ROOSEVELT ASSAYS
ROLES OF JACKSON
Used Words of Old Hickory
To Attack Foes; Message
Was Attacked
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Jan. 15.- President
Roosevelt's Jackson Day speech is
worth study, as an artistic piece Of
oratory.
There was more to it than appears
at first glance.
1t surprised many folk because, in
comparison with his address to Con-
gress, a few days previously, it was
so free from criticism of his political
and economic opponents.
In his congressional talk the White
House tenant mercilessly lambasted
his own foes. At the Jackson Day
banquet he said scarcely a word con-
corning them, but excoriated the in
terests which fought Old Hickory a
century ago.
GOSSIP
Inside gossip is that the executive
mansion got none too favorable a re-
action to the congressional speech.
The official account is that the
President received hundreds of mes
sages, commenting on it, and that all
but a handful were commendatOry.

United States Supreme Court has just

This principle has been insisted up
