for tho presidency," Congressman
Hodonburg of Illinois 'discussed lit
tho houso today the writings of tho
democratic presidential nominee.
Hodonburg quoted Wilson's "His
tory of tho American People," nml
refcrrod especially to- tho statement
made thoro In that Jefferson was
"an aristocrat, who deliberately prac
ticed tho arts of tho politician.
Washington found In "him a guide
who needed watching."
Tho Illinois congrcsamnu quoted
nn old Wilson letter criticising Wil
liam J. Hryan, and added:
"This Is his honest opinion of
Uryan nnd Urynuitun. Yet today ho
Is prepared to dou sack cloth and
ashes nnd to eat out of tho hand of
tho man ho denounced ns an 'untried
olatmer.' "
Hryan nlso en mo In for a share
of llodenburg's denunciation.
"For sixteen oars," ho said.
"Hryan has been democracy's Old
Mnn of tho Sea. Disregarding overy
consideration of decency and fair
play, ho succeeded In robbing Champ
Clark of tho nomination. Tho im

Tho little brothor or tho big
steamroller operated so successfully
In Chicago to flatten all opposition
to Protddont Tnft was brought out
at a mooting of the county republican
committee bore last night, and to
day, with its boiler cold and badly
battered nnd smashed, it was rele
gated to tho junk pile. Its driver,
Chairman V. O. Sanborn, a redhot
Taft man, bad literally to fight his
way from tho meeting, and after ho
had gono ho was read out of tho
party, and Philip Itnncroft, a
Hoosevolt man. was elected chair
man. Tho meeting wns anything but a
love feast, tho Taft and Roosevelt fac
tions clashing from tho stnrt. After
resolutions denouncing Taft and com
mending HooFovolt had boon adopted
and tho date for tho county conven
tion set for September 1C, Sanborn
brought the "Uttlo brother" Into
play. Ho wanted to adjourn be
cause only Cu of tho 88 committee
men woro present nnd a majority of
these woro Roosevelt men. Ho put
tho motion to adjourn and ordprod
It carried before It wns voted upon.
Thou ho started from tho hall but
the exits woro blocked by tho Roose

OYSTKIt DAY, N. Y July 2C-
Rusbing to tho defense of the sen
ate In tho controversy with the house
over tho battleship construction pro
gram, Colonel Roosevelt hero today
bitterly attacked the policy of the
democratic members, declaring that
"If they vote down the proposed plan
to build two hnttlcbhlps to bo logical,
they should also voto to abandon tho
Panama Canal." Ho said:
"It would bo an understandable
policy to advocate tho abandonment
of the canal, and this country would
then become tho China of tho west.
Hut It would be an unpardonable
policy for us to Incur tho responsibil
ity of building tho canal and then
decline to adopt tho means necessary
to eunblo ns to meet this responsl
tlllty. "I regard It as an outrage, front
tho standpoint of national honor and
Interest, to go on with tho canal at
nil unless wo fortify it and keep an
adequate navy. Furthermore, any
talk regarding what wo Intend to do
about tho Monroe doctrine, tho canal
nnd for the protection of Hawaii
would be contemptible It wo aband
on tho keoplng up of tho navy. It
would bIiow that wo have neither tho
power nor tho will, If need come, to
mnko words good by deeds. I hope
our people will always net with
8crupluous jiiBtlco and with tho ut
most generosity to our other nations,
by thoy weak or strong, but also
hope wo will niako It ovldont that
such action Is not duo to timidity but
to tho Jovo of Justice Wo will bo
come Impotont, If wo stop bulldlug
unour nnvy now."
