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

fasehood and intended for the information assistance
of the Administration and its discontinue and de-
struction.
For the Hearst publications have advocated pre-
parednes and have been denounced ngoes the short
sighted for doing so.
For years these publications have advocated the
tension 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 years these publications have advocated the
structon of the greatest in the world and creation
of nationally owned merchant marine to act auxl
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 my former associates
Congress to vote for least make
our country safe for democracy.
Ever since the beginning of this European the
Hearst publications have dilaed upon the formidabeness
OF the German military machine and the necessity for i'm
mediate and immense effort the part of country
were to defend ourselves against that machine and
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 and
would be winning today the glorious victory which will
assuredy win in due time anyway spite delays in spite
of obstacles in spite of partisan obstruction and in spite of
treacherous attack in the by selfish politicians ami
mated by personal ambitions.
Let say conclusion that the attack upon the Ad-
minraon and the Incidental attack upon the Hearst pub
caons which only seeking to justice for the
Administrations the reactonary influences
of Wall Street The New York Tribune which supports Mr.
Roosevelt in his unpatriotc activities by Mills
and Reid estates two of the greatest and sinister of
New York financial forces and not wholly American
in character the Mills and Reid families both inter
married with the English aristocracy
The Metropolitan Magazine, which hires Mr.. Roosevelt
dollar word professional vuperator of the Presi
dent 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 magnate.
Nor is unusual to find Mr. Roosevelt such company
in the financial favor Of such influences.
Mr. Roosevelt in 1912 for President as candidate
cuted the Steel Trust
Mr. Roosevelt financed by Mr. Perkins of the Steel
Trust when Mr. Perkins of the Trust refused to
finance Mr. Roosevelt and his party in 1916 Mr. Roosevelt
shamefuy betrayed his Progressive party into hands of
the reactonary Republicans.
Mr. Roosevelt has always been badly camouflaped
instrument of these sinister financial interests from the time
that he personally President allowed the United States
Steel Corporation fagrant violation Of the
of nation to absorb the Tennessee Coal and
pany the time of the election in New York
City, when he followed the lead of the Steel Trust and the
Standard Oil Trust and declared against the nominee of his
party who had been regularly nominated by the Re-
publican voters the primary, which Mr.. Roosevelt
had always advocated
AS Mr.. Roosevelt and his unfounded allegations
overwhelmingly repudiated in the New York City election
Asquh and his unfounded allegations
whelmingly repudated in the House of Commons so Mr.
Roosevelt and political and public traitor should be
self dsoyay against his constituted leaders and against
the interests of his country for the meanest of all
tves-petty jealousy and personal gain.
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.
