The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1910-11-18

I
cided by ~the VEST"
Had the verdict Of Republican
Now York been more dcisive-had
the year around Republicans tn re
who reject Rooseveltis Socialism and
New Nationalism recorded a whole
vote each against Il instead OF the
half vote of abstention-had the De-
moeratic majority ben 10000 in
stead OF half that-thc force of the
rebuke might have punctured even
Mr.. Roosevelt's enormous egotism
and moved him 10 retire into silence.
AS it is Mr.. Roosevelt will have
explanations 10 Offer whose purpo-t
is easily suggested by his desire for
Third Term.
That Mr.. Roosevelt will not re-
nounce his Third Term ambition is
sure This is proved by the fact that
he preferred TO have his faithful fol-
I lowers in New York defeated with
it than be victorious without IL
Mr.. Roosevelt might and could have
saved Mr.. Stimson by public re-
newal of his pledge given on election
night in 1901. But though challeng-
ed, defied, invited, solicited, and even
implored 20 renew that pledge. Mr..
Roosevelt would not
hr.r,s. t,,<a and DO
sire TOO hot for his powers of self
sacrifice to relinquish. 1t was not
relinquishsd. What th.n?
With these facts in mind and this
record before. US We have only to
Coz -idcr what is he habitual and
ev n Necessary course of the dema-
gos u who feds himself going down.
By such a consid ration We can reach
( a conclusion of the highest pnobabilit,
as to Mr.. Roosevelt's future course
We have also To remainder that
Mr.. Roosevelt is very Tar from hay-
| ing exhausted the ammunition which
the ars ais of state socialism which
amply provide for his use. Men OF
real intellect and of original genius
and not merely initiative talent
have attended 10 the manufacture and
supply Of this ammunition in ample
quantities.
Hence We may expect Mr.. Roose-
welt TO become more radical in aim
more vituperaive in utterance. more
extravagant in promises Of immediate
milleniums, than ever before
His appeal having been uniformly
/ 10 chronic discomfort, and his stron-
ger appeals having met with ever
increasing success until now, - is
/ inevitable that he should conclude
/ that for the first time he has failed
because this time he did not make
the dose strong enough
Mr.. Roosevoit's new Na.ionalism
had a program rather short and COM
/ paratively mild. That is to say, il
alramed not so much by its demands
as by its TENDENCIES and through a
/ popular perception of what II nigh;

made one panic, Mr.. Roosevelt would

conjunction save for its effects upon
himself.
We do not undertake to say what
will b. Mr.. Rooseyelt's next addition
TO his stock Of political nostrums. II
may b. universal old age pensions
or government ownership of railways
or any other OF the huge bundle OF
state socialistc schemes for making
everybody virtuous, happy and rich
out OF hand.
We merely predict that when the
political fair opens again Mr.. Roose-
welt will be there with his bench
and torches, shouting more ferocious'
ly than ever, and trying to win new
applause by means OF fiercer Language
1t will be by ever ranker agitation
by ever stronger denunciation, and by
ever better Indictment of man against
man and class against class, We be.
lieve that he will endeavor 10 regain
the ground lost by him last Tuesday
and thus press forward again towar
the goal of all his ambitions-anoth.
