Attorney General Gregory said:
"The partisan issue was injected into
the approaching election by men who
are admittedly the leaders of the Re-
publican party.
"The President is regarded by the
world as its most influential citizen
and by our allies as their chief spokes-
man. Nevertheless, Colonel Roosevelt,
the accepted unofficial leader of the
Republican party in the United States,
has by every means in his power
sought to destroy the confidence re-
posed by the people in the President
and to weaken the authority with which
the latter is clothed. IN more subtle
way the leader of the Republican party
IN the Senate has pursued the same
course.
