taken on that issue by Senator Beverdge.
When the Roosevelt train reached Col
fax the colonel spoke from the rear plat
form to a crowd which had gathered at
the station.

mel Roosevelt said, but l believe in 1t as
a means Of grace and not as an end Of
grace. Those of you who are familiar
with the old time theology will understand
that. l believe that material prosperity is
absolutely necessary, but on 1t you must
build a higher life. Prosperity will avail
nothing If we do not have the ringht kind
of citizenship. If you politics is crooked,
in the end 1t will taint the whole state"

party; he merely stood by the bulk OF the
party"

should use different methods and different
tactics. 1t would be ruin to the nation
If the soldiers declined to adopt the new
