when an act OF the legislature in reg

GOV. GLASCOCK TELLS
WHY HE'S FOR COLONEL

Charleston, w. Va, October 26.--
Governor William e, Glascock, one of
the delegates from West Virginia to
the Republican national convention,
and who, with the other delegates
from this State, refused to vote for
Taft and the stolen nomination, is out
in an interview expressing his prefer
ence for Colonel Roosevelt. Governor
Glascock says;
THE need of the country at this
time is not merely for an able and
conscientious executive-a man who
knows what to do and how to do it
but also for a great popular leader.
The need is for men who can face
the new issues courageously and who
have the power and the wisdom to
mold these issues to the public wei
fare, so as to satisfy the new demands.
There is now an insistent demand
from the young men of this country,
who are seeking careers of usefulness,
for guidance and help and we must
listen to their appeals,
Political leaders must be men who
can plan for the future on broad and
righteous lines. The people of this
country are looking to Colonel Roose-
welt because he embodies the true
spirit OF the times and because he
faces the future in the American way.
He embodies our best aspirations,
ideals and hopes. More than any
other American citizen, he is seeking
to preserve American institutions in
served that is, by using them in the
solution of the new economic and So
cial conditions which the country
faces, so as to promote the public
welfare"

installments OF social and Industrial
justice in both the nation and the
several States when the Progressives
come into power.
= never will submit to the prepos-
ferrous theory that you can get and do
justice under a monarchy. but that I'M
der a republic you are forbidden to
do so. TO say that this sacrifice is
the price we pay for liberty is utter
nonsense. We viii fix it so that the
people can decide for themselves. Our
view is that it is their law and their
constitution; that a free people
should have the power from time to
time to amend their fundamental law
so as to adapt it progressively to the
changing needs of the people, Be
lieving this, the Progressives are
pledged to provide a more easy and
expeditions method of amending the
Federal Constitution. Thus Progress
sives are taking the position that
Washington and Lincoln took, when
Washington said in his last address
that the basis of our political system
is the right of the people to make and
alter their constitution, and when Lin
coin, speaking of the bred Scott decis-
sion. said in his first inaugural that
we had the right to change our gov
eminent, and that If we surrendered
into the hands of the Supreme Court
our right to fix our own constitution
we were surrendering our right to gov
ern ourselves into the hands of that
court. The effort to divert the atten.
ton OF men and women from these
great and pressing problems of social
and industrial justice by advocating
free trade or tariff for revenue only,
is simply an effort to sidestep the big
vital issue in this campaign, and If
successful. it would mean the calami-
tous deferring of the day when we
take up these problems and settle
them with wisdom and sound sense.
Our proposals are definite and precise,
