party. He deliberately turned the coun-
try over to Democratic control"

year. said Roosevelt to the Allentown
throng. "Plnchot was my right-hand man
while | was President, and there is not
one OF my principles that he does not
stand for. We are fighting for the same
principles against the same foes. The
prime Issue is to beat Penrose, and the
only man to beat him is Pinchot."
