Rooseyelt. be Should Be more radical

Roosevelt, he should be more radical
than Bryan.
In respect Of the radical policies
referred to and generally, though in
definitely designated as socialistic,
both parties are tarred with the same
stick. The Republican party, with
all branches of the government at its
command may do something toward
executing those policies; the Demo
cratic party could not until several
succeeding elections had put the gov
ernment wholly In its hand.
The pressing practical duty of the
hour, therefore, Is to defeat the Re
publican party in the now pending
election, result which, among other
things, will do much toward bringing
to their senses the ultra-radical ele-
ments of both parties.
