The following editorial appeared
in the New York Herald Tuesday,
following Roosevelt's speech in Chi
cago on Monday night: Now comes
the direct and studied appeal to the
mob. The third-term candidate last
night in Chicago delivered a speech
designed to create violence in the re-
publican convention which meets to-
day. Under all circumstances it is
the most dangerous utterance that
has been delivered in this country,
except by sand-lot orators or Indus
trial Workers of the World. The
meaning is as unmistakable as the
meaning of the speeches of Dennis
kearney of more than thirty years
ago. or of Haywood. the leader of
the elements of violence of today.
There can be no mistaking the elab-
crate phrases that the candidate en-
ploys. If the convention decides
against him, II shall be dissolved,
beaten and thrown into the street
His address is an appeal to force"
