Their present policy is all that is re-
CURED to make the nomination and
election of Col Roosevelt inevitable
As the situation now stands. Col
Roosevelt is the only man who can
defeat Mr.. Wilson. because he is the
only man who has offered an honest
substitute for Mr. Wilson's policy in
the vital question Of American honor
abroad and security at home. II the
Republican leaders cannot see this,

Two generations ago political par

As a consequence it persisted. The
Republican party can no more survive
half American and half Hyphen than
could the Whig when it became half
slave, half free. If the Republican
leaders attempt to follow such a
course one of two things will happen
either the party will be destroyed
altogether or il will become the in

of the CONSUMPTION bill by vote of
403 to 105. .~ H.. IL. .: =.
The minority, which opposed the
measure introduced Wednesday by
Premier Asquith, was composed for
the most part of labor men, Irish Ma
tionalists and, the ultra-radicals. G.
H. Roberts, one of the lord commits
sioners of the treasury, and William
Brace, with Mr.. Henderson, the last
two under secretaries and leaders of
the labor party, also denounced the
measure in heated terms, and an
nounced that they had resigned from
the cabinet because of the bill, and
that they would fight it to the end.
More significant even than the
stand taken by the labor council to-
ward the bill was the result of a. pleb-
iscite taken throughout the country.
Laboring men voted against the bill
to the number of 1,99S,000, while but
$4,000 were in favor of CONSUMPTION.
