RoosEvELTs PRE-CoNvENTIoN SPEECH.

The great speech delivered Monday night the Chicago
ditorium was really Roosevets nominating speech
It placed him in nomination for president against all the
crooked methods of machine politics of the past
He showed that the national committee had reversed the
verdict of people in the twenty Republican primary states
That is in the twenty northern Republican states where the
people had direct vote, they declared for progress.
In those twenty northern Republican states that form the
backbone the Republican party the voters repudaed Taft
showed that Taft to be nominated by the delegates
from the southern states and stolen delegates from northern
states
The speech the greatest ueance against the crookedness
of politics has been pracced in the past ever uttered
It strikes high note for cleaner and better methods and
ing the expressed will of the people national crime against
popular government which the people must punish
On this Roosevelt will be nominated and there only
place for c decent and progressive citizens to take their
stand.
