col r. II l. Goddard Is not such a
man. He has been man enough 10 strip
the Issue which confronts us al this time
OF all partisan cloaking and regard II as
an American citizen who places his state
and his country above all claims Of al
legiance TO a party organization whose
membership changes from year 10 year
and becomes today what II was not In his
youth
"CoI. Goddard does not follow the ex-
ample of Gov. Utter and Initiate his
maneuvres by talking behind the back
~ the boss and then stepping up in front
Of him and taking from his hand what
he is pleased TO hand out Col Goddard
goes beyond Gov, Utter and uses the in
strument which he finds at hand. which
happens 10 be the Democratic party, TO
compel the boss 10 let go his hold on the
state. He is not willing to beg the boss
10 let go; he Is going TO club him into re-
leasing his possession.
"Col. Goddard is just as much of a
Democrat al President Roosevelt would
be II he dared to resist Aldrich and the
trust system in the nation in the same
manner as Col Goddard dares 10 resist
Brayton and the boss system In this
state"
