Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1912-10-05

With this exhortation former Con
gresham j. Adam Bede of Minnesota
helped TO open the republican fight
in New Mexico in the wake of Theo-
dore Roosevelts tour. With John
Maynard Harlan of Chicago, the
other truth teller" who is trailing
the colonel. he addressed a most en-
thusiastic audience.
Bede denounced the towards" who
are afraid to get into the fight and
told his hearers that with the Roose-
welt sentiment waning throughout the
west the Taft forces were marching
on to victory Then he ridiculed
Rooseyelts comparisons OF himself
with Lincoln.
Mr.. Harlan picked TO pieces the
Roosevelt ''pretensions," and his hear
ers applauded vigorously.
This close resemblance" said Bede,
between Colonel Roosevelt and
Abraham Lincoln was not noticed till
the colonel discovered il along with
the Ten Commandments. Then ii
was recalled that he scolded General
Miles in public, making a disgraceful
scene at the White House, which
was SO much like the thoughtful and
cOnsiderate Lincoln
Again when Senator Proctor of
Vermont died, with whom Roosevelt
had had some differences, and he
was asked if he was sorry, he replied
that he was sorry it was not Senator
Hale. This sounds very much like
IIincolnl
In his book on The Rough Riders
he boasts of shooting Spaniard in
the back How Lincoln would have
gloated over so brave a deed!
"On his trip down the Mississippi
river with the waterways commission
he had pilot peremptorily dismis-
sed from service without hearing
and for no cause whatever. Lincoln
always dismissed pilots in that wayl
/ Because government employe
passed his carriage in an auto on
the streets Of Washingto he amend
ed the civil service rules so that 9
department chief could dismiss Z
clerk without hearing and forced
his dismissal under this rule tha
did not exist when the act was com
mitted Lincoln did something like
that almost every morning!
when a schoolgirl on horseback
passed his riding party he is said t
have struck her horse an angry blow
with his riding whip, frightening thu
animal and almost throwing the cir
to the ground. Lincoln always ha'
just such lordly crouch as that
"The closest resemblance, however
; was shown when Mr. Roosevelt
while president. in an article publish
ed everywhere over his own sigma
ture, charged corruption upon Gen
eral Tyner. who was postmaster gen
eral under Grant but at this tm'
was a subordinate in the postoffic'
