THE Birth of a Nation" which Is

war and its predominant message for
universal peace. The slogan, War as

front than the question of whether or
not this photodrama properly repre-
sents the negro race as 1t existed In
the time of the Civil war.

morally and educationally, it estab-

soil.
After the favorite son is pulled off
in the first ballot in the Republican
national convention, Colonel Roosevelt
will show more strength than any two
or three other candidates.
Everybody knows that the Progress
sive votes, combined with the Taft
Republicans, will elect Roosevelt.
When it comes to picking a sure win
ner, the Republicans will fall over each
other boosting for Roosevelt; in fact,
they are doing 1t now all over the
country.
1.-THE Republicans know that the fol-
lowers of Taft in 1912 will vote for
any man that is nominated by their
party convention. Colonel Roosevelt
will be that man. because they know
that he already has four or five mill
lion Progressive and Independent votes
that will stick to him on any ticket.
This vote. combined With the Taft Re-
publican, will sweep the country for
Roosevelt and the whole Republican
ticket in all the states north of the
solid south"
