and do not hesitate to show It. 1t is to
be regretted that Colonel Roosevelt
made the publication and hes refused
to withdraw it or qualify it; but we
concluded when Colonel Roosevelt was
nominated at Philadelphia that enough
had been made of the incident and that
In the interest ofparty success it should
be closed. 1t was easy enough to reach
this conclusion when the official record
ofColonel Roosevelt was compared with
that Of Mr, Stevenson, the Democratic
candidate for the Vice-Presidency.
