For the past two years this politi
cal chameleon has been denouncine
the Democratic and Republican par
ties because the people OF this coun-
try refused to eject him to a third
term. When this inflated person wa.

main to annex Arizona. for all time
to come. to New Mexico, and were
It not for the heroic efforts made
/ by Democrats and Republicans alike
Arizona would have been forever
absorbed by New Mexico. The iron
handed Bismark who wrung from
conquered France, at the point of
! the bayonet. the French provinces
OF Alsace and Lorraine, did so as
the result and aftermath OF bloody
and victorious war, but the conduct
OF Bismark, in this regard, was
sanity in comparison with that of
Roosevelt, who in times of peace,
and without provocation or justif-
cation OF any kind or character. used
all the prestige of his great Office
to forcibly hand over Arizona as a
caudal appendage to New Mexico.
Roosevelt was perfectly willing
and more than eager to accept the
Republican nomination for president
for 4 third term on any old platform.

that while Roosevelt was president. |
he was the most plant, the most
and the most potential
tool in the hands OF trusts and pre-
datory interests. It was proven. be-

Standard Oil Company contributed
100000 toward his campaign in
1904, and because they did not give
up $l50,0O0 more to him, he has
been denouncing them ever since.
