LINCOLN MISQUOTED
SON OF MARTYREO PRESIDENT
SHOWS Roosevelt ALTERED
HIS LANGUAGE.
WRITES EMPHATIC LETTER
Robert 7. Lincoln Makes II Plain
That the Colonel Has Nothing in
Common With the Patriotic Exec
utive Of War Time.

Theodore Roosevelt is fond of as
sorting his own resemblance to Abra.
ham Lincoln and of quoting from the
words of the martyred president in
support of the radical Rooseveltian
theories
But Robert T Lincoln, in a letter to
Chairman Hilles of the Republican ma
tional committee. points out that Mr..
Roosevelt has deliberately altered"
the words of Lincoln and has found.
ed arguments upon the misquotation.
The letter is q complete expose OF
MIR. Rooseyeit's method OF seeking
votes. II shows that Abraham Lin
coin had nothing in common with
Roosevelt, and that the latter. in at
tempting to juggle with the name of
the martyred president. is imposing
upon the American people.
Mr.. Roosevelt has never yet ex-
planned why he deliberately altered
the words Of President Lincoln to suit
his own purposes, nor has he apollo
gized for his misrepresentation. On
tho contrary. he has ignored the grave
charges contained in Mr. Lncoln's let
ter, which is as follows:
Manchester Vermont, April 27. 1912
My Dear Mr.. Hilles: You ask what
think of the repeated assertions by
Mr., Roosevelt, that hts attitude on
certain radical doctrines is supported
by the recorded views of my father.
The proper answer to your inquiry
cannot be made In a few words. The
government under which my father
lived was, as It is now, a republic. or
representative democracy checked by
the Constitution, which can be
changed by the people, but only when
acting by methods which compel delib-
Grafton and exclude go far as is pcs
sible the effect OF passionate and
short-sighted impulse A government
In which the checks OF an established
Constitution are actually, or practical
ly. omitted-one in which the people
act In a mass directly on all questions
and not through their chosen repre-
sentatives is an unchecked democ-
racy, form of government so full OF
danger. as shown by history that It
has ceased to exist except in communi.
ties small and concentrated as to
space. A New England town meet
ing may be good. but such government
In a large city. or state. would be
chaos.
"As I understand IL, the essence of
Mr. Rooseyelt's proposals is that We
shall adopt the latter form OF govern
ment in place of the existing form.
This, in simple words. is proposed
revolution, peaceful perhaps, but a
revolution. In support of these revo-
lutionary doctrines which, If success
ful. would abolish the form and the
spirit Of our existing government, and
surely, think, lead TO attempted die
tatorships. resort is had to what IL
claimed TO be the words and teachings
OF President Lincoln. It must be as
sumed that, though he has been dead
nearly fifty years. his influence is stin
felt as being that OF a wise and pa
triotic citizen n that is true, we are
ali interested In having LIS opinions
and sayings truthfully stated. and my
interest is naturally peculiar.

inely and fearlessfy Progressive. It's
platform is superb. Comprehensive,
courageous, definite and practical, as
the declaration of faith OF a national
party it is unique and inspiring in
its enthusiasm for progress and hu-
manity. II takes its stand in favor
of justice for those who labor and
equality of opportunity for business
and farmers. Manifestly it is the
Wisconsin Idea nationalized. Here
for the first time the things for which
Wisconsin Progressiyes have fought
for years are now vital issues in a
nationwide campaign. 1t is as like
the Republican state platform OF two
years ago as two peas. The Repub-
lican state platform this year is in
harmony with both. How can we
who have sacrificed for these ideas in
wisconsin oppose them now in the
nation? For one shall not attempt
the role.
1t is true there are Progressives
IN Wisconsin who do not admire
Colonel Roosevelt. They say he is
insincere. | do not believe this
charge can be substantiated. Colonel
Roosevelt's character and qualifica-
tons for public Office are well known.
His fitness to lead the progressive
movement has been submitted to the
voters themselves from Maine TO Cal
ifornia and overwhelmingly ap-
proved. If the will of the people is
to be the law of the land his title to
lead in this great cause is clear, hav-
ing thus been affirmed By the highest
tribunal TO which political controver.
sizes can be appealed. To his side
the new party has called Governor
Johnson of California whose splen-
did record in the gubernatorial office
is almost without a parallel. Allow
ing all fair deductions that may be
claimed-and nothing human is per-
fect-here is a ticket, political plat
form and party personnel which for
high purpose, genuine patriotism
and political courage challenges the
support of every thoughtful citizen.
1t is not neasy thing for a Repub-
iican candidate to withhold support
from even the nominal head of his
party. But it is easier than suffering
the feeling of disqualification and
loss of self-respect inseparable from
an attempt to go through this cam
pa1gn appearing to support men he
does not respect and lodging issues
that should be squarely met And
after all, as was said of old: "The
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life. 1t is principles, not party
names or labels, that count. No Re-
publican who supports the national
progressive ticket need leave his par
ty in this state on that account.
l shall support the Republican
state, congressional, legislative and
local tickets and vote for Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor johnson.

Foreign Students at Il. of w.

That the University of Wisconsin
is becoming one of the leading educa-
tional attractions to foreign students
is evident from the number of for
eigners who will attend the varsity
this year. Although no definite fig
ures can be obtained at the p esent
time as to the number Of forei,,. stu
dents registered, it is said that the
number this year will exceed that of
any previous year.
1t is probable that more than $50
students, representing more than
twenty nationalities, including China,
Japan. South Africa, India, Sweden,
Norway, Mexico, France, Spain and
many other countries will be among
the students to enter this fall. China,
as usual, has the largest delegation.
Last year there was 35 members of
the Chinese society and it is said by
members Of the society that China
will be represented this fall by more
students han ever In the history Of
