-PUT ONE OVER" ON THEODORE

Pueblo countryside
Two or three times in the past
ten days folks have told Countryside
that President Wilson made a mis-
take when he asked the voters to
elect Democrats to Congress-. After
studying it over carefully, taking the
known evidence and sitting it thru q
sieve Of common sense that we bor-
rowed We are ready to hand in the
verdict: President Wilson did not
make mistake. It was the people.
It's mighty seldom that President
Wilson makes a mistake, but the peo-
pie make 'em right hand running.
President Wilson did only what some
of the brightest men-Republicans-
the world has ever known, did back in
1898. He looked back there when we
were at war with Spain and saw "es-
tablished precedent" thicker'n hair on
dog-great men like former presi-
dent Ben Harrison, saying: "If the
word goes forth that the people of The
United States are standing solilly
behind the president, the task of tho
Peace Commissioners will be easier;"
tremendous men like Theodore Roose-
welt shouting "a refusal to sustain
the president this year will be read
as refusal to sustain the war;" all
over the land Republicans standing on
tip-toe yelling: "Stand by the Presi-
dent" newspapers fairly suffering it
they talked so fast and everywhere
they quoted that appeal of Abraham,
Lincoln, made in Civil War days: mot
to swap horses while crossing q
stream" Looking back at other war
days when it was Republican horses
Republicans in the saddle and Repub-
licans yelling, President Wilson saw
si' that established precedent and he
asked the people only what Abraham
Lin-oln. Ben Harrison, what Theodore
Roosevelt once asked and WHAT THE
PEOPLE THEN GRANTED. No,
we can't admit that Abraham Lincoln
and Ben Harrison and Woodrow VII
son made mistakes and the very. fact
that T. Roosevelt in 1918 took hack
what he said IN 1893 that they didn't.
Even the verdict Of the people proves
it. Twice ont Of three times they did
stand by the president" This time
they put one over" On themselves and
