Reasons for His Return

The prosperity OF the people and the
VOWED In war were the two reasons why

opinion of Theodore Roosevelt. Writing
In the Mctropolifan Md0a-ine on the re-

statement.
Col. Roosevelt saws that the men who
supported Hughes In the election will
always be glad that they supported him.
He ends his article AZ follows:
I'VE now. for the sake OF the nation.
earnestly hope Mr.. Wilson will meet with
every success in the task ahead of him"
In speaking OF the feeling of the men
who worked for Justice Hughes he says {:
ITO men who feel ~ the present
writer does. and who hold their convic-
tions with a fervor of intention and who
wished to see the American people re-
pudlate MIR Wilson's policies by an over
whelming majority. the disappointment
Is naturally keen.

foretell. The appeal made for Mr.. Will
son was one which would tell very
strongly with good honest citizens.
whose preoccupation with their own pur-
suits was such that they could not be
expected to look deeply into our inter-
national relations and the general world
conditions"
In spc liking OF the influence OF the
Adamson bill on the labor vote Col.
Roosevelt says:
at was taken as an indication that in
any conflict between capital and labor
Mr.. Wilson would support labor without

ton OF the returns from the election Of

classes as doubtful.
These are the Second Of Michigan, In
