The people have emphatically approved OF the
wisdom and the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt
They have eInphatcally approved OF our domestic
and our foreign policies, They have given notice
to the world that the policies and the principles
that have guided this nation during the last eight
years are the permanent policies and principles
Of the people Of the United States. Our foreign
policy, our policy with relation to the Isthmtan
canal our policy with relation to the Monroe
Doctrine, our policy in the Philippines, policy
with relation to the army and navy Of the United
States, are known this morning to the civilized
powers of the earth to be the permanent policies
II this had been a close election the powers
might have construed II to be a feeble and In
decisive approval of these policies and these prtn-
ctples, but this victory is overwhelming as to
give due notice to the civilized world that these
policies and these principles have the approval of
the people OF the United States. They will stand
monkeying
It shows that man who has lived the life and
given the services that Frank Wayland Higgins
has given. when he comes before his fellow citi-
zens and is weighed in the balance will be
young man, that he who lives the life OF purity
and honesty, matter who may assail him the
people will rise up and support him. 1t is a rebuke,
a fitting emphatic rebuke. to the mudslingng and
vituperation that have gone on IN this campaign,
II would have been a catastrophe TO the moral
character and sense of the people Of the United
States If such a campaign should have succeeded
