present creeds. With the bulk of his doc
tIinc born of a modern democracy, there
are shining sentences of his belief that
came from the populist party. and that
great economic proposition to which he
bravely linked his name in Madison Square
Garden was a graft pure and simple from
thu dying bosom of that old farmer band
which breathed it's honest doctrines fresh
from the soil into our material politics, and
passed unstained to the vindication OF time.
Mr. Roosevelt has grown great only be-
cause he too has risen above the partisan.
Born and prospered In the camps of priv
llege he came with a brave heart and an
open mind to Washington. He followed or
tEuGON in the wake of his party and in the
paths of his predecessor. But .one day VIM.
r. Hearst flung at his feet an array of I'M
aEswerable statistics to prove the banefu
existence and iniquity of the trusts. The
challenge rang against brave mans shield,
and Theodore Roosevelt was never the
same man again. he buckled on his sword
and went forth to war with the merger of
those northern railroads under Hill and
Hartman. He has never sheathed since
then the blade he barred in our democratic
battle against corporate greed and profit.
There they are-those two great men-the
greatest men In all our Countrywide two
greatest men In all the world. By the
record they stand each for righteousness
ard justice everywhere. By the
ord they the unmatched champions
OF the people in the supremest crisis of
the peoples observation-disclosures or

are American statesmen and patriots in

the hosts of Israel. One or the other of
these men should ablish order and JUS

OF the other of these men should be the
President and pilot of the people in these
Tremendous times. Either is worthy. Each
deserves Which can be?
Which one?
The partisan may make prompt answer
and win applause from either side. The
patriot may make better answer and win
thu plaudits of the people and posterity.
Here then the problem lies square and
plain for the honest thinker with ballot in
his hand
Which of these two great and loyal men.
In these great and vital times. offers the
most substantial hope-both for triumph at
the polls and for execution at the capital
OF the essential and supreme reforms which
the practical citizen of this practical age
here and now most practically demands?
MY fellow democrats, 1t is with you. l
have said my say in counsel. When your
voice is given either way, / shall fall IN
