Of Col. Roosevelt greeting with cor

His pleasure at renewing the acquain-
tanceE OF the unbroken prairie made

time be returns TO this state, and ii
La safe 10 say tina. Col. Roosevelt is
too broad-minded and genuine a man
10 forget the early day associations
and his friends in North Dakota. He
has repeatedly stated tina, his coming
% North Dakota made him a presi-
lent. 1t gave him a knowledge of
al classes Of men; he experienced
himself the hardghips OF certain occu-
Iations; he became identified with
he hopes and the fears Of the men
who make new states; he participat-
ID in their fortunes and misfortunes.
This was an education which he could
lot acquire elsewhere. and gave him
he right to declare for the square
leal" and to place himself on the
same platform expressed SO we'll by
Henry George. Il am for men," and
;ol. Roosevelt goes even farther and
declares for the women, too.
So the effort to make a little poli,i.
al capital out Of the things THAI
Roosevelt did and did no, do on his
'isit to North Dakota. and to use the
occasion TO encourage jealousy and
among the republicans OF
his state, is easily seen to be the
heapest kind Of demagogism Col
Roosevelt himself set his mark of
on such campaign tactics
It the Fargo meeting by his example, ,
conferences and advice with all fac
ions of the party and all classes of
esidents of the state.
