Mr.. Rooseveit's Address.
/ During the last few years. 1t has
become increasingly evident to al;
really far-sighted men that it is i'm
oeratively necessary TO grapple
the problems OF the present lay in
! the spirit in when Abraham Lincoln
and the men o. ms day, fifty years
ago, grappled with the then existing
| problems. We cannot show ourselves
tine true heirs OF Lincoln and his fe,.
lows by merely praising what they
did In the dead past; the sincerity OF
our loyalty to their ideals must be
shown by the resolute efficiency with
which we apply these ideals to pres
ent day needs working in a sanely
progressive spirit, not being nised
into following wild experiments any
more than Lincoln was misled. but
being equally resolute to follow Lin
coins course in reflsing TO put our
! destiny in the hands Of the bourbon
and til. reactionary
New NationaIism.
Much alarm some OF 1t sincere
some Of II entirely insincege .as
been expressed about the new ma
tionalism. The new nationalism
really means nothing but the effic en-
application to new conditions of the
g old and fundamental moralities; in
accordance with which our forefatb.
ers worked in the days when they
founded this republ c, In accordance
(. with which our fathers worked in the
II days when they saved the republic
\ We are trying to apply to the eco
\ monte and social conditions Of the
twentieth century the doctrine Which
Abraham Lincoln enuneiated fifty-uns
years ago, when he said Our op
, ponents held the liberty of one maS
to be absolutely nothing when In con
nict with another mans right OF
! property; we, on the contrary are for
both the nan and the dollar; bu,
in case OF conflict, the man before the
dollar" In other words, as | said in
: my 0sawatomie speech and as | re-
peated in New York, the new nation
1 al SIN represents the struggle Of free
men to gain and to mold the right
OF self.government as against the spe.
cial interests, who twist the methods
OF free government into machinery
for defeating the popular will. AT
every stage and under all circumstan.
ces the essence of tive struggle Is to
equal'ze opportunity, to destroy PR.
. yilege, and TO give to the life and
!, citizenship Of every individual the
/ | highest possible value both 10 nlmselt
: and to the commonwealth. Honest.
t'nid men may momentarily be mis-
led by leaders who are neither hon
est nor timid, into m;sinterpretlng
our purpose: but as certain as
stand here, the American people will
Fin the end, overwhelmingly ana de-
c'sively declare themselves for the
principles and the purpose set forth,
Our intention IS TO extend the genn-
Inc principles OF democracy into our
industrial and economic, as veil as
:. our political life. We hold that
great democracy must be progress
