Comments on Roosevelt.
The longest and most interesting Of the
communications was letter from Repre-
sentative Sibley. in which he commented
on various politicians. particularly Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Representative Camp
bell. OF Kansas. Mr.. Sibley referred 10
President Roosevelt as one who was
afraid OF public opinion. for which he
mistook the noise OF the rabble He wrote
Of Representative Campbell that he was
young man without any special char
acteristics who loved notoriety and who
wasn't likely to have a political future.
Some OF tho members OF the committee
had misgtvinGs about placing In the rec
ord communications OF this sort which
had no bearing on the subject OF the In
vestigation. but II was decided that they
were included in the resolution and that
the committee had no authority 10 elm
mate them.
After the letters We're read into the rec
ord the committee held an executive ses-
sion. At its conclusion Chairman Clapp
announced that no further hearings would
be announced at present but that the
committee would meet at his call.
