ers that with the Roosevelt sentiment

forces were marching on to victory.
Then he ridiculed Roosevelt's compar

White House. which vas 20 much like
the thoughtful and conuderato Lin.
coin.
Again whom Senator Proctor Of
Vermont died, with whom Roosevelt
had had some differences, and he wal
asked II he was not sorry, he replied
that he was sorry It vas not Senator
Hale. This sounds very much like
Lincoln!
I'm his book on The Rough Riders

sloated over 90 brave . deed!
ION his trip down the Mississippi
river with the Waterways Commission
he had . pilot peremptorNy dismissed

for no cause whatever. Lincoln al

Because q government amploya

Of Bryan to aid him. The minute the
delegates and tho people, complaisant
enough 1t tho start. found out den
nitsly that tho bosses were out to de-
feat Wilson. the nomination of Wilson
became certain. not only because he
was tho strongest candidate the dem.
