national government. And we want
Theodore Roosevelt to be President of
the United ST ties. because we want
him 70 help US get those laws for the
national COVER. ment.'
Theodore Roosevelt was never so
blue in his life" he continued, "'as he
was when he saw the great wave of
public sentiment growing ali over this
country for his nomination for the
Presidency again. When ! was down
at the Governors conference at Spring
Lake last summer called to see
Roosevelt and told him that nine out
of every ten men in Kansas wanted
him to go back to the White House
And he said that he didn't want n
man who was a friend of his to talk to
him that way. He said that he couldni
think of taking another nomination.
.,When I got back to Kansas I kept
writing him on the subject. Others
kent telling Mr.. Roosevelt that he
alone could save the Republican party
and they kept telling him h a the
sentiment for him was so strong tnat
it could not be suppressed.
1T thank God that he has the u
aye to come out and say that he is
willing to lead the tight again. He
had a place in history that was secure
against all the world. I told him to-
day that the greatest thing ne ever
did Ia his life he did over at Coinmpus
he other day. He pronounced me
greatest declaration of human rlghts
since I.incoln's time,
.sThe COLUMBUS speech doesn't please
]. P. Morgan" continued Governor
Stubs: 1T doesn't please the mar VINO
has II best of it, but 1t goes to the
heart of every American workingman
and every man who owes a square
deal Roosevelt is nearer to the hearts
Of the American people than any Amer
lear who has lived since Lincoln.
R~oosevelt's speech at Columbus didnt
go an inch farther than Lincoln did
when he was on earth. When they
call that speech crazy they may just
as well denounce Lincoln. for he eX-
presseI the same sentiments.
1.-THE honest business man does not
object to the theories of Roosevelt. 1t
is the fellow who wants the best of it
who objects.
srhe talk Of Roosevelt at Columbus
.yas a talk in behalf Of the everyday
man. What are you going to do about
il when a good law passed by the Leg
islature and signed by the Governor is
voided by the Courts. The bred Scott
was nullifed under the leader
