Show H President Roosevelt. H I Theodore Hooscelt is a man who B i does tilings and lie has done them In H I a way dillcrcnt fioin that which mot J othcis would have taken to do them. , For that icason he has a host of B! enemies not altogether political. ' Them ate men overyvvhcic who ob- Ht jeet to the unexpected way of accom- H pHshing things even though that un- B expected way piovcs the shortest and ! best way. A man who has the bialns H to wotk out a new method and the Hj braciy to carry that method into B cllcct seems to cast .1 ictlcction on H, that class or men who do business in B I ' a way long lecognied as the only way B " of doing things, and as a consequence B , these men get "soie". They ate B foiced to recognic the new power, the BS - new method, the new man in the ,! Held, Die new brain, and they know BB 1 there is something large with which Bl f they must measuic swords. BJ ' That's the position TheodoieRoosc- BH velt occupies In the political Held to- BB , day. He is a new power. He has In- BBft divlduitlity, works along dilTerent BB lines and accomplishes his ends with BBjjj' an ease and ceilalnty that suipilscs. BBm Asthcoldci man hates to locognie BB ' the tenuis of the boy under him, so Bfl ! do the older heads in politics tcgrct BB 1 to acknowledge the new power, the BB t new method, the dilferent and easier BB t way of accomplishing things. BB ' For the last ccntuiy, it has been BB generally lccognlrcri that a canal BB ,' across the Isthmus of Panama was an BB '.j absolute necessity and not one of BB '' cither political party but l)ellees the BB 1 United States should havcconttol of BB t( that canal. Though many heads had BJ 'j planned, schemed,' talked about, dls- BB til cussed and debated that Isthmian Can- BB , al (ucstlon, nothing dclinitc had been BB , accomplished until McKtnley's ad- BB : ministration. Steps were taken then BB to bring about the successful complc- BBji tion of that canal. However, at the BBJ time of Wm. McKinlcy's death, the BH ' canal question was in a precarious BB ' condition, but when Theodore Roose- BBjt velt became l'residcnt, he "took the H ' bull by the horns," so to speak, called B an extra session of Congress, llnally H bull-docd a little count ly down H ' among the hills into giving us what HJ we wanted and work on the canal is H ' J being pushed. BB j Theodore Hoosevel I took hold of the BJ Trust question, and despite every BB j! prediction, won out against the H -' Northern Seeuiltles Company. H J Theodore Roosevelt invites whom H T lie pleases 10 eat with him, lie dilves , , with whom ho pleases, recognizing littlo precedent. He Is a common man such as the common people love, admire and respect, and the envy and haticd of the mossbacks in cither party but adds to his glory and will assist In giving him an overwhelm!!-ing overwhelm!!-ing majority at the polls on November Novem-ber 4th. |
