SAYS HIS ELECTION WOULD
MEAN SERIOUS DANGER
TO THE REPUBLIC.
DECLARES AMERICANS BLUSH
THAT SUCH A MAN EVER
WAS ELECTED.
CWheellng Intelligencer.l


Liar! Liar Liar! Liarl Liar!
The above is the sufficient Roose.
yeltian answer to every proof of dou-
Dle-dealing. Of duplicity, and of cor.
rupt solicitation brought against the
only pure, truthful and honest man in
the United States.
Confronted with the statement OF
f.. III. Hartman, that he personally
raised S25O,OOO to be used in the
Roosevelt campaign in 1904. MIR.
Roosevelt shouts "liar."
Confronted with the statement OF
George r. Sheldon, that Mr.. Roose-
welt knew that Mr.. Hartman raised
this sum, and the purposes for which
1t were to be used, Mr. Roosevelt
shouts "liar"
Confronted with the statement OF
Senator Boies Penrose, that $50. 900
was received from the Standard Oil
Company to aid i'm the election OF Mr..
Roosevelt i'm 1904, and that Mr. Roose-
welt knew of the receipt of this sum,
Mr.. Roosevelt shouts liar"
Confronted With Evidence.
Confronted with the sworn evidence
of John ID. Archbold, vice president
OF the Standard Oil Company. that the
company distributed SIPS, 900 to the
Roosevelt campaign fund. and that
Mr.. Roosevelt knew of this contribu-
ton and authorized n solicitation for
$150,000 more, Mr.. Roosevelt shouts
liar"
There never was convicted thief
who did not shout "liar" at the wit
nesses for the state There never
was brutal murderer who went to
the gallows clarifying in his own
nerve, who did not shout liar" at
those who testified against him.
Abraham Lincoln, one of the great
| est and noblest men this world has
ever seen, served the American peo-
pie through five years of storm and
stress. How often was the character
| of Abraham Lincoln impeached, and
how often did he have to take refuge
! behind volley OF liars" in order to
, save himself?
When two men disagree as to n
statement of facts, one man may call
/ the other liar and be believed.
! When the same man, in the course OF
a political controversy, finds it neces-
sary to call n second, or a third, or
a fourth, or a fifth man a liar" and
all of these men are of such standing
that ordinarily their word would be
accepted as good as to any question
of fact, the preponderance of evidence
| is decidedly against him.
Double Dealing and Insincerlty.
! Liar" has become Theodore RoOse-
velt's weapon. Surrounded and over
whelmed by evidence of his own dou-
ble-leading and insincerlty, by proofs
of his willingness to accept aid from
every questionable source, of his read
mess to enter into unworthy obliga-
tions, of his willingness to break
every honorable promise, his sole de-
Tense is a loud volley of abuse, and
the word "liar" is his principal pro-
jectile. The American people must
blush that such a man was ever Gle
waited to the Presidency of the United
States. The possibility that this
Christian and prize demagogue could
again attain the highest and most re.
sponsible office in the gift of one
hundred million people would imply
the most serious danger that could
threaten the American common
wealth.
Fortunately there is no such posi-
bility.

OveTtures for Surrender Reject

Hillsvilie, Va, March 25.-Clinging
tenaciously to life and liberty, dogged
on every side by human bloodhounds,
their overtures rejected and the death
sentence already passed on them for
the murders in Judge Massie's court
room, the remnants of the Allen gang
sent defiance to their pursuers and re-
treated deeper into the mountains.
This was the word that came from
the fugitives. The men who know the
mountains and mountain folk say the
rejection of the Aliens offer of sur

ing more of the outlaws alive. Like
Floyd Allen, who tried to slash his
