and figure like B. Waggener, who is so
strikingly handsome that even a
photograph fails to give a reliable
idea of his appearance, is entitled to a
kick, but he should bear it with forth

toon is not a thing of beauty. it does
not resemble him in the least, and is
therefore robbed of its sting.
On the other hand, we have the
good natured senator from Edwards

does not object to anything short of a
position on the first page of a colored
supplement. AS a help to the down
trodden cartooEist he changes his
appearance each session. He has even
divorced himself from his imposing
rompadour, and mashed his hair
down with a pair of military brushes.

THE ROOSEVELT THIRD TERM
NATIONAL LEAGUE-PLATFORM

We. the members OF the Roosevelt
Third Term National League, having
at heart the great social and political
problems now confronting the people,
and in order that the rights OF the
masses be protected and that national
harmony be preserved, deem it i'm
perative that Theodore Roosevelt be
reelected to the Presidency in 1908.
We have come upon days in our
social and political lie. icrmcnting

We view with alarm the evils al

fertile field ior the dcmagoguc. from
which might readily spring a political
and social revolution, and believe that
nothing short OF temperate and prayer
full Solicitudc, on the part OF the people,
will hold our political and social struc-
ture intact.
To the people irrespective OF party
lines is due the credit that their Prcsi-
dent, today. is Theodore Roosevelt
A new era OF real freedom and vitality
in our institutions OF government and
politics was demanded, and they wisely
saw in him means to attain it.
SO vaiantly and Fundamentally has
this man reflected the wishes OF the
people, that his personality has enter
ed into and become part OF every de
partmcnt Oi our national life.
1t has won the confidence OF the pco-
pie; and this fact alone, makes him the
most potent factor in the solution OF
the present disturbing conditions. To
eliminate his pcrSonality-which is to
eliminate that contidcncc-at a time
when the people, as whole. are res
tive and trembling with apprehension,
is to invite national disorder.
SO closely woven is this bond be
tween the President and the people,
that he has become to them a public
necessity. an essential part OF things
in the social and political fabric.
Therefore, President Roosevelt is not
only the one logical candidate for
nomination, but maniicstly the only
logical President for the people.

that the frightened and vcngciul wealth
