ROOSEVELT AND

Folk in his great speech before the
Democratic convention said that,
while partisan politics, as the Presi-
dent has said, is adjourned, yet there
were reasons why the wisest thing to
do is to elect Democrats to the Sen
ate and House; and he quoted Roose-
welt and President Harrison In sup
port Of this position.
In the fall OF '9S, after the fighting
was over, but before the peace treaty
with Spain was signed, the election
came on, and Theodore Roosevelt
urged people to sustain the admins.
tration by electing Republicans thus:
Remember that whether you will
or not, your votes this year will be
viewed by the nations OF Europe from
n standpoint only. They will draw
no fine distinctions. Your refusal TO
support the President this year will,
in their eyes, be a refusal to sustain
the efforts OF our Peace Commission
to secure the fruits Of the war"
And Ex.President Harrison used
the same argument in this form:
III the word goes forth that the PEG.
pie Of the United States are standing
solidly behind the President. the task
Of the Peace Commissioners would
be easy; but II there is a break In
the ranks. IL Democratic Senators,
Congressman and Governors are elect.
ed, Spain will see in II a CLEAN Of
hope"
II these were sound arguments
then, they come with re.doubled force

them then and sustained the Presi.
dents party by n large majority. The
reasons are a thousand times strong.
