ROOSEyrlTS ACTIVITY.

Before condemning President
Roosevelt for his present activity
.it is nothing more than just that
both sides of the matter be taken
into consideration, Roosevelt is
condemned because he allowed
himself to be drawn into the
active campaign, and at first
glance it does seem that il WAS
an unwise move. Roosevelt as
the chief executive Of the United
States is supposed to be out Of.
the present campaign so far as
personal activity is concerned.
Bryan, when he asked the
President to make n statements
knew that he had the President
in a peculiar position. II Roose-
welt had maintained silence,
Bryan would, with his former
silver oratory, heralded the fact
over the country that Roosevelt
could not answer. il Roosevelt
answered, as he did, Bryan knew
that he would be condemned for
taking an active part in the cam
paign. After he did answer,
Bryan, whose words usoany
trip round him like so many
airy servitors" says he has not
time to reply 10 R~ooseyelt's shots.
This Irom the silver-tongued, toe
peerless orator, seems very
strange. Never before was vii.
liam Jennings unable to talk.
Roosevelt was in a position
where he'd be damned 10 he did
and he'd be damned If be
didn't"
He did, and his reply made il
necessary for Bryan to hunt g
new solicitor for dollar subscrip
tions, as Haskell saw 90 TO re-
sign; his reply may result p
oklahoma hayinga new governor.
his reply made Bryan Say he was
70 busy 10 talk-no wonder The
President answer created eX
element.
Before you condemn President
Roosevelt, however, just consider
that he would have been abused
just the same had lac maintained
silence.
