Charges Most Vigorous

Making his general charges in most
vigorous terms. Senator Stone then
dramatically marshalled his witness
Senator Penrose came first; then
Chairman Wilcox of the Republican
national committee, and lastly the
star Witness" Colonel Roosevelt,
whom Senator Stone denounced as
the most seditious man of conse-
quence in America"
Despite several conferences with
other leaders, who were apprehensive
of partisan address at this time, the
Missouri senator delivered his speech
with characteristic emphasis and ges-
lures and the Republicans openly pre-
pared to meet the onslaught.
When Senator Stone declared Colon
e Roosevelt apparently could say
things which less important persons
might say only by subjecting them
selves to arrest, Senator Penrose in
terrupted him with words tumbling
out, demanding:
docs the senator advance the extraor-
binary doctrine that every citizen hasn',
the right to say what he thinks of Mr..
Wilson without going to Jail? Does he
say that citizens haven't the right to say
that Mr.. Wilson surrounds himself with
persons so incompetent that the war pro-
gram has been seriously delayed or that
he hides himself away inaccessibly?"
Il did not say that: l will explain"
Senator Stone replied calmly.

Penrose retorted.
