The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-04-12

between William Barnes an dCol.
Theodore Roosevelt THAT began in
1910 over the Republican guberna-
torial nomination and has continued
/ with increasing bitterness on both
sides ever since is not going to be
patched up this year. Mr.. Barnes en-
phasized that fact yesterday when he
| issued a statement denying there was
| any truth in report printed in Mon
day mornings newspapers from Bos-
ton that at recent Harvard dinner
| he, Barnes, had stated there was
possibility of the Colonel obtaining
| the Republican Presidential nomina-
| ton this year, and that he would be
prepared to support him for election.
Mr.. Barnes limited that there was a
connection between the appearance of
this story from Boston and Mr.. Roose-
velt's arrival in that city. The very
| idea of his recognizing the likelihood
of the ColoneIs nomination and that
he would support him in this event,
/ Mr.. Barnes described as a characters
tic SANDER upon his knowledge of po-
litica1 conditions as well as upon his
character. He went still further and
| made this comment upon the Colonel:
/ .'Mr. Roosevelt is an enemy Of the
American Republic and the most per-
nicious influence in this country upon
the public rnind-not even excepting
/ Mr.. Bryan"
Il t.
guise that he was in a savage state OF
mind when he summoned reporters to
/ his ONCE, 20 East Forty-eighth street,
Monday afternoon. Whether he-was
still srnarting under the defeat he ex-
lperienced on Saturday as q, result of
the reelection of State Chairman
Frederick c. Tanner over Mr.. Barnes
/ candidate, Senator Charles w. Wicks,
could not be determined, as the one
1 matter that seemed uppermost in his
1 mind was the Boston story that he
had opened his heart to his Harvard
classmates and had told them he
| would support his old enemy
Mr.. Barnes would not discuss the
story; everything he had to say about
it, he said, was covered in the state
lment The statement dealt not only
| with the published story, but with
Mr. Barnes general opinion of the
Colonel.
Calls T. r. Pernicious influence
/ This is the statement:
This year the periodical candi-
dacy of Mr.. Roosevelt for Presi-
dent of the United States is based
upon Gam ericanisIn,' and such
i spotadic support as he is receV-
ing comes from his declaration
in behalf of proper national de-
fehse.
3, Mr.. Roosevelt is not response
BILE for any natural phenomenon,
nor has he a patent on the obvi-
Gus. That this country should
be properly oe1enoeo--aass Il y NO.
s. defended now-is not open to de-
bate.
