From Secretary Hays address at Jack
/ son, Mich:
Secretary Hays Questions.
Even on this narrew issue they will
| dodge most of The details. Ask them,
has the President been good citizen,
good soldier a good man in an per-
| Sonal relations: Is he man of intel
| liaepce. "a education: Does he know
| dis country well? Does he know The
world outside? Has he studied law. his
| tory and politics? Has he had great
| chances 10 lie, IN, aud has he improved
| themF is he sound and strong in mind,
body and soul? Is he accessible and
| friendly Ca all SORTS and conditions VI
mem Has hc the courage and caudur
| and the Goj-siecn ability 10 speak TO
| The people ana tell them what he thinks2
| To all these questions they will answer,
Yes. Then wbar is Your objection 10
| him? They VIII either stand speechless
OF fhey will answer with the parrot cry
which we have beard 50 often: He 10
| unsafe
In certain sense we shall have 10
adult this To be true 10 every grade
OF law breaker high or low, to a man
who would rob a til or ballot box;
| 10 the sneak or the huly; 10 the hypo-
critic and tie humbug. Theodore RooSe-
welt is more than unsafe; lie is posi-
| lively dangerous.
ftrr Int tts t,. ,sstf
! pie What are the coefiirients If safety
| in a chief of state? He shonld have
courage; the wise>t coward that ever
lived is not lit to rule. Aud utelH-
| gener: we want no blunder headed hero
| in the White House. And honesty; a
clever thef would do infinite mischief.
| These three are the iud~pcnsabcs With
them man is all the more safe il he
has sense Of proportion, a sense OF
humor, a wide know ledge Of men OF
affairs; il he seeks good counsel and,
| finally, II he is a patriot, II he loves his
country, believes III It and seeks IN al
| things its interest and its glory All
men may make mistakes; but such a
man ms this will make few and no grave
| ones
such a man is our President aud oar
! candidate
The Independent Press.

of President Rno~evrll's personality and
candidacy comes from acknowledged
! party organs but note the trihntcs from
! influential Democratic ana independent
papers in which the pertinent iHterroga-
! lives Of Mr. Hay are answered,

| breadth from The impulses Of IA noble
| character or from promptings Of pro-
| foundry informed craftsmanship.

The President is man of such varied

ton in the present regime at Washing
ton is the high grade Of regular. ofli-
nary administrative work that charac-
tcrizes the various departments almost
without exception. 50 indomiiahle y ca
