THE REPUBLICANS CHANCE TO "MAkE
GOODr


THE people have given the republican
party chance to make good
This, according to recent press dispatches,
is the Interpretation placed on the election
by President Roosevelt
The question naturally arises, will the
republican party improve the chance thus
given it, In the light OF past events the
conclusion that It will not seems fully war
ranted This is not the first time that the
ropuOAcan party has had the chance to
make good But since bygones are some
times disposed to be bygones whether we
will or no, we may as wel leave the past
and come down TO the present and the
future.
