Roosevelt the ambitious egotist. the

to reappear. But We fancy the other
thought-that this is a "one-man

upon this point that we purpose to
speak with somewhat personal EN-.
phasis.
With the narrow escape from the
tragedy fresh in mind, we say that
Colonel Roosevelt was not the creator
of the Progressive movement, that he
is not the guarantor OF its permanency
nor his life necessary to it's ultimate
success.

The speech that Col Roosevelt de.
livered at Milwaukee with a bullet in
his body was the most dramatic cam
paign utterance on record.
Just before he rose to speak Henry
T. Cochems, head Of the Progressive
Party's Speakers Bureau and a Mil
waukee man, came forward and said:
in presenting Col Roosevelt TO you,
good citizens, good fathers and good
civilians, you should know that the
Colonel comes to you in the spirit of
a good soldier.
LAS we were leaving the hotel a
few moments ago a dastardly hand
raised revolver and fired shot at
him, and the Colonel speaks as a SOL
der with a bullet in his breast; where.
we don't know
A shudder ran through the audience,
accompanied by cries of oh, Oh"
from the women present who made up
half OF the audience.
Col Roosevelt stepped forward and
was greeted with a cheer that shook
the building He had the old grin on
his face, and it was hard for the audi
ence to credit the statement that he
stood there like a soldier with the
lead OF an enemy in his body.
That there was no question of this
was shown by little incident. When
the Colonel started TO read his notes
he took his spectacle case from the
vest pocket, and turning to those just
about him, exhibited it, Indicating
where the bullet of the assassin had
nicked it. This brought another sym
pathetic cheer, to which Mr. Roosevelt
responded with one of his smiles and
began his talk.
Friends, | shall ask you to be as
quiet as possible" he said. 81 don't

more than that to kill a Bull Moose.

try my best. (Cheers).
And now, friends, | want to take

adjustment of social and industrial
justice in this country is, we believe.
nearer by a quarter of century be-
cause OF the work unselfshly done BY
this great man.
But he did not create the cause He
has made Progressives, but he did
not make Progressivism. He is, it
has been said, the political parent"
of Folk and Hadley and Johnson and
Wilson and others who have won
prominence in the faith. But he did
not implant in the breasts of men the
aspirations for freedom and justice
which the cause embodies,
The principles which now are set
forth for the first time by great
political party as a contract with the
people" have long been the growing
beliefs of millions of citizens. Roose-
Welt during his Presidency began to
interpret them and to put into con
crete form and phrase these aspira-
tons and convictions.
Like all effective leaders of historic
movements, he crystallized and gave
visible substance to the deep-rooted
| iongings OF men. He voiced what mil
lions felt. But the cause was born in
the heart Of this nation. and there lies
| its strength. Even though that bullet
had not been proyidentially detected
that marvellous fraction of an inch and
he had fallen martyr, the cause
would still have gone on, because it
is in harmony with the irresistible
forces of human growth and evolution.
Had Grant died in the field, would
that have meant the permanent dis
ruption of the Union? His loss would
have cost battles, but it could not have
prevented the ultimate triumph of his
cause. So if the Progressive leader
had fallen, there would have been pro
found sorrow for the passing of a
loyal friend and leader, but no feeling
of hopelessness.
If this seems a cold and calculating
view let US say that we believe it is
the view Theodore Roosevelt would
! have his followers take We believe
that had he lost his life the epitaph he
would wish to be written OF him would
be that he had served well, but that.
as he himself said In the face of death.
the cause would go on without him.
This was what moved him to that
supreme proof of devotion last Mon
day night. This has been his spirit
since the beginning. He showed it
when, confronting the formidable nom,
ination of Governor Wilson, he decid-
ed to make the fight. He said he felt
like a soldier under orders: if he was
summoned even to lead forlorn hope,
| he must obey.
And this, we believe, is the view OF
the great body of Progressives. They
look upon Roosevelt as an unequaled
figure of brave and sagaciouS leader
ship; they are profoundly grateful
for the strength that he gives to the
movement, and they rejoice that he is
spared to head the march to victory.
But they know the cause would not
have died with him, because it is
founded on the eternal principles Of
Justice, because it is the cause of
humanity.
