Il believe in Theodore Roosevelt
because he knows the tricks of the
enemy Mr.. Murdoch said in ex-
PLANTATION of his stand. Further,
that Roosevelt is against the privi-

a sham issue Let's examine it a
bit. With whom did the President
become affiliated after his arrival in
Washington? The petty men; the
workers? No! Cannon, the most
domineering leader the House has
ever had. Taft excluded from his
councils men like LaFollette and
Cummins. When he wants help in
Massachusetts to whom does he
turn? Why, Crane. In New York 4?
Why, Boss Crane. In Pennsylvania?
Why, Boss Penrose. The boss
issue is an issue of this campaign
because the "privileged interests
can not be downed while the bosses
last. The Republican party can not
be free until the bosses are picked
