Last Fling at Bosses.
In statement issued here to-day.
Theodore Roosevelt charged that Re-
publican leaders were advising their
followers to vote for Woodrow Wilson
If they did not feel that they could
support President Taft. The great con-
cern OF the bosses, the colonel said, was
TO beat the Progressive party. The
statement runs:
Several gentlemen have told me that
certain OF the lesser bosses who are Mr..
Barnes's henchmen-Mr Abe Gruber, for
instance-have recently been publicly ad'
cratic ticket If they didn't feel like
voting the Republican ticket. This is
interesting as fresh proof Of how close
and intimate the alliance is between the
machines, II they can only beat the Pro-
gressives. Mr.. Gruber's attitude merely
illustrates what had already been shown
by the conduct OF Messrs. Penrose,
Barnes and Crane, and the other Repub-
lican bosses in New Jersey, Illinois and
Indiana, precisely as in Kansas. Califor-
mia and oregon, that they had not the
slightest expectation of winning this cleo
tion, and that their one purpose is d.
rectly or indirectly to aid the Democrats
in order that the Progressives may be
beaten.
The financiers and bosses Of this type
are really non-partisan in their seeking.
The men mentioned are nominally Re-
publican in their feelings, but they know
they can always make terms with the
corresponding bosses in the Democratic
party-f they cannot keep their own
party under their own control, and at the
same time In control OF the nation, then
the next best thing from their stand
point is to put the Democratic bosses In
control Of the nation.
When the Abe Grubers, without regard
70 party, are both ready and eager 10
support either OF the old parties, IN
order to beat the Progressive movement,
then Il is surely time for all honest and
decent citizens, without regard to their
past political Affiliations. TO support the
Progressive party.
This is in no ordinary sense OF the
word q mere partisan movement II IL
a movement for honesty and decency ana
for fair play In the world Of industry, no
less than in the world OF politics, ana
we have the right to appeal 10 all gooo
citizens to support II.
