To the Editor: II Roosevelt is strong
enough to force himself into the Presi-
dency for a third term at this time there
viii be no amendment TO the Constitu-
ton limiting the Presidential term be-
cause he win be strong enough to pre-
vent the requisite number Of stEtes from
ratifying it. So. gaining strength as he
goes, will follow the fourth, NTH, &c.
terms until a Madero appears upon the
scene strong enough to pull our Diaz
out Of the White House, thus plungins
our government into a great civil war
costing thousands Of lives and millions
Of dollars.
Theodore Roosevelt and Joseph NJ.
Dixon are. respectively, half and whole
Southern men, which / say with deep
apologies 10 the South. II must be upon
the basis Of Judging others by themselves
that they claim the Southern delegates
will desert President Taft. ] want TO
tell them that their standard Is not
high enough by which 10 measure the
Southern delegates OF to-day-they are
not traitors to their friends, traitors TO
their party. and traitors to their country.
Angels and ministers OF grace defend
US" Think Of Roosevelt talking OF
bosses! Think Of Finn. Brown, and
others who stand for the very worst
types OF bosses in American poll
tics. Think OF George w Perkins, the
heart and soul Of the great, sinister spe-
cial interests Of Wall Street Think OF
all the bosses OF all the United States,
of whom the greatest Of these is Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
AS the Chicago Convention will nom
mate President Taft and as Roosevelt
Is determined to have a nomination, by
fair or foul means, It is already settled
by him and his henChmen that he Will
90 TO Chicago 20 accept nomination at
the hands OF a ''rump'' convention.
Therefore. I suggest that a nurse" and
a ''perambulator'' be prepared for him,

ciple OF like master like servant" he

lions Of free-born American citizens lex
cept Theodore Roosevelt, so cowardly
as TO wantonly and untruthfulIy attack
the President Of the United States.
Roosevelt need not think that he can
win the nomination with his less than
one-thind primary vote. representing the
unntelligent and dissatisfied element OF
the Republican party because at Chicago
he VIII face statesmen OF the highest
intellect men who are not willing to
adopt his new and dangerous doctrines

moCracy-a government controlled by one
man, instead OF a government composed
of executive. legislative. and judicial
branches. We can safely trust the Re

principles Of the Republican party and

American citizens worthy Of the name.
North and South, Republicans and Dem
oCrats. honor and revere the great and
good deeds of Grant. but American citi-
zens worthy Of the name now see the
wisdom OF having defeated him IN his
third term ambition. thus putting the
love OF government above the love OF
man The love Of government repre-
sents over ninety millions of people. the
love Of man represents one prrson-the
love OF government lives. the love OF
man dies. Roosevelt viii die. the free
institutions Of our government will live
