Col Roosevelt. lis. not only a traitor to
himself but he is a traitor to the cause
Of government I wish that good
citizens would join together to see that
there is no corruption at the primaries.
/ ask every decent cOlOred man in this

tage Of his neds- The cOlOred man who

harm TO his own race

you can't go against US if you are
far sightedly loyal to your own in
terests," said Col. Roosevelt.
We stand for the basic principles
upon which this government was
founded
we, who stand for the progressive
cause have everywhere insisted upon
direct primaries to select thf nominee
for president. our opponents, headed,
L am sorry to say, by president Taft,
have said that they dlstrusted the i'm
pulsive judgment of the people"
Il ask you TO speak for yourselves at
the polls. Don't have your votes de-
Hvered by anybody.
Organization Should Represent People.
our opponents have said that We are
attacking the organization here We
are not attacking ii so far as il repre-
ganizatiOn most emphatically. We want
to have the Organization strong But
il should represent the plain people.
Il can make any appeal either to
the boss or the big corporation man
who stands back of the boss. i don't
expect the boss 10 be with us because
the movement isn't healthy for bosses
The big corporation man ought TO be
with us if ne doesn't want anything
more than a square deal He is entitled
to his own vote, but he is entitled to
only one vote
Mr. Taft has said + go about the
country preaching class hatred and dis
content The only class I preach hatred
against is the class of crooks"
