and has sullenly and sometimes
maliciously soughth to punish the
men who by their truth telling have
forced it into action
I'm a word" the colonel said, 1.-The
democratic party, under the lead of
the administration has carried par
tisan politics during the last eight
cen months to an extreme never be-
fore known in this country in a time
of war, as among loyal upholders of
the war;. and it has come danger
ously near creating a condition Of
one-partyism.
THE test insisted upon has been
not loyalty to our allies and hostility
to Germany, but adherence to the adj
ministration," he declared adding that
President Wilson's request of Octo-
Der IA, that citizens should subscribe
to the loan, but leave to the gov
eminent of the United States and of
the allies the momentous discussions
initiated by Germany, could be in
terpreted as meaning that they
should both put up and shut up
Colonel Roosevelt asserted that "if
the administration had used with
moderate efficiency the results of
lavish generosity of Congress our
armies and the allied armies would
have been doing last March what they
are actually doing now in October"
After asserting that this war
must be put through ito our last
man and our last dollar, the colonel
declared that I'VE should accept no
peace not based on the unconditional
surrender of Germany and her vassal
states"
He asserted that the Presidents
latest notes had placed him in such
a position that he had either to
sacrifice America and humanity or
to respond in such q manner as to
stultify his own diplomacy and re-
pudiate his own implied offer"
1T was not a pleasant thing for
America that he should have put
himself and the nation behind him
in the position of inviting PROPOSE
ton which when accepted he repudi-
ated," declared the colonel For the
very reason that I abhor Germany's
trickery, treachery and~bad faith
am most anxious that Americans shall
not initiate her in these matters"
Asserting that peace would be set
! tied not by the President alone, but
by the President acting in conjunc-
ton with two thirds of the senate
the colonel continued
when it comes to peace negotia-
! tons we should emphatically repu-
diate the famous fourteen points an
nounced by. the President last Jan
| uary. Onesof them he has himself
repudiated and the remainder are
| either SO mischievous that they
| ought to be repudiated without fur
| Their definition or else we should in
| sist on having them defined in order
| to know exactly what they mean
| They have been greeted with en-
| thusiasm> by Germany and by al
| pro- Germans on this side of the wa
! ter, especially by the Germanized So
| cialists and by the Bolshevists OF
| every grade, and for this reason goot
| Americans should regard them with
| suspicion"
