| The Invaluable Services Of Roosevelt.
While we have known for years
that large part of the business of
the country was being done by rich
malefactors", by scoundrels of the
most perfect type, who violated every
law, human and divine, in the prose-
cution OF their dark schemes, who
mercilessly robbed the public separ-

never able to drive this knowledge
home to the understanding OF the
mass OF republican voters until the
impetuous Roosevelt became inocu-
lated with the virus of democratic

of revealing to them any new truth
or imparting any original information
, but by reason Of being president. the
official head Of his party. he had both
