Much abuse has been heaped upon me bscause
more time was devoted by me to denunciation
nj Parker than Of Roosevelt The reason IS Oh
7fous enough. Roosevelt Is a straight out Re-
publican. who declares boldly for Republican
principles. oenantly defending existing condi-
Tions. To attack him is a short, easy job. He
Is so conspicuous and stationary target that
no one who wishes 70 take "A shot ar him could

MIN all the while az a foeman worthy of any
mans steel. Mr.. Roosevelt VIII get RepuDllcan
votes and no other. He is not seeking the sup

~ is Dot niayiug a confidence game on the

principles. In short, there Is no danger mat

Democrat There Is no danger that Roosevelt

Wirh Mr Parker it IS different. He is not
JeffeTsonian Democrat. Yet he seeks 70 secure
tha support Of Jeffersonials. II he would speak
out plainly and tell the people that he Is IN
principle the same thing. practically that Roose
veIr Is. che Bryan Democrats would fall away
from him bv the million ! would then be en-
sbled 10 organize such party Of revolt against

speeches that Air. Bryan declared that man
should be willing 10 die for his convictions
which is also a very sound proposition
Mr. Bryan. who Is always careful IN the state

would begin with foot race and end with

when he declared that the plutocratic element
Tor the time being is IN control Of the Demo
