Mr.. ROOSEVELT AND REclPRoc.

Yesterday the lntelligencer referred
to Col. Theodore Roosevelts endorse
ment OF the Canadian reciprocity
treaty. A steadied EFFORT has been
made TO create a prejudice against
President Taft on account of the reel.
procity treaty. Many Republican
farmers have been lead to believe that
the treaty was in some respects a
surrender OF their interests. The In
telligencer has many times pointed
out that this was not the case; that
the Canadian treaty surrendered no
legitimate interest OF no American
producer. At Grand Rapids, Mich. on
February 18th. 1911, Col Theodore
Roosevelt, in a public address. used
the following words:
Here. friends in Michigan, right on
the northern frontier. I have the pecul-
Tar right 10 say n word OF congratula-
tion 20 you and to all OF US upon the
likelihood that we shall soon have closer

One year and one day later. after
the reciprocity treaty had been de-
feated by the action OF Canada, Mr.
Roosevelt. in his Lincoln day address
before the Republican club OF New
York city. again commended the prin
olpies of the reciprocity treaty and
again put himself on record directly
approving it. Here is what he said:
