You are playing the same part OF
deceitful cant, humbug and hypocrisy.
why do You not denoNnce the great
fraud attempted Dy Mr.. Roosevelt
when. through the q Of enterprising
lagents apparently we'll supplied with
money, he had an enormous number

Southern contests came before the ma.
tional committee 80 many OF them col.

You know that one OF the Roosevelt
leaders, Mr.. Frank A. Munsey. in his
newspaper, the Washington Times.
publicly admitted that these contests
were worked up simply FOR psyche.

Iof the North and West into the idea
that there was enough popular de.
to secure the Republican nomination.
You know very we'll that Mr.. Roose-

truth and justice. and you know that
If he could have had his way he would
lhave packed the Republican national

Mr.. Roosevelt is Unfair and Two
-. Faced.
Your statements and ~ Mr.. Roose-
|velt's recent actions and statements
tshow clearly the sort OF men you arc
and your untitness for high office.
You do not show yourselves to be able
to be fair and to administer equal and
exact justice. Mr.. Roosevelt gained
q great deal Of favorable attention by
preaching constantly about his devo.
ton to the square deal" But he
does not practice what he preach IS,
The square deal Is not found in his
lacts. 1t is characteristic of him that
Ihe will play a shabby trick on any
body in any matter when he thinks IL
will serve his purpose Of self.advance'
ment. He poses as a champion OF
truth, but among those who know him
his word is regarded as a pleasant
joke. His candidacy Is one OF the
most notable examples in our history
of the shameful breaking Of a great
and solemn pledge.
In your speech at Columbus, Ohio
i. lbefore the state convention Of the
third party, you said, as reported, in
reference to Mr.. Roosevelt:

, For. Mr.. Roosevelt, is the two.faced
candidate. That is the conspicuous
;, Feature about him. He is two.faced in
his attitude before the farmers con
corning Canadian reciprocity, which
he, worked for when it was al issue
and now condemns when it is dead
hoping to gain the votes OF man!
, farmers who do not know the truth
about the matter. He is two.faced in
his attitude on the tariff, which he
persistently neglected all the time he
was president, and now pretends
much concern for when he wants the
votes OF workers. He Is ridiculously
ltwo.faced in what he now proposes in
this matter for the workers. He says
he will see to it that there is enough
tariff to enable our Industries to keep
alive, but that II he finds that the
wage workers do not get a reasonable
share Of the benefits OF the duties he
