whose fame and standing are nation
wide and world wide, the very presence
or whom in the White House would be
as sword and buckler against for
eign aggression. That man Is Theodore
Roosevelt.
The paramount, all absorbing issue
IN the next presidential contest must
be preparedness for national defense
preparedness not only against aggres-
sion from without. but against disloy-
atty and fatuous over confidence with
In. And. what Is preparedness?
Need of Leadership.
Brave words. their force soon spent
for lack of substance. have no defensive
power and contribute nothing to pre-
paredness. To borrow Lincoln,s
thought, breath alone stops no ag-
gressor. We need a navy. an army,
aircraft. coast defenses, all adequate
and reflectlng the best brains OF our
army and navy. But to get those, we
need leadership. The man at the head
of the nation, the president, must him.
self be part-the vital and vitalizing
part-of our preparedness. That one
of our citizens. who. in this time of in
decision and vacillation, stands out
above all others as leader Of courage
and discretion. Is Theodore Roosevelt.
He sees clearly, thinks straight, speaks
plainly. and acts promptly and vigor-
opsly. When president he put the peo-
pie of the United States upon a higher
moral plane than any other nation ev-
er attained. If made president he will
open the eyes of the American
people to the dangers that threaten us.
He will rouse-the nation to diligent and
thorough preparation. both physical
and moral. to meet those dangers.
Theodore Roosevelt can unite and
solidify every class OF our citizenship.
He does not recognize any difference
among citizens of the United States
Prejudicial discrimination against any
citizen because OF his blood and descent
is unthinkable to Theodore Roosevelt
When president he invited Booker
to break bread yith him at
The White House. He appointed Jew
10 his cabinet. Those were unpreced-
entcd acts in our history. They show
The broad democracy of the man. As
president he will not recognize any diff
ference between native born and for
,ign citizens. between German -Ameri- |
,ans. Irish Americans British -Ameri- |
,ans. or any other kind Of Americans,
so be that they are oil Americans in
'act ms well as In name.
ut Is not a condition of loyal Amer
canism with Theodore Roosevelt that |
IN American citizen should forget. or
ease to take pride in. the foreign
country of his descent. He has re-
,eatedly expressed his pride In his own |
lescent from Dutch stock. American
sm with him requires only that Amer !
can citizens shall put America first
That done. he does not care what coun-
ry has their secondary interest and |
ympathy. Theodore Roosevelt Is the
hampton OF the Square Deal With |
lin in the White House every element
4 our nationality and every foreign
,ation would receive equal treatment |

SENATE CHAMBER
CROWDED WHEN THE
VOTE WAS RECORDED

Washington, March 3.-Practically
ell administration senators were in
their seats on the senate's assembling
at IL o'clock. The usual routine was
dispensed with to clear the decks so
Senator Stone could make his agreed
motion to table the Gore resolution
warning Americans to keep off bellig-
erent merchantmen. The floor was
crowded with senators and represen-
tatives and the galleries, packed by a
throng, including the presidents wife,
fairly hummed with expectation. Sem
ator Gore, who yesterday made the
sensational declaration that he had
heard President Wilson expected war
with Germany. was led to his seat by
) his secretary, the cynosure of all eyes.
Administration leaders were conf
dent. Senator Owen, Cores colleague
saw the president this morning at the
White House and announced he would
support the president. Acting Chair
man Pou, of the house rules commit
tee. also saw the president, assuring
him victory for his position IN the
house.
Substitute 10 Offered.
Altar Senator Stone asked that the
1OI9 TeSOluIlOn De ldlu DeIOT6 The sem
ate. Senator Mecumber. Republican, of
North Dakota, offered substitute,
expressing 1t to be the sense of the
senate that the rules Of international
law be revised to meet new conditions
Of war and that pending negotiations
with foreign powers Americans be re-
Quested to refrain from endangering
Akheir lives by travelling on armed ships.
Senator Gore then offered a correc-
ton to his resolution to declare 1t to
be the sense Of the senate that the
death of an American citizen on an un-
armed merchant ship would be just
cause for war. The correction was per-
mitted, but Senator James, of Ken
lucky, moved that the corrected reso-
luton and all substitutes be tabled 1t
was decided necessary to consider Sen
ator Cores correction separately and
on roll call, the correction was tabled
68 to IA. the motion being SO framed
as to table the Gore resolution itself
and all other proposals.
Gore Votes With Majority.
Senator Gore himself voted to table
his resolution. Senators Chamberlain
and O'Gorman were the only Demo-
cratic senators who voted against the
administration. The other IL anti-ad-
ministration votes were Republican

Several senators explained that the
double form OF the question was re-
sponsible for the character of their
vote. as few senators wanted to vote
on the question regarding cause for
war Those that voted nay on the roll
call were: Borah, Chamberlain, Clapp,
Cummins, Fall. Gallinger, Gronna,
Jones. La Toilette, McCumber, Norris,
O'Gormon, Sherman and Works.
Issue War or Peace.
I'VE are approaching the issue Of
war or peace" declared Senator Sher-
man, Republican, who voted against
tabling the resolutions. ultimately
the way the chief executive Is travel
ing leads to but one close. 1t will end
in war or national abandonment or
humiliation. The action of the senate
today may be parliamentary. 1t may
be Justified by the exigencies of the
situation, but It smaclss so strongly of
cowardice. evasion and shirlsing Of re-
sponsibility that ! am justified in ap-
plying to 1t these critical words"
President Wilson after he had con-
ferred with Acting Chairman Pou of
the rules committee, determined to
have vote in the house. even IL a spe-
cial rule containing absolution were
required to get 1t. Insistence on a vote
came after varying reports as to the
stand OF the foreign affairs committee.
As yet no resolution has been agreed
on In the latter committee which would
command a majority vote.

Four years ago Harlan trailed Roose-

address at the Garrick theater last
night he declared that Roosevelt was
the one man to whom the country
could turn at this critical time. He
said in part:

convention. II successful, l shall work
