Roosevelt Gets
Big Reception

|
that Colonel Roosevelt was given
a hearty reception in Denver.
This could have been expected
because of Teddy's Western
spirit and prominence as a COW
puncher Of the early days.
The Demonstration, however,
was not what might be called a
voluntary, hospitable reception
from the rank and file only so
far as Western hospitality goes
toward all men of prominence
who come within her gates.
Much of the spectacular was
forced and dearly paid for by
those managing the campaign.
When all OF the musical organ
izations in Denver are called in
to action they make a big noise
and they cost a big lot of money.
Take the bands, boy scouts and
kids out of the line of march and
1000 in our opinion would be a
liberal estimate for those march
ing on foot and in automobiles.
Jefferson county, however,
was well represented by a string
of automobiles bearing banners,
Jefferson County for Hughes. "
The Auditorium was packed
and thousands of people were
unable to get in who would have
heard the Colonel.
The throngs on the streets
were apparently Indifferent as
far as responding to the political
side of it. There was very little
cheering from the crowds along
the curbs and the name of
Hughes was very seldom men
toned.
Mr.. Roosevelt is dissatisfied
with President Wilson's admins
tration because he has not built
the strongest navy in the world
in three and a half years when
he himself had seven and a half
years in which to do it and his
Republican administration had
thirty years in which to do it.
He would have Wilson mobil-
iZc an army Of a quarter of mil
lion men when he left the nation
with a standing army of less
than fifty thousand men and they
sadly disorganized.
In the same breath he brands
the guard mobilization system as
most attrocious. He fails to tell
us. however, by what system he
would get his quarter million.
He shows plainly that he
would have jumped at the chance
to invade Mexico and everyone
knows that this would have
meant that we would at this
hour been plunged into war had
he or Hughes been president.
BY the same token we would
have been in war with Germany
or the Allies without doubt.
Everything is wrong and moth
ing ever has been done right
according TO Theodore and if
Mr.. Hughes should be elected un-
less Theodore is consulted on all
questions, which he undoubtedly
will be, then it won't be long be.
fore the same criticisms will be
coming from Teddy. 1t will be
remembered that in his message
of refusal of the Progressive
nomination he said Hughes was
not "A fit man TO be president.
Is there anything Mr.. Hughes
has done except to give Teddy n
luncheon that was calculated TO
change his opinion Of Hughes?
We fail to see II.

NEGRO ELECTS NATIONAL
COMMITTEE.
Casts Deciding Vote.

Louisville, KY, July 10.-Thomas
B. Cromwell, political writer for The
Cincinnati Enquirer, has the follow
ing article in his paper, date of July
9, in reference to the political situa-
ton in Kentucky and Phil. H. Brown,
editor of the Hopkinsville Saturday
News and delegates from the State
at Large to the recent Republican
National Convention:
Speaking of the Hert-Mc Cullough
row, the Christian County Repub-
lican committee poured no oil upon
the troubled waters when it en-
dorsed Phil. H. Browns action in vot-
ing against Colonel John w. Nc
Cullough, or rather in voting for
Colonel A. T. Hert, at Chicago. The
friends of Mccullough throughout
the State hold to the opinion that
the Owensboro mans reelection ir
Kentucky was regular; that il
should have been ratified at Chi
cago, and that it would have beer
ratified had Ludlow Petty, M. L
Heavrin and Phil. Brown, the latter
the only Negro on the delegation, re.
mained loyal to their Kentucky vote
and pledge. Therefore the resolu-
ton adopted last Saturday at Hop.
kinsville, the Negro delegates home
is offensive to large number of Re.
publicans, but no more so than the
scathingly sarcastic articles penned
by Brown and published in his week
ly paper against Chairman Ed. T
Franks.
Brown stated as the first of dozer
reasons for voting for Colonel Her
he has been my personal friend fol
20 years. Whereupon a friend of thu
Republican National Committeeman
offered as suggestion that hi
'muzzle Brown for the welfare of the
Republican party but another, read
ing the twelfth reason, ventured tha
the Louisville man might not be able
to do that. The twelfth reason reads
Although I am a Negro I cannot
and will not wear anybody's ring ir
my nose; and if this be treason make
the most of it, If Hughes wins tht
Republicans in Kentucky will have tc
reckon largely with Brown, since b,
reason of the recognition accorded
Colonel Hert, who has been made &
member of the subcommittee of the
National Committee to direct the
campaign, the Negro may be said tc
be only one removed from the top"
Brown cast the deciding vote which
elected Colonel A. T. Hert, a Louis
vile capitalist, making him Nationa
Committeeman from Kentucky.
