| Touring the country as q candidate
| for Vice President, Franklin D. Roose-
vslt IL vainly endeavoring to invoke
the progressive spirit Of 1912 in sup
port Of wisconsin and the election Of
ths Democratic ticket in November.
What would the real Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt-the immortal T.
Ray to his followers were he alive
todayi
Gone, he left burning words which
tell all too plainly what his attitude
would be at this time
he abhorred wisconsin, Just As he
abhorred Danielism. with both of which
Franklin d. Roosevelt has been identi-
hed as an under Secretary.
Condemned wisconsin,
Theodore Roosevelt condemned VIII
ssnism and the whole Wilson admins
tration In unsparing terms.
Read anew what he said at Cooper
Union on November s, 1915:
~ have been assailed because I have
criticised Mr.. Wilson. have not said
| zoe thing Of him that was not absolute
ly accurate and truthful.
II have not said one thing Of him
which did not deem 1t necessary to
say because of the vital interests of
this republic.
II have criticised him because be-
lieve he has dragged in the dust what
was most sacred in our past and has
jeopardized the most vital hopes Of
| II criticise him now because he has
adroitly and cleverly and with sinister
ability appealed to all that Is weakest
and most unworthy in the American
character; and also because he has
adroitly and cleverly and with sinister
ability sought to mislead many men
and women who are neither weak nor
unworthy, but who have been misled
BY a shadow dance of words.
"He has made our statesmanship a
thing of empty elocution.
"He has covered his fear of stand
ing for the right behind veil of
rhetorical phrases.
He has wrapped the true heart Of
the nation in a spangled shroud of
rhetoric.
HE has kept the eyes of the peo-
pie dazzled SO that they know not what
II real and what is false. So that they
turn, bewildered, unable to discern the
difference between the glitter that
veneers evil and the stark realities Of
courage and honesty, of truth and
strength.
"In the face of the world he has COW
with 4 garment"
SO much for Theodore Roosevelt's
opinion Of Wilson and wisconsin in
support Of which Franklin d. Rooss-
welt, lifelong Democrat, would now In
woke the progressive spirit Of 1921
Abhorrsd DanisIIsnr.
And what did Theodore Roosevelt
think Of Daniels administration Of the
Navy Department Of which the Demo
crat, franklin d. Roosevelt, has been
more Of less conspicuous factor and
partf
In q speech on "Americanism and
National Defense" at Chicago, Octo-
Der %, 1919, Theodore Roosevelt said !:
More harm has been done to the
navy BY the politicians in power dur
ing ths last three years than In the
preceding thirty. Whatever good has
been accomplished In the navy during
the last three years has been done by
naval ofncers, who, In most cases. have
been snubbed and punished for their
proposals as long as 1t was safe to do
20; whereas Mr.. Daniels now turns and
claims credit fer what was thus forced
upon him.
I'm short. throughout President VIII
sons term there has been neglect or
positive maladministration In connec-
ton With departmental organization in
navy yards. aeronautics, mines and tor
pedoes. and in all other matters affect
ing the efnciency Of the feet and the
enthusiasm of its officers and men,
The activity and energy Of the
Navy Department under President VIII
son has been primarily concentrated
upon schemes aimed at vote-getting or
Advertising"
This, then. 10 wha; Theodore Roose-
welt thought Of the administration Of
the Department from which Franklin
d. Roosevelt. Democrat and exponent
Of Wilsonism. fain would reach the
Vice Presidency and have progressives
Of 1912, followers Of the real Rooss-
velt. help to keep the Democratic par.
