TT remained for Roosevelt to prove
how the people will respond to strong

For that reason. his successor may we'll
disregard any charge of lack of originality,
If he does not make an entirely new pro-
gram OF his own.
"a President at this time has work before
him clearly defined. The enforcement of the
law. equally against high and low, the pow
erful and the weak, should be his first
thought. The danger to our country from
laxity or favoritism in this is the greatest
one we have face. The conservation of our
natural resources and their development for
the use OF all along the lines of the equal
opportunity. too. must command his imme-
