Show THE CITIZEN 6 Utah something other than misleading half-trututtered by a smooth and clever tongue? Toe the honorable mark for once, Mr. Welling, in this matter, and in your other attacks upon Utah's really industrious senator, Reed Smoot. hs For President WARREN G. HARDING Vice-Preside- nt CALVIN COOLIDGE LEAGUE LIARS United 8tates 8enator AND LITTLE FRANKIE REED SMOOT The leading juvenile of the campaign, the mock Roosevelt who is candidate for on the Democratic ticket, attempts to mimic the great Roosevelt by employing the short and guly word which his namesake burned as a brand on talented prevaricators. When Theodore Roosevelt employed the word, even though he did it unjustly as he sometimes did in his rage it immediately discredited the opponent to whom it was applied. But when the pink parlor Roosevelt employs the epithet it sounds like some hothouse Reginald simpering, Oh, you little fibber. The parlor Roosevelt is now denouncing the opponents of the Wilson League as League liars. Any argument sounds like a lie to him who understands neither the covenant nor the arguments used against it. When the Democratic convention indorsed the Wilto nominate son covenant they should have had sufficient gray-mattcandidates with more than schoolboy intelligence to defend it. Franklin Roosevelt is a little pampered pet lamb parading about the country in the lion skin mantle of Theodore Roosevelt. Is it hero, who, possible that anyone can be deceived by the swivel-cha- ir when other Roosevelts were waging war, waged a war garden. In 1898, Theodore Roosevelt was assistant secretary of the navy. When the Maine was blown up and war with Spain became inevitable he quit his swivel chair in the navy department and formed a regiment of rough riders and hard fighters .to fight in the very forefront of battle in Cuba. He had been a fighter from the time he first undertook the work of a man. In North Dakota, where he owned a ranch, he made his mark for unfaltering courage and sheer nerve, among the game men of the plains. Whenever his country was in danger he was ready to use his courage and his leadership like a patriot. Even when he was old and when the fevers of the River of Doubt worked havoc in his body he was like a giant chained until' he saw a chance of getting to the battle front once more. He seized the chance and applied to the Democratic president for permission to go the war in France, but the chief of the army and navy rebuffed him as if he. had been some tramp asking for a coin. It was not necessary for him to send his sons to the war; they had inherited his courage and patriotism and they leaped to arms even before their country called them. That was the great Roosevelt. And now an imitation Roosevelt plays through the land lisping saucily, Youre a liar. When the war came he, too. occupied the position of assistant secretary of the navy. He, too, had an opportunity to make good as a fighting Roosevelt. Instead, he clung to his clerical job throughout the conflict, except for a few pleasant observation trips on warships. While the great Roosevelts son was daring the perils of the air and meeting a warriors death in battle with some brave foeman of the skies, our rosebund Roosevelt was winding himself about with red tape and looking his prettiest. We hope that when is over and League liars arc at rest little Frankie will enjoy himself playing London bridge is falling down and drop the handkerchief.
