Fighting South Carolina senator again
beligerant? Says President Roosevelt
is no gentleman? Hale arraigns south
and says attack is unjustified
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Washington, Jan. 18 ? Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, created a sensation yes"
lerday afternoon by attacking President Roosevelt on the floor of the senate, accusing him
of lacking all the instincts of a gentleman. The basis of the attack was theaction of the
president in causing Mrs. Morris, a southern woman, to be ejected from the White House
by force because she refused to leave before seeing him about a matter which she wanted
remedied. Tillman said the newspapers of the south had given President Roosevelt most
of his popularity and it was humiliating to discover that, with his other faults, was that
of lacking the kindly and sympathetic instincts of a true gentleman and the place they
should occupy filled by the brutal and selfish instincts of a savage.
Senator Hale, of Maine, replied to Senator Tillman. He arraigned the south and
said it had no right to attack the president.
Senator Tillman's attack is the sensation of the session.
