ROOT ON THE SITUATION.
Continued from Page One.)
They see only the general result, and
if it should happen that the admin
istratior can't hold it's own party to-
gether. the national convention would
be quite likely to look FOR a Moses
to lead them out of the wilderness
and they might go to Mr.. Roosevelt
or they might go to one of the far
:"ore radical leaders who are now
looming up on the political horizon
N the north and middle West. Make
no mistake my friends SO far as this
election in the state of New York
beats any relation to national affairs,
Republican votes for the Republican
ticket strengthened the administra-
ton in the party. and Republican
votes against the ticket tend to weak
Ell and break down the administra-
ton. No one understands this better
than Mr.. Roosevelt. No one knows
better than he that the strenuous
efforts he is rnaking in behalf of Re-
publican candidate, not merely in
New York. but in q dozen Of other
state are services in aid of the Taft
administration and tend towards the
re nomination of Mr.. Taft in 1912.
1T is said that to have Mr.. Slim
son in the governors chair would
promote Mr.. Roosevelts political
fortunes. The people who. say this
d, not mean what is undoubtedly
true that Mr.. Stimson will be such
Z governor as to reflect credit on
every one who has supported him. In
any other sense the proposition is
BASED on an entire misunderstanding
Of the man y X x y No man can
use him and no man can make a
stepping stone Of him. He is as big
and strong a man at 43 as Taft or
Roosevelt was at that age. He runs
in that class He is of the quality
of which great public servants are
made, and no matter how the vote
goes next month, modest. unassuming
and unselfish as he is. great ca.
rcer awaits him because he is such
a man as the people greatly need"
The idea that Mr.. Roosevelt con-
templates an attack upon our judicial
system or that that system is in dam
ger from him or from any one else, is
purely fanciful and devised for cam
,paign purposes only.
What gave Mr.. Roosevelt his lead
ership of the Saratoga convention?
He had no office, he had no patron
age: he had no money; he could neith-
er punish or reward any one: and the
controlling political organization of
the Republican party was against him.
How did it happen that majority of
the delegates voted with him and
against the organization?
The answer that there was an is
sue before the convention in which
the people of the state were deeply in
terested. Mr.. Roosevelt expoused the
right side of that issue against the
Republican organization and naturally
enough he furnished the element of;
leadership to the side he was with. A
majority of the delegates voted with
him because upon that issue the peo.
pie who wanted them were with him.
The issues was revolt against the
tyranny of the party machines and
party machinery. 1t was part of
that great rebellion which has been
going on all over this union"

cratic nominee for governor Senator
