Franklin D. Roosevelt has been identi
fed as an under Secretary.
e Condemned wisconsin.
Theodore Roosevelt condemned WI.
sonism and the whole Wilson admins
tration in unsparing terms.
Read anew what he said at Cooper
Union on November 3, 1916:
81 have been assailed because / have
criticised Mr.. Wilson. have not said
one thing of him that was not absolute
( ly accurate and truthful.
a have not said one thing of him
which ! did not deem it necessary to
say because Of the vital interests of
this republic.
Il have criticised him because be
lieve he has dragged in the dust what
was most sacred in our past and has
1eopardized the most vital hopes of
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 cieverly and with sinister
ability sought to misiead many men
and women who are neither weak nor
unworthy. but who have been misled
by 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 spsnEled shroud OF
rhetoric
He has kept the eyes OF the PEG
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
'In the face of the world he has GOV.
cred this nations face with shame as
with a garment"
So much for Theodore Roosevelt's
opinion OF Wilson and wisconsin in
support OF which Franklin d. Roose-
felt, lifelong Democrat, would now in
