If facts be stranger than felton," what a
startling array (substantiated by quotations,
dates and fgures) Col Roosevelt displayed in
condemnation of the Wilson administration
in his mastery address in Lewiston last Thurs
day evening! OF that campaign speech, the
Boston Herald editorialy said the next day:
"Col. Roosevelt last night opened the cam
paign or at least his part in it. And it will be
large part. Aside from the preside initial
candidates themselves, Col. Roosevelt is the
biggest figure in American politics today. and
perhaps the one American to whose views the
larger public looks with greatest expectancy.
Nor was his speech last night disappoint-
ment. We pay our readers the compliment
in spite of the paper shortage which enjoins
| condensation on every hard--of giving them
| this speech in full, in the belief that they
will want to read it from start to finish.
The speech not new in any sense, any more
than are the activities and inactiyities of the
Wilson administration which Col. Roosevelt
attacks. The wonder about him is that he
can continue to tell the same story through SO
many channels--magazine articles. interviews,
etc.--and each time strike it out with such
vigor and brlliancy as to give it all the stamp
of freshness and originality. He makes clear
that his paramount desire in this campaign is
the defeat of Woodrow Wilson, and with that
as a bugle-call. he is summoning his old-time
followers to the standard of Mr.. Hughes"
