THE HERALD OF WAR

Theodore Roosevelt In permitting
his name to remain on the Progress
sive ballot to be voted for in the
Presidential preference primaries Of
Michigan shows that he still has de-
signs Of a political character which
have characterized him ever since he
left the Presidential chair However.
no matter whether he shall succeed
in getting the nomination OF a party
small or large he will not attain 10 any
OF the ambitions he has been nursing.
There are evidences on every hand
that his intolerable ego Is again a.
work. but 1t is not possible that the
American people. under the present
circumstances, are going to be at all
impressed. This is the same man who
turned on an old friend. President
Taft, and betrayed him for his own
exaltation. Who refused to agree to
the nomination Of Governor Hadley.
which would have prevented the gap
ing rent made in the Republican forces
in 1912. and who did everything in
his power to wholly destroy that party
for his own selfish ends. This is
the same Col. Roosevelt who comes
laundering again at the door TO open
for him.
In the last sixteen months by speech
and written word he has shown what a
calamitous hour il would have been
for this country had he succeeded to
the Presidency on the emotional wave
Of three years ago. The Armageddon
OF his thoughts Is boisterous and
bloody. indeed. Seeking the Presi-
dency again there is only one issue
upon which he can run. the foreign pol
icy OF President Wilson. which he has
bitterly and vindictively attacked from
the breaking out of the European war.
He. nor no other man can win the &C
claim OF the majority OF the American
people by such a course. II there is
one thing that stands out to the credit
Of the present administration. with all
It's faults Of errancy on the tariff and
domestic affairs, II has been President
Wilson's treatment Of our delicate re-
lations with the belligerents OF Europe.
The conduct OF our foreign diplomatic
affairs in this respect. while IL can
not be said 70 have been brilliant. II
has. at least. avoided a precipitancy
hat has saved us from armed conflict.
while the roaring bull Of Bashan would
have plunged us into a war whose
irightfulness and consequences would
have been appalling
This Is not fanciful conjecture. but
the logical deduction OF the spirit and

Roosevelt. and It is that which makes
him impossible az candidate. and
a dangerous factor TO the peace and
poise Of the Nation.
