What would the real Roososo,.
theodore Roosevelt-the immorto, y
R.-say to his followers were bo o,,-
today7 aiiSe
Gone he left burning words wb,o,
tell all too plainly what his att,t,,s-
would be at this time.
He abhorred wisconsin, lust ., :.
abhorred Danielism, with both of ub,as
Franklin d. Roosevelt has been ,dont,
hed as an under Secretary.
Condemned wisconsin
Theodore Roosevelt condemned VII
sonism and the whole Wilson adm,r,.
tration in unsparing terms.
Read anew what he said at Coono,
Union on November 3, 1915:
II have been assailed because hou.
criticised Mr.. Wilson. 1 have not sais
one thing of him that was not absoluto-
ly accurate and truthful.
Il have not said one thing NJ h,r,
which l did not deem 1t necessary IA
say because Of the vital interests ~
this republic.
i have criticised him because bs.
heve he has dragged in the dust wbat
was most sacred In our past and hssl
1eopardized the most vital homes al
our future.
Il 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 misIed
by a shadow dance of words.
HE has made our craftsmanship a
thing Of empty elocution.
HE has covered his fear OF stand.
Ing for the right behind a 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
is 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.
I'm the face of the world he has Gov
cred this nations face with shame as
with garment"
So much for Theodore Roosevelts
opinion Of Wilson and wisconsin in
support Of which Franklin d. Roose-
velt, lifelong Democrat, would now In
yoke the progressive spirit of 1921
Abhorred DanieIIsm.
And what did Theodore Roosevelt
hink of Daniels administration Of the
Navy Department of which the Demo
rat, Franklin d. Roosevelt, has been
more or less conspicuous factor and
)art7
In speech on "Americanism and
Defense" at Chicago, Octo-
'er 70, 1916, Theodore Roosevelt said:
More harm has been done to the
iavy by the politicians in power dur
ng the last three years than in the
preceding thirty. Whatever good has
cen accomplished in the navy during
he last three years has been done BY
avail officers, who, in most cases, have
cen snubbed and punished for their
roposals as long as 1t was safe to do
o; whereas Mr.. Daniels now turns and
laims credit for what was thus forced
pom him.
In short, throughout President VIII
on's term there has been neglect or
osiuve maladministration In c0nnec-
on with departmental organization In
aVy yards, aeronautics, mines and tor
edoes, and in all other matters affect
lg the efficiency of the feet and the
Enthusiasm of its officers and men.
The activity and energy Of the
avy Department under President VIII
On has been primarily concentrated
pom schemes aimed at vote-getting or
dvertislng."
This, then, is what Theodore Roose-
cit thought of the administration OF
he Department from which Franklin
I. Roosevelt, Democrat and exponent
wisconsin, fam would reach the
Ice Presidency and have progressiTes
