Calls Roosevelt "Apostate."
In the existing political turmoil
there has emerged from the ranks OF
Harvard graduates. an apostate, one
who IL "a pervert from his owa once
sanity of tenet ana OF conduct one
who b. rocalcitrant TO the spirit ard
teachings of his alma mater, be-
trayor OF his former friends and sup
porters and a traitor to his country.
Spurning all safeguards. written and
unwritten. established and confirmed
for the success and stability Of our
constitutional government. he has pro-

paign rs "A presidential candidate.
His unrestraiped egoism and his
unlimited ambition for self have blind
ed him To the pretension that as pres
ident he, and he alone. can dissipate
all social economic and industrial
evils, and that, therefore the one great
end to which all people should now
first strive Is TO place him at the head
of our government.
This single end he presumptuously
assumes TO be of such paramount inn
portance that all ether considerations
should. if necessary. be sacrificed to

Then. again, his high handed. delibcr

his charge of theft against his intend-

truth.
