THE ROOSEVELT CANDIDACY.
Mr.. J. G. Rayburn Of Hamilton Tells
What He Thinks Of ia Protest
Against the Man and His
Policies.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
We have been told that it is the
duty of every citizen to go to the
polls and vote. and deem it not out
Of place to ask few questions and
say a few words not too near the polls
before vote. Thomas Jefferson said
that "the art of government consists
in being honest" When was a boy l
heard in a little log house negro
preacher say in his sermon you can't
educate the truth John D. Rookie
Teller might say that candidate would
make the best President for our coun-
try and the people. but if he doesn't
favor a law that increases my wealth
| won't vote for him. But Uncle Sans
soldiers won't say If that candidate
won't favor bill to increase their
pensions they will not vote for him.
He will say, Il went into the war, met
the enemy, and fought for my coun-
try. and not for myself, and few ex-
ira dollars for my pocket won't keep
me from voting for 1t now"
Roosevelt said that under no cir
cumstances would he be candidate
for President Then he said ''if. the
people want me l will accept" When
four governors told him to come out
were they the people? When major
ity of one-third of the voters of Hin
OILS say they want him is that the
people of the state? Did he wait for
the people to say that they wanted
him, or did he throw the "if' with his
hat into the ring and try to force the
people to say they wanted him? God
may have built or directed the build
ing of an ark to preserve wild beasts
from the flood SO Roosevelt could
slaughter them to crafty his pride
and ambition; that, is a question be-
tween him and God But America
was not established for him to dis
charge y. 8. soldiers, pilots of steam
boats and others and push them off
that ground that they fell heir to in
free America fair and impartial
trial. Nor do we want the drunkard
taken out to have his hide scut up at
a pubic whipping post. Once when a
drunkard was taken to an old Indian
chief to be punished he said: Take
him away and bring to me the man
that sold him the whiskey" But Ted
dy says to the people that sell the
stuff: IF you will give me cam
paign fund and your votes will par
don you and punish him.
Roosevelt says he wants to be Pres
ident again because his policies have
not been carried out Not the policies
of Washington. Jefferson or Lincoln,
not the policies that the mighty pen
guided by the thoughts of men and
the wisdom of heaven touched into
life, but Il, Theodore. Roosevelt, MY
policies. !" Do we, the people in free
America, with that inherited blood
that handled the flint1ock musket for
liberty against oppression want Theo-
dore Roosevelt's policies carried out?
For one of our number. "by the Eter-
nal" I say NO. For the welfare of
ourselves, our homes and our coun-
try let US maintain the fundamental
principles of our government and
thus give every citizen his full share

politically as we'll as physically.
"As a homestretch racer an Iowa
corn field has no equal says the
Marshalltown Times Republican.
Taft can be beaten in Iowa. There
is no doubt about that. But If he is
beaten it is quite probable that some
of those politicians who have hand
in the game will also be beaten" pre-
diets the Fairfield Ledger.
at is not an easy matter to organ
lie new political party. says the
Fort Dodge Messenger. New par
ties can not be made OF new voters
brought down from heaven for the
purpose They must be made of the
same old material now composing the
the old parties"
at Is now up to every Iowa Repub-
lican, by a process of introspection,'
says the Burlington Hawk-Eye, TO
determine whether he is Republi-
can, a mongrel or Democrat. If he
does not like this classification, he
can fix up one in there latitudinarian
