Rosine, KY, Sept. 20, 1912.
Editors Herald, Hartford, Ky,
Dear Sirs:-It gives me great pain
to ask to borrow from you that
which ought to be given by others,
but after having been once turned
down by what ought to be my par
ty paper-the Hartford Republican
then | will ask space in your pa
per for the purpose of giving vent
| to my feelings. After consulting
| the voters OF Rosine and other vot-
ing precincts, |, with others, de-
nounce the declaration signed and
reasons for so doing of the II dis
! trict committeeman of various vot-
ing precincts of Ohio county. We
do not blame any one for not see
ing as we see, neither do we find
fault with them for not voting as
we DO, but We do blame them for
being so radical in words and ac--
tons and in the denunciation of
the Republican party and w. H.
Taft's administration. We further
believe Theodore Roosevelt has
been one of our greatest statesmen
for both the rich and poor, but we
denounce his present precedent as
being dangerous to the American
people, both financially and politi-
cally.
We further believe If Theodore
Roosevelt had not become a politi-
cal bolter he could have had the
nomination in 1916 for President
in the Republican party without OPP
position. But We believe MIN to be
like many others in letting his po-
litical opinion for fame far exceed
his judgment, and 1t has cast a
gloom over his past record and so
blighted his future usefulness that
he will go down in history as many
another once good and useful man
-unregretted and not worthy of
even an imprint on our minds.
Even our grandchildren will ask:
who was the first Republican to
REBEL and split the Republican par
ty and cause a defeat?" The an
swer will be Theodore Roosevelt"
"And for what cause " Answer:
ITO excel George Washington and
do what U. S. Grant could not do"
Now, who paid him for all this, the
people, or such as Perkins,
Hines and the Standard Oil Com
pany?
Now IL we believed for a moment
all these little sucklings that are
shouting, dancing and
believing and using such utter
ances as T. r. says, such as Steam
Roller Bosses" Trusts" big Bus
mess" and Common People," was
rot a pretense and a bait for suck
ers, We might shut our eyes and
swallow it. But not believing the
American people ought to be too
quick to act, for one think 1t is
best to let T. R. have years to
iolve his problem and to give the
PEOPLE a chance to study his Wild
AT schemes and theories.
! am fearful the newborn
'aby party will prove to be a bas-
ard, conceived in sin and born in
niquity. Its adopted father T. R.
VIII In due time denounce its orr
lin, II 1t does not always concede
hat he is the great 81 AM" And
When his bugle sounds, his follow
RS must become alarmed, forsake
ather, mother and all other kim
red and follow him. And when
hey fail to rally, T. r. will cause
he earth to quake and a great up
eaval. Then T. r. will open wide
is mouth and do as he tried to do
t the National Convention at Chi
ago-swallow and digest the Re-
ublican party in 80 days.
Now the party emblem or device
all o. X. Some still want to
ling to the log cabin, other T. RS
icture. Now, If I was a Bull
iooser, | would want the picture
weasel as my party emblem, SO
3 face front would attract more
ttention than its hinder parts.
low this is a campaign for fun and
mats all Us poor devils will get
ut of it. PEH4Y CRowDER.
