Mr. Roosevelt state Rights Man and Not
a Politician.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: I am
glad to see that a good many of the leading
Republicans are In favor OF Roosevelt for
another term. They are evidently finding
out that the masses OF the people want him
again. regardless of the third term. When we
quietly listen to the people we hear them say:
Roosevelt has made us one Of the best Presi-
dents we have ever had; IA such we should
not allow the third term to cut any agure in
his election for another term.
Roosevelt IL in favor OF fair and square
deal" for everybody; he IL also In favor OF
everybody having a show to develop all the
good qualities he may have. but no show to
develop the evil spirit within: he is in favor
OF enforcing the laws. regardless OF wealth
or poverty; he is in favor of good citizenship.
which requires a strict enforcement OF the
laws: he is in favor of preserving the purity
Of the races. which is one Of the most inn
portant things that we have to deal with at
present. Roosevelt Is in favor of State
rights. az well as national rights. and above
all things he il in favor of peace, which is
worth more than all else
Roosevelt IL looked upon mt present as one
Of the greatest peaCemakeTs now living:
while that is true, he is advocating the en-
largement Of our navy, which he thinks viii
be the means Of preserving peace between
our nat ion and other nations.
Roosevelt has done a good deal toward
restoring perfect peace and harmony between
the North and South. If the South would
give up the negro we would soon have per
feet peace and harmony between the two
sections permanently esta lshe l.
In the next national conventions of the
Republicans and Democrats To nominate
a man for the Presidency think il would be
wise for both parties to nominate Theodore
Roosevelt Roosevelt Is a good Republican
and an equally good Democrat IL Repuh-
liCanism or Democracy means government
by the people and for the people. He has
certainly tried TO serve the people instead
nf /
masses n the people should not want him
again, particularly when we take into con-
sideratiOn his ability and industry. He Is
not only an able man. but one of the hardest
working men In this country. His industry
since he has been President has been directed
in the way OF finding out as much as possible
We can say one other thing for Roosevelt.
he is not q party politician. Unfortunately,
we have too many men in Office who think
more Of party than they do of the interest q
of the people. II a man runs for Office now
ne must be a Republican or Democrat, no
matter how small the Office may he. While
II may be necessary to have two parties. we
should look more TO the man than party when
We put him la Office :. =. COBB.
p. S.While Roosevelt il a great peace
maker. he Is in favor of war If necessary to
protect the rights of one nation against
another. just a. he is in favor of enforcing
the law to protect the rights of one man
He is al present making great effort TO
enforce the law against the dishonest use Of
money that is going on in some Of our trust =
and combines. While he Ia doing that he Is
not opposed to the rich man using all the
money he may have in a legitimate. honest
way. He IL in favor of all. both rich and
poor. having faiv square deal which means
the masses OF the people want him again
Let's quit party politics and make our cleo
ti0ns a matter of business. Elect men to
Office just like we would hire men to do any
thing else. As we do that we will improve
our public state OF Affairs.
