Show BBS ' The leportcd Interview of Senator BBVJ ,,- ICeains witle President Roosevelt BBBj printed in another column will cause BBVJ some comment In Legislative circles. BBBt The llrst question asked will be, B "What Inlliicnccs were brought to H bear on the Picsldent to induce him H to make the statmcuts attributed to B him? Were they made with a view to lemoving Smoot from the race B that Perry S. Heath might be elected? B If It should develope that the latter B Is the object to be accomplished we B fear that the interview will not have H the weight with the membcis of the B Legislature that It might deserve. H We would not like to think the pre- B sldent would lend his inlluence to Im- pose upon tho people of the State a H man that is piactlcally a stranger to B Its Interests. If however, It should BBBJ develop that tho president made the BBBJ statements claimed because of a dan- BBBJ gerthathe thinks might arise that BBBJ ' would result injuriously to the Inter- B ests of the State and the well being of BBBJ i its people, then we think careful BBBJ consideration should be given them. B AVowant the good will of President BPBJ llooscvclt and we can well atford to let BBBJ Mr. Smoot remain at home, and send BBBJ to Washington a less objectionable BBBJ man to icprcsent us as Senator. |
