UndcrCurrcnt For
Roosevelt Noted
Minneapolis Delegate at Security
Convention Comments On
Washington Sentiment
RELIEVES IN PREPAREDNESS!
Colonel's Hat Thrown Into Ring
At Philadelphia, Says Lead
ers of Both Parties y

washington, Jan. Z1.-Ihat
there appears to be a growing
sentiment in Washington for
Theodore Roosevelt as republican
presidential nominee was the
statement made today by Judge
Ell Torrance Of Minneaolis, who
with Judge John F. McGee are
here as Minnesota delegates TO
the National Security league
convention.
sIhe Roosevelt sentiment is
working underground but never
theless I am constantly reminded
, Of it's presence in my discus;
sions with fellow delegates at the
convention here. No one seems
to know where it comes from but
nevertheless I feel it here. in
the east all the time, I" said Judg'
Torrance. Gas to military pre-
pared1ess, we must have it,
those who are against such meas
ures have either been misin-
formed or are peace cranhs who
won't consider facts.'
That the colonel projected
himself into the contest for the
presidency in the address he de-
ivered in Philadelphia is the opd1
ion of q large number Of pollti-
cal leaders Of both PARTIES. IN
Guiding old line republicans, who
fought Roosevelt in 1912.
Probably the most interesting
political gossip in connection
with Roosevelt is to the effect
that Senator. Boise Penrose of
Pennsylvania recently wrote a
letter to Colonel Roosevelt cons
graduating him upon the sturdy
"Americanism'' enunciated in
his tel gram to the conference Of
progreseivs party leaders in
Chicago. When asked whether
this report is true, Senator Pen
rose declined either to affirm
or deny it.
A close personal associate of
Penrose said: ''Penrose is real.
ly for Roosevelt right now,
though he would not admit it

GREATEST POLITICAL POW
Err Is FARMERS LEAGUE

The Non1partisan league
what is it?
The question has been asked
a good many times the past
year. Who is back of it, what
do they want and what they in
tend to do9 are some of the
many questions that have been
asked regarding it. Some Of
these queries have been asked
Of The Forum, and it must be.
conf ssed that until recently The
Forum knew little about it.
Today, however, The Forum
clan answer the first question.
The Non-partisan league is an
up Using Of the farmers of North
d. hota almost to man.
Perhaps that was not the aim
Of the men who originated the
name and who launched the NOV
ment. Undoubtedly this move
ment has gone far beyond the
widest expectations Of those wh
set it going.
But it has spread like wild
fire and has swept the state Of
North Dakota. Today it is the
dominant power in political af-
fairs of the state. Don't make
any mistake about that. The
nontpartisan league is going to
make a housecleaning in North
Dakota politics or The Forum
is greatly mistaken.
| The Forum does not know
who the leaders of this organi-
zation are, but it does know who
the: rank, and file are and in
them this paper has the utmost
confidence and: fer them it has
the greatest respect.
The rank and file Of the Nom
partisan league are the farmers
Of North Dakota. From the Red
River valley to the far Missouri
slope, from South Dakota to the
Canadian boundary, like tn
minute men Of the revolution
they are ready for revolt. And
they are in deadly earnest They
are out for a purpose and they
do not propose to be sidetracked
The farmers propose to form
q great organization. In every
county there is to be county
convention. That convention
will be made up of delgaetes ell.
ected from the hundreds of
local organizations Of the Nom
partisan league. Each county
convention will elect delegates
to a state convention and these
delegates will be pledged to q

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
ON ANdERICANISM

"n1oGOVCA C1cC GAC SO1o1V4 may
or may not be, he is always
worth the price of admission.
Some one has said that "There
is nothing the matter with
Wi son 3 English, but if Roose-
welt had w~'tten those letters,
a large part Of them would be
found in the next edition of
familiar Quotations. >"
In Philadelphia ON Wednesday
Col. RRooseNelt addressed the
NJ. .tional Conference on Ameri-
canizat;on. The range of his
tt ought was almost bewildering.
From the text, "Fear God and
take your own part, - he discus
sed personal and National right
eousnefs, real Americanism and
hyphenated Americanism, ade
quate National defense, social
service, the relation of employer
to employee, the regulation Of
great Industrial enterprises and
National control and encourage
ment of big business. He prais-
ed German efficiency and damnt-
ed German disregard for the
lives and possessions of neutrals.
When he had finished, he had
talked enough words to- fill a
solid page of the Journal, lack
ing about a quarter of a column
And he said something all the
time.
"The man who loves other
nations as much as he does his
own country, stands on a par
with a man who loves other wo-
men as much as he loves his
own wife. - Even a byzantine
logothete" could subscribe to
that sentiment.
"a flabby cosmopplitanism, es
pecially if it expresses itself
through flabby pacifism, /" :
represents national! emasculation.
Peace at-any=price advocates and
the Commonor please copy.
Unless we are thorough-go-
ing Americans, and unless our
patriotism is part of the very
fiber Of our being, we can
neither serve God nor take our
own part. y No loftier paeach4
ment could be enunciated from
any pulpit.
"The professors Of any form
of hyphenated' Americanism are
as thoroughly the foes of this
country as if they dwelled with
out its borders and made active
war against it. . Lest we forget
the blowing up Of American fac4
tories.
Today it is true. that it
(America) cannot endure half
American and half foreign. Ev-
cry Republican as well as every
A'ogressive can shout amen to
that. There could be no finea.
get-together doctrine.

the Colonel's remarks on the
relation Of employer and. EN-
ployee. He began saying the
same things many years ago, and
he has aid the same things many
times since. Nor is there any
thing new in his views on the.
control Of big business. We.
must control it and encourage it
encourage the big business.
IT, at is good, or tries to be good.
For many years we have known
that Colonel Roosevelt believed
there are "good trusts and bad
fruits. - He himself hath said it.
When it comes to the real
fighting force, the Colonel is for
Ga big and efficient navy, and q
small and efficient army OF d
quarter Of million men," He is
also for universal service on
the Swiss or Australian model.
He sees no reason why a man
should objec' to learning how
to defend his country than why
he should object to paying taxes.
to SUPPORT it. We are ineIned
to the belief that there are
more persons in this country
who agree with Colonel Roose-
velt in this particular than who
disagree with him.
But whether this be true or
not, none can find flaw or fault
in his splendd Americanism. OF
this there is q burst in the clos-|
ing paragraph. We know of
nothing much finer in the Mt4
erature Of American oratory:
The larger Americanism de-
mands that we insist that every
immigrant who comes here shall
become an American citizen and
nothing else; if he shows that
he still remains at heart more
loyal to another land, Net him
be promptly returned to that
land; and if, on the other hand, ,
he shows that he is in good
faith and wholeheartedly an
American, let him be treated
as on full equality with the.
native born.
The larger Aanericanism de-
mands that we native born also
be whOlehearted in our allegi
ance to our country and our flag
that we refuse to be sundered
from one another along lines of
lass or creed or sect or national
origin; that we judge each Amer
can on his merits as a man,
that we work for the wellbeing
Of our spiritual selves; that we
consider safety, but that we
put honor and duty ahead Of
safety.
Only thus shall we prove our
possession of the valor Of right
eousness. Only thus shall we
stand square to an the. winds
Of destiny, high Of heart, the
masters Of our own souls, fit to
be fathers of a race Of freemeny.
