Roosevelt 5
Speech at Battle
Creek Mich.

A complete exposure of the
weakness Of the Wilson admins
tration and its ill results was for
cibly brought out by ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt in his speech
at Battle Creek, Michigan, in his
campaigning for the Republican
Party last Saturday. The speech
in part follows:
II appeal to my fellow citizens
that they shall elect Mr.. Hughes
and repudiate Mr.. Wilson because
only by SO doing can they save
America from that faint of gross
selfishness and cowardice which
we owe to Mr.. Wilson's substitu-
tion of adroit elocution for straight
forward action. President Wilson
embodies in his person that most
dangerous doctrine which teaches
our people that when fronted with
really formidable responsibilities
we can shi"k trouble and labor and
risk, and avoid duty, by the simple
process of drugging our souls with
the narcotic OF meaningless phrase
mongering. Mr.. Hughes, to the ex-
act contrary, embodies the ideal OF
service rendered thru conscientious
effort in the face of danger and
difficulty. Mr.. Wilson turns his
words into deeds only if this can
be achieved by adroit political
maneuvering, by bartering de-
bauched civil service for congress
sional votes in behalf of some meas
ure when he had solemnly prom
ised to oppose. Our own self re-
spect demands that we support the
man of deeds done in the open
against the man of furtive and
shifting political maneuvers; the
man of service against the man
who, whenever opposed by dan
gerous foe, always takes refuge III
empty elocution. "
False SERVANTS Bctrdy Nation.
Il never uttered one word OF
criticism of President Wilson until
year and half after he was
elected president. If he had stood
by the honor and the interest of the
American people, would have
thrown up my hat for him and
would have supported him heart
and soul. | not merely kept silent
during the first eighteen months
or two years. l tried actively to
support him. The only errors l
have made in connection with Mr..
Wilson were due to incautiously ac-
cepting his statements and sup
porting his policies in the effort to
stand by the president.

that | was forced to the conclusion
that the effort to stand by him was
incompatible with standing by the
interests of mankind, and the
