Roosevelt Nominated.

The Republican National Con
vention which met in Chicago last
week was very quiet md perfume
tory affair. The nomination of
of the spectacular President is not
meeting with the favor and enthu.
siasm party leaders had hoped for.
1t is obvious that since the ascen-
sion of Roosevelt to the presidency
the thoughtful sentiment of the
country has become fearful of his
administration, and distressful of
his erratio and sutocratic assump
ton and exercise of power.
To-day the country finds in
Theodore Roosevelt a standing
menace to constitutional govern
ment. to international peace and
to business stability and prospect
ty.
He has been nominated. and if
the people of this country elect
him to serve four more years in
the White House he will consider
it q personal endorsement of him
self and his methods, and there Ii
no telling to what extreme he may
go, or into what danger he may
lead or thrust the country. He is
too autooratic, strenuous and
spectacular for President.

If our Republican fellow citizens
would sit down and calmly consid-
er and think over the disreputable
disgraceful methods their leaders
have been employing this year, all
over the State, the conviction
would force itself upon them thai
an overwhelming defeat this fall
would be the best thing that could
possibly happen the party. Il
would come to the IG. o. P, as 8
blessing in disguise. for it would
teach the leaders, who are willing
to sacrifice honor and honesty 70,
the sake of an Office, that the rank
and file have some sense of de-
cency left which they cannot safe
ly ignore or lose sight of. Why,
pray, should condition exist that
justifies Senator Scott in sdvising
his party friends to hold their
noses with one hand while they
put in their ballots with the
other?-Greenbrier Independent
