The Meaning of the Great Ovation
There has been much speculation
among newspapers and politicians as
10 the meaning of this great ovation
which probably surpasses anythin,
before seen in the history of this o,
my other country. It's meaning i.
not hard to find by those who desire
% know the truth. Briefly it NAV b.
said:
FIRST, That the great masses Of ths
people are heart and soul with tn
resident III his effort to correct tn
'reat and growing evils from whicl
She people suffer at the hands O..
transportation companies. The,
know that rates In many cases arc
cry much too high and they know
hat rebates and determinations hav.
roken up individual businesses, have
'ut blight on certain towns ant
,ections and have built up others
they know that these evils have beer
)erpetrated by tremendous power to-
'reat for any one to grapple with ex
'ept the national government. The,
know that these evils have produced
trusts and combinations. They be-
leve that the President has the abili
Y and the courage to right these evils
They believe he is honest and tha.
le will not waver i'll his great figh
O remedy these wrongs and to give
quail justice and opportunity to eacl
Individual and to each section of om
reat country. This belief of the
masses Of the people in Theodore
roosevelt Is one of the causes Of theI
wonderful tribute to him.
Second, The people are beginnin,
o realize how they have been foole,
nd humbugged by the class of poll
icians who have never raised thei
lands to remedy these evils but wht
ave kept them in political bondage
by crying negro domination. They
now that these same politicians have
erved every corporation that has de
.ired to Cypress the people. They
ave begun to realize that this class
f politicians would traffic i'll and bar,
CT away the liberties and birthrights
f the people III order to secure offices
or themselves. They know that this
lass of politicians tried to fool then
1to supporting the candidate of Wal
'treet and the Rothschilds, one nam.
d Parker, in the last election. The!
now that these politicians did not
i've them a good resaon why they
hould support Mr.. Parker for presi
'ent, but that they spent their Who'll,
me abusing and vilifying Presiden'
>oosevelt, who was their friend ane
Who was being fought by the same in
uences that were backing Parker.
Hence, the people wanted not only
show their faith in and admiration
or the man, Theodore Roosevelt, but
hey wanted to deliver singing re
,uke to these politicians and false
eaders who have so long betrayed
hem.
This class of Southern politicians
nd the Democratic newspaper or
ans who supported them in their out
ageous policy in the past are today
horoghly frightened at this tribute
the masses to Roosevelt and the
reat principles for which he stands.
nd the people may look for these
politicians and newspapers from now
N each day to begin insidiously, to in
luence the people as they have in the
,ast, but unless all signs fail they
will never succeed in deluding the
,rave and intelligent masses OF South
rn manhood again.
President Now Well Equipped For
His Fight For the People.
The President has announced that
his will be the last extended trip
le will make while he is president.
Ie has now been to every quarter Of
he country and to every State OF the
Union, and has looked the people face
to face. He today unquestionably
Knows the people and the conditions
IN each section far better than any
other man who was ever president OF
the United States. With this lnfor-
nation in store he will now buckle
lown for the remainder OF his term
20 try to carry into effect some OF
the great reforms for which he stands
that will be conducive to greater pros
perity and greater equality and JUS
tice between man and man.
The great syndicate OF railroads
which has been sending out literature
from a press bureau to politicians and
newspapers attempting to furnish ar
guments against the President s rate
railway bill are now getting thorough
ly frightened. At first they thought
