Addressing the Ohio Democratic
State Convention at Columbus on
August 18th, among other things
Governor Cox said:
"Need I remind you that 1t was In
this State that Theodore Roosevelt,
that great American, made his speech
procIaimlng his creed. not that the
Judges alone should be recalled. but

knew Theodore Roosevelt well. and
was proud TO follow his leadership.
needs to be told that he lived to realize
he errsr 81 that specific doctrine which
Governor Coz now dragS from the
politica, limbo OF dead things.
But aside from this. the n out.
standing note In Roosevelt's great ca
reer was his uncompromising. tried
and true Americnnism. He was an
American above and beyond every
thing else. His Americnnism aross
above oil party considerations. lie
wal Jealous OF his country's honor.
proud Of Its traditions. jealous In the
maintenance of its integrity and Inde-
pendence. He labored necessarily to
promote that national unity which hs
believed to be one OF the safeguards
OF the Republic; and his faith In
Washington's Farewell Address and In
tho Monroe Doctrine was such that
he regarded strict adherence TO the In
functions of both as the two great bull
warks of our national existence. IL IL
we're necessary to prove these asser-
lions, columns could be quoted from
his writings and speeches In support
thereof. But one has only to mention
the name OF Theodore Roosevelt to
bring before the mind a picture OF a
United States strong. self-rellnnt and
Independent.
R~ooseyslt's Position Clear.
One does not have TO ponder long to
reach a conclusion, therefore. where
Roosevelt would stand II happily he
were among us today. The man who
In 1918 avowed that the supreme na-
tionai need was the overthrow OF VIII
sonism and all that wisconsin repre-
sents would have n mighty well-dehned
position in the fighting today IL he
were with us, and he would not be
ranged on the side Of Governor Cox.
The man who. though age was creep
ing upon him, demanded rs bis right
that he be sent across to face with the
two hundred thousand men that clam
ored TO accompany him, the German
menace and who grimiy laid down The
plea that by his end on the field OF
battle the dropping morale Of the en-.
tente forces might be revived. though
the death of a former President OF tho
United States would have had little In
common with a candidate whose news
papers proclaimed sixteen months aft
err the sinking of the Lusitania. that
1.-THE German U-boats have committed
no crime against u.s."
Remember in what stirring words
Roosevelt denounced tho Lusitania
linking, and how, throughout oil that
drab period Of American neutrality.
his powerful voice rang through the
land awakening the patriotism OF our
people to the elimination In April.
1917, when even Mr.. Wilson finally
was compelled to face tho inevitable.
There Is no law against Governor
Cox's use Of Colonel RooseyeIt's
name. Nor Is there any law on the
statute books providing for the crimes
which are committed In the name Of
progressiyeness for which Colonel
Roosevelt stood. There are Nnpoleons
Of finance. Of wheat, Of oil and Of
industry. but there was only one Ma
p0ieon. There are Jimmies and Ed
dies and Harries, but there was only
one Teddy.
. In the campaign upon which We
have entered, the name Of Roosevelt
will b invoked many times In many
places In behalf Of many things. But
few In all the great army Of those
who followed Roosevelt will be De-
ceived. They know above all other
things that the safety and integrity
Of the United States lay closest to
Theodore Rocseveit's heart, and with
! them his doctrine of stalwart Ameri-
canism will prevail against any preach
ment Of progressiveisn which seeks
/ to lure them from the path Of patri-
( etic duty.
