Fourth. President Roosevelt has
not only sus, aimed, but greatly in.
creased our prestige among the ma
tions OF the word. Our government
maintained the integrity OF China
1t Is to President Roosevelt that
the country owes its commanding
position TO protect and enlarge the
important commercial relations b
tween the United States and China
with ali its inmeasura Bile proba bill
ties. And &c Is due to hlm that W.

power in the world for determiniosI

and Russia. Besides he has per
formed the greatest service for pro
saving and vitalizing the Hague |
international Court of Arbitration |
That International Arbitration |
Court and the great and CROWN. |
Navy are the create st |
and Inducements tor the |
peace Of the world.
"These are only a few illustra

re-elect him for these things alone.
The American People Alert.
"The American people, who would
preserve their government, cannot
afford that President Roosevelt,whol
has shown such courage, wisdom
and patriotism, shall be defeated |
When there is such opposition ar
aged against him on account Of
'hese very qualities and deeds
And l am one Of the people WHO feel
hat way.
A Striking Contrast

An Astounding Argument. In

On, That the American citizen can VI
