II was Theodore Roosevelt's candidate for
Governor of New York two years ago, and
Roosevelt and have been very close political
and personal friends but / am opposed to
Roosevelts conduct at present. There is no
justification or reason or need for Theodore
Roosevelt in this day and generation" said
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, in a
general discussion of political conditions at
San Francisco.
"Theodore Roosevelt has done more harm to
the advancement of pure political and better
governmental conditions than dny other one man
O, combination Of men, that has intermeddled
in political and governmental affairs IN d great
many gears.
II am Republican because the Republican
party is the party of Progress, and / am pro-
greSSiOe. | am supporting President Taft
because he is the real progressive of the Re-
publican party.
"Under the leadership of such progressives
as President Taft and the men who have re-
NAMED loyal to him after generation of
fighting for better and higher things in the
party and in the government, the people at
large are promised the very best results obtain
able from our form of government"
Secretary Stimson declared that 20 years
ago. when Roosevelt went into politics for the
first time, conditions were infinitely more
rotten than they had ever been before.
"He took every advantage of these con.
ditions and played the game Of politics accord
ing to the rules laid down by Tom Plat, >
continued the Secretary.
"Then he continued to play the game under
the revised rules of Ben Odell. In those days
and since until only few months ago RoOse.
welt was the beneficiary of the rotten system as
carried on by the old guard and black horse
cavalry"
