to place his life at the service of his
country In honoring Theodore Roose-
welt the American people have honored
themselves.
Had the result been different there
must have been grave apprehensions as
to the future of the Republic. The
Democratic campaign was one of
treachery and deceit from start to
finish. They took for a candidate a
man unknown outside of his own State;

question. and the Bryanites had been
committed to candidate and platform,
Parker sent his gold telegram" with a
view to securing the influence Of Wall

terized the now defeated candidate.
