His clear voice rang out to the end of
the hall and was so unusual that a man
way up In the gallery shouted in sur
prised tone Not SO loud" That
brought down the house.
Knight said the time we're ripe for
real Americanism. The liberty for
which the minute men fought, the lip-
erty OF Lincoln should be taught the
people. The republican party was the
first organization that made the labor
ing man the true quality of himself.
Socialism" he explained. "can never
live this republic. The anarchist has
no home with us. Follow the light of
our Washington for its purity Of pur-
pose. Of Jefferson, Lincoln. Mckinley
and all PATRIOTS Of old. We want a
president who will fight the wrong.
Theodore Roosevelt is the man. The
party needs him more than he needs
the party. Dishonesty. duplicity. and
cowardice are never impulsive, Roose-
welt Is impulsive. The democratic CEN
sors who opposed him In the Panama
canal. have been quietly laid aside in
democratic graveyards. Roosevelt
stands the representative OF type
that is not to die out for all time to
come. After ne has given the best
years Of his life to the people he will
take the flag as pure and unsullied and
hand 1t to the American patriot who
Is next in the line.
