Colonel Roosevelt for the Republican
nomination:
1 am for Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause there is no mistaking his posi-
ton on Americanism. preparedness,
and the other vital issues of the day.
We know where he stands. Can as
much be said for any other candidate
now before US?
I think that if he is nominated that
America will go through a period of
prosperity that will last long after the
war in Europe is over, and this, in my
opinion, is very important factor for
the American people to consider.
Theodore Roosevelt has had wider
experience than any other man in
the country. He has held the office
and knows the situation both here
and abroad, better than any other liv-
| ing man He knows personally all the
European powers and they know him,
and l believe that at this particular
time this is a most important element
in the situation; and 1 further believe
that Roosevelt would gather more
votes than any other candidate who
could be put before the American
people
