demand of a plain principle, but that is
what Roosevelt has done.
'In urging the eight delegates to
vote for Taft because the states pref
erentlal vote showed a plurality for
the president is exactly what every one
who knows the real Roosevelt expect
ed he would do.
HE BELIEVES IN AND ACTS
THE SQUARE DEAL FOR AN ENE-
MY JUST THE SAME AS FOR A
FRIEND. THE SQUARE DEAL is
THE SQUARE DEAL. ROOSEVELT
is SQUARE"
The Square DEAR is the caption I'M
der which the Cleveland Leader prints
the following appreciation Of Colonel
Roosevelt's action: ,
Once again Theodore Roosevelt has
stamped his public service with the
great seal Of the square deal. Once
more he has set for his cO%untrymen
an example of sturdy adherence to
principle and unyielding devotion to
plain justice.
I'm renouncing his clear legal title
to the eight delegates at large from
Massachusetts and demanding that the
Will of the people Of the Bay State
shall be made effective despite his own
technical victory, the former presl-
dent has set himself so far beyond
and above the sordid practices Of pro-
fessional politicians that even his bit
terest foes must admit the purity of
the motives and the strength of the
purposes of his presidential campaign.
MIR. Roosevelt has lost eight delegates
who were legally his own He has de-
Hvered to the opposition eight conven-
ton votes that could have been cast for
him. But be has gained infinitely in
the faith and trust of his Countrymen.
He has done as the nation has learned
TO expect Theodore Roosevelt to do"
That the square deal" should actual
~ be injected into politics is a great
surprise to the New York Tribune.
The Tribune regards Colonel Roose-
Yelts honesty az novel" that organ
having been long associated with the
raft administrations campaign and
having given unstinted support to the
crooked methods employed by Mr..
Iaft's managers. The Tribune says:
That novel action should point the
way to a higher standard OF political
ethics In the conduct OF a contest
among Republicans for a great honor
and responsibility like the presidency"
