Governor Roosevelt said in part:
Our opponents are stronger oratory than
they are on action. We have read in the good
Book that Ephraim feedeth on the wind. There
Is no possible objection to that so long as
Ephraim enjoys it, but there is no call for our
sharing the fare, so I appeal to you to exercise
that plain, hard headed common sense upon
which we justly pride ourselves as nation, and
to remember to keep what we have got ana TO
remember the further fact that a prophecy Is
only to be valued according to it's fulfllment.
/ have too much confidence in the hard common
sense of our people TO believe that they will COM
nit the folly of going back into the Slough or
Despond out Of which have lifted ourselves
bv so much painful effort. If you chose to do
So it is your inalienable right under the Con-
stitution.
