abusive attacks on our beloved presi
dent were quite in contrast to the ut
terances of most democratic platform
orators who are even claiming Roose-
welt as a democrat This, he said,
was wellknown failing of the demo
Gratis, to claim all the good laws and
all the great statesmen which the re.
publican party has produced Why
they are even claiming Lincoln, now,
and yet | can distinctly remember
now with combined feeling of pity
and disgust they once regarded the
supporters of Mr.. Lincoln.
Chancellor Buchtel then called at.

way of encouraging capital to build
railroads, mills and factories and said
