on the claim that there is more of sent

that there Is an element of sentiment
in the proposition. but every scientist
who has made study of the subject
agrees. too. &liat there is an alI-import-
ant economic side to the question
There can be no doubt that the de-
forestation OF the White Mountain and
Appalachian range will in the end Gre

the effect. The effect would be felt
very severely in the States of North

Democratic tndorsers do but support
him? In a word, II he, the President,
in his late frenzied and remarkable
and extraordinary utterances, retlected
the true sentiment of the people ana
the Democratic party, why not make II
unanimous?
But there are Democrats OF intelli-
gence and prominence who do not In
dorse the Views of President Roosevelt.
The objection is that in all of his TRADE
he had not a word to say on the tariff
policy OF his party, which has done
more to disturb the business interests
of the country than anything else.
Thfzh. again, the President breaches
Capitalization which Is far from sound
Democratic doctrine. There are good
and prominent Democrats here who
take no stock in the ratings of the
President.
