ROOSEVELT, THE PRESI-
DENT AND POLITICIAN.

The Record has received a crft1-
cism of the terms it has used in re-
ferring to President Roosevelt. The
Record has all due respect for Theo-
lore Roosevelt, the President of the
United States and considerable adj
miration for certain of his works, acts
and policies, but when Theodore
Roosevelt, the politician, leaves his
high Office and stoops in the mire of
politics, he must expect to be treat
ed accordingly. The President of the
United States should be treated with
high respect, but the politician who
attacks the character Of his political
opponents and refuses them an oppor-
tunity of showing their innocence of
the charges made against them, and
the politician who attempts to force
upon the American people a man for
President, whom even the vast major
fly of his own party object to, must
expect to be treated as the politician
pure n simple. No man car be two
characters at the same time. 1t is
impossible to dis~associate the deeds
of the President from the deeds. of
the politician and, perhaps, i n a NOM
ent of f~orgetfulness, the Record may
have confused the two personalities.
Our republican friends should also
recall that William J. Bryan is the
leader and the hope of millions of
Americans citizens, who see in him
a person not at all inferior to the
Header of the republican party, and
a man to whom they look up to with
feelings much as the same with which
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-09-25

our Republican friend regards Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the President. They
see in Mr.. Bryan a man whom they
regard as the next president, and as
the hope and leader of millions of
the plain people of the land. n when
they see the leaders of the republi-
can party, in speaking of him, use
terms not commonly used in polite So
ciety, they would be more than hum
an did they not resort to similar an
guage. Mr.. Bryan has, perhaps, had
heaped upon him, by republican lead
ers and republican newspapers, more
abuse, than propably any other citi-
zen of our land within the last half
a century. He has had ascribed to
him all the vagaries and foolish i'm
pulses Of thousands of political writ
ers and speakers, yet he has emerged
from it all and today he stands with
out a peer in all this broad land of
ours.
And yet republican friends say
that the election of Bryan will dis
rupt the business of the country, the
crops will fail and dark gloom and
despair will o~verspread the land. In
view of all this the Record must in
sist on the moderation and mildness
of it's editorial pag

Roosevelt has stated to Governor
Curry that he would recommend in
his next message the Immediate adj
mission of New Mexico and Arizona
as states, and hat he hoped to be
able to sign such a bill before leav-
ing office. If his were only the first
time such a promise, had been made
the people Of New Mexico might place
some reliance in it.

Hearst is the man whom some
years ago President Roosevelt de-

yet it is the unsupported charges of

Hearst gone through the Immunity
