thousand people greeted, Colonel Theo-

The most important. feature of the

Roosevelt made in the great audlto-
rum at Houston. His choice for his
subject Civic Righteousness, and IN
enlarging upon his theme said many
things which so caught the fancy OF
the crowd as TO cause them 10 ire
Quently break into applause and occa-
: sionally into cheers.
You must be judged" he said, by
the kind of men you put in pubhc Of
I flee, by the kind of legislation that you
e insist upon these men giving you, anu
q upon the way in which you insist upon
t their enforcing the laws. If you elect
y a bad man by popular vote, it does not
help you that you get him by voting
e for him directly instead of having the
n legislature vote for him. The point IS,
C. is he a straight man or crook! WIN
A. this preliminary he began his argu'
g, ment in behalf of civic righteousness
nd Such righteousness, he argued, shoulu
I'M begin in the conduct of affairs at nome
ng and then extend to outside a1alrs.
The danger to this republic VIII D'
