Theodore Roosevelt in a telegram to

extended to e. S. Sheridan, c. O.
Broxon and A. r. Cruzen, who are

Colonel Roosevelt's telegram fol-
lows:
Il am confident that I express the
feelings of every decent American
citizen when I say that l am outraged
and indignant beyond measure at the
infamy that has been perpetrated in
Idaho
In its essence the action of the
court is in the first place to deny to
very large minority, possibly pur-
allty of the voters of Idaho, the right
effectively to express their desire as
to who shall be the chief magistrate
of the nation and in the second place
to punish those who protest against
this denial of justice and thereby seek
to intimidate all men who may here
after desire to protest against similar
outrages.

anything against the courts compara-
BILE in effect to these actions of the
mghest of one of our state courts.
There could be no better proof that
we need in any state the power to
recall judges from the bench when
they act badly and that everywhere
we need to give to the people them
selves the right expedtously to make
their own constitutions and to be in
every act the masters of their own
destinies.
Il have communicated with Senators
Dixon, Borah, Poindexter and Bristow
to ask if something cannot be done
in the United States senate, at any
rate to call attention to the outrage.
Let me know if. there is anything in
which l can be of assistance.
Meanwhile / wish to extend to the
progressives of Idaho and particularly
to the men who have been fined and
sentenced to Jail, not merely my
meartiest sympathy, but my heartiest
admiration.
