holds that there was no larceny,

that the larceny consisted in taking

How eagerly the stand patterS
catch hold of every utterance OF Presl-
dent Roosevelt which they can wasp
into meaning that he will not accept
denomination. He has issued another
statement to his appointeeS which
says they must not go as delegates to
the next national republican conVen-
ton tagged as Roosevelt delegates. If
President Roosevelt accepts renomi-
nation il must come from the people
not through the manipulation of his
appointees This is as il should be
and We believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
is as wise in this respect as he has
proven himself to be in his every act
That he has no desire to again be
president we believe, but when the
people. his fellow citizens, express
themselves forcibly enough he will ac-
cept the nomination. OF course We
realize that il is the purpose of the
corporation to divide the people on
this and if possible secure a goodly
number Of delegations who will either
be adverse to the denomination of Mr.
Roosevelt or play hot and cold with
him. If they succeed in this they
will wipe out every reform measure
that is near and dear to the rank
and file and again the corporations
will be in control.
