John o. Yeiser has issued another OF
his unique letters favorlng the candidacy
OF Theodore Roosevelt for president II
urges his followers to keep at the good
work Of arranging the big feed when 1t
is hoped Roosevelt may be induced to
talk to all over the long distance tele-
phone. Here is the letter signed by
Neiser:
AS a committeeman Of the republican
party feel that you would encourage
interest in the party in every way posi-
BILE regardless of whether It is for La
Toilette, Taft or Roosevelt. Whatever
interest may be aroused for any good
republican will not be labor lost But II
no contests are made, partisans lose their
spirit and the opposition Is the gamer.
We have great respect for the following
of La Toilette and Taft but there are
large numbers of people in Nebraska and
elsewhere who favor Roosevelt regard
less of expressions about his not want
ing the position, In this country where
all able bodied men are subject to draft
for the rank and file Of the army, why
should we not favor drafting the COM
mander-in-chief in the same way? That
is exactly what we are going to do. And
this is how it's done.
Would like to have yOu suggest good
Roosevelt man at large and one from
your locality who You 1 ink would con-
sent, IL selected, to vi, as presidential
electors for Roosevelt at the April pri-
maries We would also like to have You
get a few friends together and plan to
organize a club for Roosevelt to affiliate
with US in whoopinS it up for T. r. II
you cannot do this yourself, you will do
the party great service by having some
Roosevelt supporter take hold of the mat
ter and comply with this request, unless
it is already being given proper stten-
ton. Taft is man pre-eminentlS quail
fled for the supreme bench and should
have that position where he would be
q master of law. We feel that although
he would recognize a principle of law
wherever encountered, he cannot tell a
political scheme or scalawag. On this
account and because of trusting too
much in his supposed friends he is not
as we'll qualified for the office of presi-
dent as he would be for the other po-
sition.
la Toilette, too, is a great man, who
will do valiant service in the senate and
who will succeed Roosevelt as president.
Many people wish his success now as
Taft's friends wish him success. How
ever, the question of success we are in
terested in Is that of the republican
party, which has been progressive since
the days of slavery. We have praise for
all good men, whether standpatter or
progressive. I. r. is the one man, how
ever. with whom we can win, and we
know he Is the right stuff. II we talk
other candidates we would require con-
ventIons and discussions and could never
agree. There are to be no conventions
no IFS 'ands' or butts about 1t, This
movement is for Roosevelt or bust, and
we don't live in a busted state.
I'VE desire to have all of the members
possible Join in a series of banquets con-
nected by long distance phone.
However. II any are 80 situated they
cannot Join in our little revelry at the
banquet, include them as members just
the same for a sort Of Red Cross division
20 cheer on the discouraged.
go right on and arrange for the bic
feed In the usual way and Just as you
want Il locally, with such speakers al
you desire personally present We viii
