The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1910-10-09
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Is Declared to Be Menace to the
Republic.

The Picayune says Some days ago
correspondent of the Picayune Sc
verely reproved this paper for having
declared, in the course of some editorial
remarks, that Colonel Roosevelt was the
most dangerous man in the United
States.
Such an expression by Democratic
journal is one thing, but like declara
ton by leading New York Republican
is vastly more to the point.
According to the New York Sun, a
pronounced Republican paper, Charles
H. Young, president of the Republican
Club in 1908 and until April 1900, a
model of party regularity since he en-
tered politics in 1887 and a consistent
Supporter of President Taft and Gov
ernor Hughes, resigned from the club
last week and announced his intention
to support John A. Dix and the Demo
cratic State ticket
Mr.. Young has made up his mind that
if Henry L. Stimson is elected Gov
ernor, Theodore Roosevelt will be
nominated for President in 1912
And if that man ever becomes presi-
dent again" said Mr.. Young, well
never get him out of the White House.
He is the most dangerous man in the
history of the Republic, the gravest
menace to liberty, the most alarming
figure who has risen in world politics
since Waterloo.
In giving his reasons for leaving the
club and for supporting a Democratic
candidate. Mr. Young said among other
things:
I'VE need to defeat Stimson to put
out of power immediately the most ar
rogant boss in the history of the party.
Two years ago we were decrying the
Democracy because they made up
state committee that was opposed by
the delegates from the districts in
which the committeeman lived. We
called that an outrageous usurpation of
power. 1t was, but not more SO than
the larceny in the Republican State
Convention performed in the name of
reform. At Saratoga the king, against
the will of the delegates, named a COM
mittee to frame the platform.
Because the party, under the present
boss, is an anti-Supreme Court party,
an a1ti-law and order party and because
it has permitted Theodore Roosevelt to
abolish representative government.
IF Stimson is elected I feel that
Roosevelt would be President again and
that we should have nothing but wind
storms of four years-if we ever get
him out. am not alone among loyal
Republicans in the belief that it would
be difficult to get him out. Some people
may ridicule that view There were
honest citizens of the French Republic
who ridiculed those who warned against
Louis Napoleon.
Because l believe in laws, not de-
struct1on or any other form OF the New
Nationalism, believe in enforcing cor
porate honesty by law, and / do not be-
lieve in scattering shot all over the
earth to kill or MAIN men or corpora
lions just for the fun of the thing or to-
have a bully good time. | believe in
sincerity, not buncombe. | believe in
unfolding the dignity of our courts, and
/ can not follow the new leader of the
Republican party in his attacks on
them .sq@
Thoughtful people, who are acquaint-
ed with the political history of the great
nations of the earth, recognize that if
Mr. Roosevelt shall be successful in the
dictatorial, despotic and radical move
ment he has undertaken, in carrying
with him a great and overpowering
body of the American people, the Re
public will soon come to an end and the
empire take its place
