Roosevelt's Weights.

If Roosevelt was not weighted by
his own record he could easily defeat
Taft in any state primary, for Taft's
defense of tariff extortion is indefen-
sible. But Roosevelt is man who is
carrying even greater weights than the
President. Roosevelt has worked with
Aldrich andI Cannon, with Hanna anc
Quay, with Addicks and Cox, with
Hartman and Morgan, with the stee]
trust and the harvester trust, and is
now in the hands of George W. Perk-
ms, who organized the harvester trust
and is one of the directors of the steel
trust.
Roosevelt's talk about the rule of
the people sounds reasonable and fair,
but his work as public official has
been side by side with the enemies OF
the people. Roosevelt can not make
his record square with his public
speeches. Manchester Democrat.
