('nse th<‘ Way Roosevelt Want-
*h1 it Decided.
It is reitorted from indlanapolia
lud , that Roosevelt during a recep
tiott tendered him at the Co him bln
Club of that city of October 13Hi
charged Judge A. H Anderson, oi
the Federal Court, with being a
"damned jackass and a crook ’ anc i
then a nook and a uamued juck-
ass." The language was used tc
Capt. Harry New, formerly chairman
of the Republican national commit
tee who stood in the line in
troducing <^ok>nel Roosevelt to the
Hub members.
The Indianapolis News gives
Roosevelt reason for thus speak of
a judge, by saying Judge Anderson
rendered the famous decision refus
ing to send Delevan Smith and
Charles R. Williams of the Indianap
olis News to Washington'for trial on
a charge of criminal libel, in which
Col. Roosevelt, then President, had
had them indicted
Some one introduced Judge Ander
son'to Roosevelt at ting club. This
introduction was neknoVledged b.
'Roosevelt, and Judge Anderson pa.is
ed on New opposed the appoi it-
nient of Anderson as Judge. When
Capt. New saw Jhdge Anderson pre
sented to Roosevelt he thought be
saw a chance to disabuse Rooscve!'
mind of any prejudice that might
ttiat might exist there on account
of Mr. New s opposition to tne ap
pointment .

of the Buckeye state. Senator h'or
aker declared that it is no wonder
that William J. Bryan holds up his
hands In horror at the Kooevelt doc
trine, for never in his radical
moments, did Bryan go so far
as to advorate such a thing as
the "new nationalism " He declar
ed that it w'as not nationalism, new
or old, but imperialism, pure and
simple. The s"nator went furth t
into detail, and did not mime words

Ohioans declare that the net re*
suit of Foraker's attack on Roo«e-
veil will l>e to lose Harding, the Re
publican candidate for governor, a
large number oi votes. Harding has
been doing great things In Ohio in
the effort to bind up the Republi
can party's wounds, and had begun
to hope for success In defeating Jud-
son Harmon for governor. But when
