ested The conference was satlsfac
tory to the visitors. who met later and
adopted resolutions indorsing the gov
ernor's attitude with respect to organ
ICED labor.
The resolutions begin with pre-
amblc, in which it is set out that 'in-
formation has reached the workers of
New Jersey that efforts are being
made to place his cxcellency, Governor
Wilson, in 4 false position as to his at

Mr.. Roosevelt is Mistaken

1t must be clear to any reasonable
man that the precedent which forbids
for the third term has reference only
to third consecutive term. Theo-
dore Roosevelt's statement yesterday.
Mr.. Roosevelt is mistaken. His mis-
take is emphasized by reference to the
case of Gen. Grant.
Grant retired from the presidency at
the close of his second term. March
1877. Four years later most deter
mined effort was made to nominate
him for third tcrm-not "a third con

The Roosevelt Candidacy

The American people. to make
Roosevelt president, would have to
discard their ideals of constitutional
republic, governed according to law
and representative of the settled will
of the people, and rear new ideal of
a one-man absolutism, governed accord
ing to no constitution, no laws, not
even according to the popular will but
according to the whims and caprices.
the prejudices and special favors. of
the man who was called president.
They would have to abandon their set
tied purpose to reduce the tariff to
revenue basis because they would be
placing supreme power in the hands of
a man who has never lifted his finger
or said an encouraging word in the
cause of tariff reform. They would
have to give up their hopes for cconom-
ical administration. because they would
be choosing master who has set new
limits for official and government ex-
travagance. They would have to sur
render their determination to smash
the trusts and restore competition in
big business because they would be
exalting ruler who looks on compe-
tition as survival of the dark ages to
he used only to control the poor, but
never to be permitted to interfere with
the affairs of the extremely rich.
To be plain about it, Rooseveltism
offers little more of hope TO the Ameri-
can people than does Taftism, while it
cloaks even greater dangers. There is
no longer republican party; what was
once that has become number of war
ring tribes. One of those tribes fights
under the flag of plutocracy; another
her the flag of absolutism and en-
pre- the third, which alone preserves
and cherishes the original ideals of the
party, is feeble and negligible in
strength and it's gallant leader Ian
guiehes in his tent, stricken and heart
sick because of human treachery.
If government of the people. by the
people and for the people, administer
ed according to law and under the con-
stitution is to be preserved; if the
tariff graft is to be scotched; if special
privilege is to be effectively grappled
with; if competition and not socialism
ia to the rule the field of industry and
commerce; if economy and simplicity
are to succeed extravaganza and gaudy
display, it is to the democratic party
that the country must turn. Omaha
