Show H OHILDREN . ARE PRAYING FOR HIM. H How can you defeat a man who, to his own powerful forces of H brain and brawn and muscle, has added the prayers of the children? H On October 20 Theodore Roosevelt received the following letter from H a little boy: H Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Mercy Hospital. H Dear Mr. Roosevelt: I hope you are getting on nicely, for I M want you to be our president. If 1 was a man I would like to H help you, and work hard for you, and tell the people how gcod H! you are, but I am only ten years old. I am sending some money H that I made Belling flowers to help you, and I want you to keep M It, I pray every night that you will aeon bo well, and I know H that God Is helping you, My brother, he Is Ave; he prays, too. H Yours truly, VINCENT CURTIS BALDWIN, H 1720 Kates Ave., Chicago. M Oct. 19, 1912. Wlien word was flashed across the continent that Roosevelt had H 6een shot and later when the bulletin's announced that the courageous H man, with blood flowing from his wound, had addressed an audience H Ahich had gathered to hear him, and. later, when the doctors au- H nounced that Roosevelt's excellent physical condition, due to ab- Hl atcmious habits, would save hira, a prominent banker of Ogden said, H "From now on I am for Roosevelt, The man's true character is H beautifully revealed in this near-tragedy."' So with not only the H prayers of the children, but the affections of rich and poor alike, H Roosevelt should win. , |
