Let US be serious about Roosevelt
1or moment He was nominated for
governor of New York in 1888, solely

In his book, 1.-THE Rough Riders he
claims it for hiInSelf-fhat he was al

he invariably appraised the situation
With unerring accuracy: that his pres

which Roosevelt has at least done moth
ing TO discourage, that he saved the day
at Guasimas; that he led the charge
on San Juan hill and blockhouse, and
that, generally, he furnished the brains,
the valor, and the inspiration of the
whole affair.
Upon the strength of this hypotheosT-
carefully built up and industriouSIy
disseminated, Roosevelt is now a can
didate for the vice presidency, the idol
OF the hero-worshiperS and the pride
and glory of the multitude. He repre-

Certainly it is fair TO examine the

as they are carefully and deliberately
conveyed to an eager world through the
medium of his copyrighted book, 1.-The

Albers has been very successful in his
career. He has had the command Of
three queues of the seas-the Augusta
