. s ,
Would Have influence.
=, Now, there is a motive for a
this, and there is cause for this a
tack upon the institutions OF IL
land. It arises from the fact til,
