UNDEHWODO HAS CRBNCE-HOBSON Merrimac Hero Cheered as He Urges Big Navy in Debate With Governor Hanly. “Willing to talk politics'? Well, why not ?" asked Richmond P. Hobson, in reply tc a reporter's question. “My be ing on a lecture tour doesn’t keep me from having opinions and being willing to express them. "I’m an Underwood man. you know. .Yes, I think he has a working chance to win. The tariff is the main issue— the only really great Issue—no matter how much the Republicans may try to avoid it. Roosevelt nor Taft knows anything about the tariff. When they try to speak on that subject they talk nonsense. Underwood knows the sub ject thoroughly. Roosevelt is trying to iqnke the issue honest men vs. crooks,’ tite latter being all those opposed to the colonel. “I believe Taft may yet win the nom ination. though one must admit that Roosevelt has shown remarkable strength. Taft would be the easier for the Democrats to defeat." His Smile Not "Bloodthirsty." "1 suppose you and Governor Hanly have all your points of debate neatly framed up to give each other opportu nity for brilliant rejoinder and thus add to the eloquence of both sides.” sug gested the reporter. The oft-kissed hern of the Merrimac smiled. He has a peculiarly attractive smile, and one which does not fit his reputation for bloodthirstiness. It is hard to believe a man with a smile like that should be the Oliver Twist of con gress. always shouting for “more bat tleships." Hanly Calls T. R. a Bungler. “Do you know. I never met Governor 11. inly until last night, when we dined together," he said. “I had heard that, he had a beautiful address on “Peace." and our debate was arranged by the lecture bureau. Governor Hanly is a fine gentleman, and 1 am sure that we shall continue to debate amicably', even if vigorously." The joint appearance of the advocate of a bigger navy and the apostle of world peace drew a fair audience to the Auditorium last night. Governor flan ly created a stir when ho declared that “Roosevelt the bungler” would have plunged the country into .war had he faced the Mexican crisis which Presi dent Taft has handled. He made a powerful plea for universal disarma ment of the nations. f'apt.
