THE WEATHERDAILY MISSIAN Today--Fair; colder, realize it. Tomorrow-Fair; colder. T ra tgdgIAt VOt XXXIX. NO. 245. MISSOULA, MONTANA, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1913. PRICE FIVE CENTS IEDDY SENDS GOOD-CHEER MESSAGE EXPRESSES ADMIRATION FOR MEN WHO DARED TO PRINT HIS STATEMENT. DECISION AN "OUTRAGE" Imprisoned Publishers Hold One Continuous Reception and Receive Thousands of Congratulatory Let ters and Messages-Hundreds of Pennies Pour In to Pay Their Fines. Caldwell, Idaho, Jan. 4.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in a telegram to James H. (Gipson, progressive state chairman, which was received today, extended to E. S. Sheridan, C. O. Broxon and A. R. Cruzen, who are serving a jail sentence for contempt of court for publishing Colonel Roose velt's appeal, his sympathy and ad miration. He also has communicated with progressive senators to see if something cannot be done in the Uni ted States senate to call attention to what he terms an "outrage." Colonel Roosevelt's telegram fol lows: "I am confident that I express the feelings of every decent American citizen when I say that I am outraged and indignant beyond measure at the infamy that has been perpetrated in Idaho. "In its essence the action of the court is in the first place to deny to a very large minority, possibly a plur ality of the voters of Idaho, the right effpetively to express their desire as to who shall be the chief magistrate of the nation and in the second place to punish those who protest against this denial of justice and thereby seek to intimidate all men -who may here after desire to protest against similar outrages. "No anarchist agitator could ever do anything against the courts compara ble in effect to these actions of the highest of one of our state courts. There could be no better proof that we need in any state the power to recall judges from the bench when they act badly and that everywhere we need to give to the people them selves the right expeditiously to make their own constitutions and to be in every act the masters of their own destinies. "I have communicated with Senators Dixon, Blorah, Poindexter and Bristow to ask if something cannot be done in the United States senate, at any rate to call attention to the outrage. Let me know if. there is anything in which I can be of assistance. "Meanwhile I wish to extend to the progressives of Idaho and particularly to the men who have been fined and sentenced to jail, not nlerly my meartiest sympathy, but my heartiest admiration. They are in every act proving 1by their conduct the truth of the pro fession they have nmade. All good citizens are their debtors. They have made great sacrifices for :U'e cause of popular government, of gool citizen ship and of the right temperately and truthfully to say what is vitally necessary in the interests of good citizenship." One Continuous Reception. Boise, Idaho, Jan. 4.-Thousands of letters and telegrams from prominent persons in all parts of the country were received today by E. S. Sheridan, C. 0. Broxon and A. HI. ('ruzen, who are serving 10-day sentences for con tempt of court. Their cells, which were once occupied by Moyer, Hay wood and Pettibone of Western Fed eration fame, are banked with flow ers. "Greetings to the knight errant of the press," said a messag. to Mr. Sheridan from Governor West of Ore gon. "I am forwarding by this mail data re Oregon parole and honor system for your mediation.

TAFT PRESIDES OVER OWN WAKE MAKES "FUNERAL ORATION, OVER HIS POLITICAL CORPSE." HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND The President Declares He Has Been More Misunderstood Than Blaume worthy-He Defends His Adminis tration Through the Many Results He Declares It Has Attained. New York, Jan. 4.--President Taft presided here tonight at what he styled his own "political wake." He made the funeral oration over his "political porple;" asked modest praise for the deeds that he did while he lived in the White House; recited at length the causes that led to his "demise" and attaclked the enemies he held responsib.e for his taking off. The president was the only speaker at the republican "reorganization" dlinner, given at the Waldorf-Astoria to more than 1,000 republicans from all over the country. He spoke for more than an hour. His defense of his administration was the executive results it has produced; his reply to personal criticism was that he had Ieen nmore misunderstood than blame worthy. His attack upon his political oplponcnts--confined almost exclu sively to the progressives-was not bitter, but sorrowful. In spite of all the misrepresenta tion, the unrest, the present-day de sire for change, the president said, he saw in the future a return to the old ideas of government, the awakening of the people to an understanding that social changes must be made slowly and with sure steps. He closed with an appeal to republicans who left the party .to return and join hands with the rntllions ,who re mained faithful. "Let us buhckle on our armor again for the battle for humanity that must be fought," said the president. "Let us invite those republicans wlho left us under an impulse that calmer con sideration shows to have been unwise, to return and stand again with us in this critical time. "Let us ask our opponents, the dem ocrats, The many who love the conl stitution and the blessings it has brought, to unite with us in its de fense. It must be a campaign of edu cation among the common picole for 'the benefit of the common people against the person of class-hatred, the fanaticism of unbalanced enthusi asm and the sophistry of demagogic promise." In tile course of his speech the pres ident made, his first public reference to Colonel Itoosevelt since the close of the campalign, asserting that prob ably one million voters, normially re publican, cast their iIallots for Mr. \Vilson, "in order to avoid thel danger of Mr. Rloosevelt's l;dangeroLIS policies." The president said in part: "It is unusual for tile deceased to give very full expression to his feel ings at the wake; but I remember that in on(1 of lioucicault's Irish dramas, tile corpse' was sufficiently revived to partakel of the liquid re freshlent anld Icc'amme the chief par ticipant in the festivities. A f'ew ,lopening remarks diretcted to thile char acter of the deceased and the manner of his taking off may not, therefore, he inappropriate. "What was tile political disease of which 1 died? 1 am hopieful that when historians conduct their post mortems it may ie found that my d' mise was due to circumstances over which I had no great control and to a political cataclysm which I could hardly hav"e anticipated or avoided; but whll'th'r this le true or Inot e(venl friendly critics are able to poinit out personal reasons why it was that, though 1 went in, I also went out, with large majorities.
