PENROSE POINTS TO 1904.
He Replies to Roosevelt by Produce
Ing n Letter.

PrrrsBuRG, June Ex-senator Boies
Penrose, who IL in this city, promptly is
sued reply to Col. Roosevelts speech
tonight.
cit is difficult for me to determine Just
when Mr.. Roosevelt reached the conclu-
sion to which he referred II certainly was
not in 1904 when the returns from Penn
sylyania In the Presidential election In
that year was sent to him by me as
chairman of the Republican State com
mittee," Senator P@nrose says. in his
statement The Senator then made public
the following letter he says he received
from Mr. Roosevelt at that time:
My DEAR SENATOR PENRosE: Upon
my word. of all phenomenal returns.
the returns from Pennsylvania are
most phenomenal | congratulate you
and cordially thank you. Faithfully
yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT
In discussing the last Republican Ma
tional Convention the Penrose statement
says:
"Mr. Roosevelt at no time had a ma
iority OF the convention
penrose charges that Roosevelt forced
the nomination OF Taft in 1905 by methods
much worse than those Roosevelt con-
demned in 1912.

"BALDERDASH." SAYS BARNES.
RooseveIt's speech Is Called Ludi-
crous and Illogical.

william Barnes thinks Col Isoosevelt's
speech at Pittsburg last night was bal
derdash" Parts of IL struck him as
ludicrous. Mr.. Barnes says that In effect
the Colonel served notic7 that II he Is
reelected President he will try to "es-
tablish In this country an absolute autoc-
racy and to supersede the law by his
fiat"
The Republican State chairman thus
analysed the speech. after reading an adj
vance copy which came to him as editor
OF the Albany Journal:
when Mr. Roosevelt advanced at Co
lumbus. in February. 1912, the doctrine
known as the recall OF judicial decisions.
TO which no reference is made In his
Plttsburg speech. advocating that the In
dividual liberty of each American citizen
should be no longer protected as right
under the Constitution. but become grant
subject to the favor OF the electorate.
"A storm of protest arose against his
unjustiiiable attack upon the liberties OF
the American people.
His speech last night. illogical as II
is. discloses. nevertheless. the same mental
Sian, which advocated the recall of judi
clal decisions. that should and will make
him a cipher in American political life.
His contention that the Republican party
and not he is responsible for the Admin
is:ration at Washington is ludicrous, as
1t IL al this time unimportant
There is one thing which every man
who IL worth anything wants-that is
understanding The character OF a nation
depends upon the understanding OF us
people The man who will accept such
balderdash as Mr.. Roosevelt proposes
should examine his own mental equip
ment and put II back In working order.
II is the only thing which he has that
separates him from the beast II is a
priceless heritage which has come down
to him through generations OF develop
ment. He should cherish, not abuse IL
