BROWN PREDICTS
ROOSEVELT R0UT.
Saws American Manhood viii
Kill His Aspirations to Make
America Personal Asset.

Governor Brown DeileNee tHat 'i
coming presidential campaign wit
Roosevelt as a nominee viii be tn
most spectacular and Roosevelt's defea
he most complete in american mis-
CRY.
The governor in written statemen
ssued from the capitol Yesterday. reis
rated his belief that Democratic success
would be assured if Roosevelt wer
made The nominee of the Republica
party. The third-term idea and tn
new nationalism" would certainly ae
omplish his defeat
The statement i'm full Is.
IF there has been any doubt as to
the success of the Democratic par
~ in the pending presidential cleo
ton deem it to a great degree re
moved by the probable nomination
by the Republicans Of Roosevelt
Stripped of all minor issues, The
Roosevelt candidacy seems mani
testify based upon Taft's failure to
carry out the so-called Roosevelt
policies after Taft was inaugurated
"a president In other words, Mr.
Roosevelt would dismiss Taft be-
cause Taft has failed TO undertake
to perpetuate Rooseyeltism
T. r. Thinks He's U. S.
In Rooseyets mind the. Aneri-
can government is manifesty his
affair and the American people his
asset IN a speech made by Roose-
Welt AT Dennison. Ohio. May 90, he
emphasized tils fact by saying
there would be no compromise in
the selection Of Republican cam
ddate for president as far as he
was concerned "l'll name the com
promise candidate, he went on;
hell be me III name the com-
promise platform, it viii be our
platform
The above declarations put up to
American manhood the distinct is
sue as to whether it or Roosevelt is
the master OF this republic Amer
lean manhood is really embodied in
some more than 10000 900 Of voters,
although Roosevelt manifestly con-
strues it al being crystalized in
himself alone. If the Republican
party should nominate him it VIII
prove that 1t Is either blind to
American public opinion or that it
has deliberately determined to COM
NIT political suicide. The Ameri-
can people win never admit of any
mans having third term as presi-
dent That may be termed basic
law in our government which Is ali
the higher by being manfestY
necessary principle rather than
statute law.
Republicans Staying Away.
1t is well in this connection TO
bear in mind the enormous number
of Republican voters who have not
taken part in the recent primaries.
In Massachusetts. for example, the
total vote in the primary was about
$4,000 whereas the Republican
vote in the presidential election ln
1908 in that state exceeded 265.ooo
There are. no doubt tens of thou
sands of conservative Republicans
in a number Of states in the North
Who viii not vote for Roosevelt or
any other man for a third term un
lsss the Democrats should commit
the colossal bluuder of nominating
radical Democrat with whom to OPP
pose this third-term Republican
aspirant
Roosevelt Fsithless.
It is in order TO say that Roose-
Welt in 1904, voluntarily made TO
the entire American people a clear
and positive promise that he would
not again be a candidate for pres-
dent Inasmueh as he has unmis-
takahly proven himself faithless to
that promise. We can not fail to
know that he viii undoubtedly be
fsithless to the constitution he
must swear to execute if he should
be elected. For the constitution he
would substitute his so-styled nev
nstionalism which is really moth
ing but Roosevelt ahsomtism
Understand me Mr Roosevelt is
a man of engaging personality and
commands an enthusiastic follow
ing among many in all sections, bot
when the American people face the
issue Of electng a president they
will choose conservatism and COM
mon sense rather than that vhich
is dashing and debonar II Roose-
Welt be nominated the campaign
Will be the most spectacular and
Roosevelt's defeat the most com
piete in American history L may
be Well for this inevitable and de-
served rebuke to be administered In
order to settle for all time To come
the third term issue
