.Roosevelt's Interpretation

Washington, D. c., Nov. 4
President Roosevelt to day gave
his Interpretation of the victory of
the republican party at the pools
yesterday when he said to the
newspaper men whom he received
in his office:
This administration has meant
a steady effort and progress which
should never be allowed to deviate
into an unwise radicalism on one
hand nor into an unwise conserva-
,tism on the other. The nomina-
tion. of Taft was the triumph over
the reactionary conservation and
and his election was a trimph over
the unwise and radicalism."
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-11-06

hardest campaigns I have ever
been in With none or very few
newspapers supporting me, with a
host Of orators going all over the
state telling fairy tales of my
administration, [ was compelled
to go directly to the people. In
spite OF money, with no expend-
iture Of money on my part, my
administration has been indorsed.
I owe aothing to anyone but the
peopleand ! promise to give just
as good an administration in the
future as ] have in the past in the
interests Of the people.

cuse ms from making longer
speech. II thank you for your
kindness
The governoE held an informal
receptionin the hotel lobby for a
few moments, after which he was
taken 70 the executive residence.
TheT governor has had a very
strenuous campaign and is ia need
Of a long rest. He has earned the
the right to it, and should be re-
lieved 5fany needless tasks until
he rec1perates.

CORROTHERS AND THE
RICHMOND PLANET.

From the Advocate, Portland, Ore.
The Rev. DR.. S. L. Corrothers, OF
Washington, D. c., is brave and
courageous and 1evel-headed champi-
on of the rights and privileges of the
Negro race. In a recent letter from
his pen to the Washington Bee the
Doctor takes to task a correspondent
of the Richmond Planet, who, it ap-
pears, had replaced him, with the
ranks of those favoring the nomina-
ton of Secretary Taft for president.
Corrothers wants it to be distinctly
understood that unless there shall be
a right-about-face Of this Roosevelt
Taft policy regarding the Negro as
an American citizen, he expects tan
gible recognition Of the Negroes
rights have been guaranteed.
The Bee follows up DR.. Corrothers
with an editorial in the following
vein: That there is a great deal Of
dissatisfaction among the colored Eot-
ers cannot be denied, and if we are
to believe present indications there
will be revolt among the colored
Americans. Colored orators and pol
iticians who are favorable to the cleo

That District Attorney Cobb will

That Charlie Hall is slated for Z

dental appointment, if the election
goes right?
That Taft, if elected president, will
make several big appointments to
cOlored men?
That ]. c. Napier is down for a
big plum here in Washington?
That Nelson Cruise, the silver
tongue orator of Missouri, will con-
troll the West?
That a $4,000 appointment awaits

That the knockers of The Bee
