As we understand Mr. Rooseveit's de-
Tense of the Hartman campaign contribu-
ton
l. 1t was entirely proper for Mr.. Roose-
welt to solicit this money. because he in
tended to bunco Hartman and did bunco
him.
. Secrecy was necessary because Mr.
Roosevelts motives might have been mis-
construed by low-minded persons who
would see in the transaction sordid at
tempt on the part Of Hartman to control
the presidency through the use of tainted
money.
3. Publicity of such contribution before
election might have thwarted the high
moral purpose of Mr.. Roosevelt i'm sepa-
rating Hartman from his money without
giving him anything in return
4. Other presidential candidates should
never be permitted to engage in similar
negotiations. because even were they slIf-
ficiently patriotic to repudiate the moral
obligation they would not be sufficientlv
practical TO deceive man like Hartman

Welt who did this is complete answer to
all hostile criticism -

there we're no other reason for defeat

alone would justify the voters in driv-

The two candidates represent exactly
the difference in the two party plat
forms. Mr.. Knight has been fair and
outspoken; Spry has sought to win
votes by malicious Misrepresentation
and anonymous pamphlets defaming

is progressive. constructive, a bene-
factor to his state: Mr.. Spry is a re-
dictionary. an obstacle 20 peace and
hindrance TO the progress of the state.

II has already become apparent that
the people have made up their minds
TO vote for Mr.. Knight in spite of the
desperate efforts that have been made
to mislead them. II is likely the last
