Respect for Roosevelt.

"This now movement has a marvellous

But his error Is correspondinsly the
greater. No political party was ever
founded on an individual. petitioning
with open arms for favors from a party
one day, and doing all In his power the
next day to wreck that party, That IS
the instability of an individual. We
must have principle on which TO found

Continuing. General Hicks said there
were two great political parties founded
on enduring principles. He then sus
sested tho honest points OF difference

they favored with reference to these
issues. Briefly he discussed the reasons
why the Republican position on these is
sues was the correct one.
General Hicks eulosi1ed President Taft
as the greatest statesman since Lincoln.
Then. in a brilliant peroration, he COM
pared the Republican party with the
statue Of Liberty.
"on rocky Bedloe's island stands the

General Hicks followed Senator

that the people had not the opportunl'
