ROOSEVELT AND WOODRUFF
(Continued from First Page.)

youngest a few months old and the eld- est not yet in the teens. While the country is full of young men who have no such responsibilities, and are eager to enlist, you have no right to leave the burden upon your wife of the care, sup port and bringing up of that family" Roosevelt's answer was a Roosevelt answer: T have done as much as any one to bring on this war, because I be- lieved it must come, and the sooner the better, and now that war is declared have no right to ask others to do the fight ,Ag and stay at home myself"
 The regiment of Rough Riders was an original American suggestion to dem- onstrate that patriotism and indomita- ble courage and common to all condi- tions of American life. The same great qualities are found under the slouch hat of the cowboy and the ele- gant imported tile of New York's gild- ed youth. Their mannerisms are the veneers of the west and the east; their manhood is the same.
 In that hot and pest-cursed climate of summer Cuba officefs had opportu- mites for protection from miasma and
 
 men. But the Rough Riders endured no hardships nor dangers which were not shared by their colonel He helped them dig the ditches, he stood beside them in the deadly dampness of the trenches No 1oored tent for him if his comrades must sleep on the ground and under the sky. In that world fam ed charged of the Rough Riders through the hail of shot and up the hill of San Juan, their colonel was a hun dred feet in advance. The bullets whiStling by him are rapidly thinning the ranks of these desperate fighters. The colonel trips and falls and the line wavers, but in a moment he is up again waving his sword, climbing and shout ing. He bears charmed life. He clips the barbed wire fence and plunges through, yelling Come on boys, come on, and we can lick hell out of them. ? The moral force of that daring cowed and awed the Spaniards and they fled from their fortified heights and San- tiago WAS ours. "To lick hell out of them" is the fury of the fighting. It expressed the titanic rage of Washing ton at the treachery of Lee and turned the tide at Monmouth. It pierced like bullets the fears of the fleeing soldiers and sent them flying to the front and victory when Sheridan rode madly up the valley from Winchester.
 Colonel Roosevelt is the typical citi zen soldier. The sanitary condition of our army in Cuba might not have been known for weeks through the regular channels of inspection and report to the various departments. Here the cit izen ill the colonel overcame the official routine and reticence of the soldier His graphic letter to the government and the round-robin he initiated brought suddenly and sharply to our attention the frightful dangers of disease and death and resulted in our boys being brought immediately home. He may have been subject to court martial foI violating the articles of war, but the humane impulses of the people gave him gratitude and applause.
 It is seldom in political conflicts when new and unexpected issues have to ba met and decided, that a candidate car be found who personifies the popular and progressive side of those issues Representative men move the masses to enthusiasm and are more easily un- derstood than measures. Lincoln, with his immortal declaration, made at a time when to make it insured his de- feat by Douglass for the United States senate, that "a house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this gov ernment cannot endure permanently half slave and half free" embodied the anti-slavery doctrine. Grant, with Alp pomatox and the parole of honor to the Confederate army behind him, stood for the perpetuity of union and liberty Mckinley, by his long and able advo- cacy of it's principles, is the leading spirit for the protection of American industries. For this year, for this crisis, for the voters of the Empire state. for the young man of the coun- try and the upward. onward and out. ward trend of the United States, the candidate of candidates is the hero oi Santiago, the idol of the Rough Rider: Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
