THE EXCUSE AND ANTIDOTE FOR
ROOSEVELT.
Jew York World, June 16.

New York World, June 16.
The excuse f5r Roosevelt is to be
found in the perfidy of his own party
and in the uncertainty that exists as
to the policy and leadership of the
Democratic party. The antidote here
as elsewhere, now as always, for the
poison of force and absolutism is a
fierce and fighting Democracy, at
tached to the Constitution, true to las
pledges and infiexibly the champion
of equal rights under the laws.
If we cannot have true American
ism, true Democracy, true self-gov-
eminent, we shall presently have
something worse than Roosevelt.
Dangerous as he may be, he is only
the apostle of a propensity that never
fails to appear when great people
have grievances which in orderly
fashion they seem powerless to
remedy.
One Woodrow Wilson in auth0rita-
tive leadership could put down a
dozen Roosevelts. The excuse for
Roosevelt is therefore reason for
Wilson. To reassure a people sorely
exasperated and tempted is the first
duty of the Baltimore Convention.
