Mr.. Hearst's Critical Analysis of
Nv. Roosevelt and His Political Purposes

fasehood and intended for the information and assistance
of the Administration and discontinue and de-
structon.
For years the Hearst publications have advocated
and have been denounced ngoes the short
sighted for doing
For years these publications have advocated the
of West Point and Annapolis and the establishment
OF national universities throughout the country to provide
trained officers for the and in time of need
For these publications have advocated the
srucon of the greatest navy the world and creation
of nationally owned merchant marine to act auxil
iary navy in time of war
Every since the beginning of the European the
Hearst publications have advocated universal service and
personally went to Washington and wrote in the Washing
ton Post signed article appealing to former associate
in Congress to for universal service make
our own country safe for democracy.
Ever since the beginning of this European the
Hearst publications have dlaed upon the formdablenes
OF the German military machine and the necessity for I'M
mediate and immenG2 effort the Fart Of country if
were TO defend ourselves against that machine
tually overwhelm it,
If the advice of the Hearst publications taken
we would be applying today in determining way the
supreme force which the President calls for
would be winning today the glorious victory which we will
assured win in due time spite of delays spite
o obstacles in spite of partisan obstruction and in spite
treacherous attack in the by selfish politicians ami
mated by personal ambitions.
Let say in conclusion that the attack upon the Adj
mnstraon and the incidental attack upon the Hearst pub
icatons which only seeking to justice for the
Administration emanates from the reactionary influences
of Wall Street The New York Tribune which supports Mr.
Roosevelt in his unpatriotc activities is owned by the Mills
and Reid estates two of the greatest and sinister
New York financial forces and not wholly American
in character, the Mills and Reid families both inter
married with the English arstocracy
The metropolitan Magazine, which hires Mr. Roosevelt
at dollar word professional vuperator the Pres
dent is owned by the Whitney estate which administered
by Harry Payne Whitney, grandson OF Henry B. Payne the
Standard Oil magnate and of William c. Whitney the
New York traction magnatc.
Nor it unusual to find Mr. Roosevelt in such comDany
or in the financial favor Of such influences
Mr. Roosevelt in President az candidaf.
the Steel Trust and to defeat MIR TAFT no had nrosa
cuted the Steel Trust
Mr. Roosevelt financed by Mr. Perkins of the SteeR
Trust and when Mr. Perkins of the Steel refused t.
finance Roosevelt and his party 1916 Mr. Roosevelt
shameu betrayed his Progressive party the hands o.
the reactionary Republicans
Mr.. Roosevelt has alwayssbe a badly camoufaoaY
of these sinister financial from the tn
that he personally President allowed the United States
Corporation in fragrant violation of the
the nation absorb the Tennessee and Iron Com
panv down the time of the election in New Yor
Citv when he followed the the Steel Trust and H.
own party who had been regularly nominated by the r.
publican voters in the primary, which Mr. Roosevelt
had always advocated.
/ AS Mr. Roosevelt and his unounded allegations wers
overwhelmingy repudiaed in the New York City election
and AsQuth and his unounded allegations were
Iwhemingy repudiated in the House of Commons SO MIR
Roosevelt every political and public traitor should be
overwhelmingly repudiated whenever such sets him
the best interests of his country for the of all n
hves-petty jealousy and personal gain.
