LET US HAVE LIGHT

Was the nomination stolen"
from Roosevelt? The Ex-Presi-
dent, who himself perfected the
"steam roller that was used SO
ruthlessly at Chicago week ago,
AYERS emphatically that it was.
Before the Convention met he said
the National Committee was "steal-
ing" his delegates. During the
Convention he said the Taft dele
gates were seated by "thievery."
Since the Convention adjourned
he has repeatedly said he is the
victim of robbery His keynote
for the bolting convention was
Thou shalt not steal
What about it Is there real
basis for Roosevelt's sweeping
charge that the presidential nomi-
nation was "stolen" from him?
This is an important question.
There has been no light thrown
upon it for the American public.
The voters have not been given the
facts; they have seen no evidence.
Indeed it is doubtful if any dele
gate who sat in that convention
could tell, except in few cases
out of the hundreds, which side Of
the contests was Justly entitled to
have its delegates seated.
La Follette's will publish, soon,
the story of these contests. This
story will be written by Gilbert E.
Roe, the New York lawyer who
wrote sour Judicial Oligarchy."-

The Philadelphia North-Ameri.
can is the one great Progressive
paper in the East, the only metro
politan daily along the Atlantic
seaboard that has stood steadfastly
for the People in the present strug.
gle against Special Privilege. 1t
was to the North American, more
than anything else, that Mr. Roose-
welt owed his overwhelming vic
tory in Pennsylvania. This, then.
is what the North American has to
say with regard to the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson:
"The nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for president of the United
States by the Democratic conven
tion at Baltimore is miracle of
politics. The same intlu-
ences which controlled the ma
chinery of the Republican party
and defeated the plain will of the
voters also controlled the machin-
cry of the Democratic party when
the convention opened in Balti-
more ten days ago. The same
forces of special privilege which
succeeded in robbing Roosevelt of
nomination by converting ma
Jority of the legally y-elected dele
gates into minority, through
fraud Il lent manipulation, had
planned adroitly to prevent the
nomination of Governor Wilson by
the Democrats.
But the structure builded by
these forces of special privilege to
prevent the selection of Wilson,
which, under ordinary conditions,
would have withstood the required
strain, broke down under the
weight of the peoples protest, for
the expression of which the dead
lock provided time.
"The robbery of Roosevelt at
Chicago and the betrayal of the
great majority of the Republican
party, openly and brazenly per-
petrated, so aroused the wrath of
the honest men of the nation, re-
gardless of party, that the attempt
to repeat the crime of cheating
majority of the party at Baltimore
brought down upon the conspir-
ators burst of public opinion of
such dynamic force that their
scheme crumbled and its builders
fled in fright.
"If the North-American were
obliged to choose between Cover
nor Wilson, nominated under such
conditions, and President Taft,
renominated by larcenous methods,
this newspaper would be untrue to
its principles and faithless to its
duty to its readers if it did not
give unqualified support to the

A BIG LAND DEAL

"The interior department made
it known for the first time last
week that the United States gov
eminent filed on 10000 acre feet
of the waters of the Rio Grande
river in 1906 and that in 1908 it
filed on all the unappropriated
waters of that stream and its trib-
utaries.
"This arbitrary action on the
part of the federal government de-
prives Colorado of the right to re-
claim thousands upon thousands
of acres of land, 30 that the people
of two other states and a foreign
nation may use the waters of our
own streams for their exclusive
benefit.
"This act deprives Colorado of
its own waters for which there is
crying need to reclaim more than
l,25O,OOO acres in the San Luis
valley, of which 25O,OOO acres be-
long to the state" says the Dem
yer Times.
1t is evident there is big land
scheme back of this government
filing which has been kept secret
since 1906.
Mexico gets water for only 3d.
600 acres and this is probably by
Americans.
This whole business ought to be
thoroughly Investigated by a COM
mittee that cannot be handled by
grafters.
Perhaps change in the admin
istration of public affairs may be-
the only chance for relief the San
Luis valley can hope for.
What the citizens of Romeo and
the surrounding country have been
