The Edwards and Johnson crowd try to
make you think Col. Roosevelt is with them.
I have challenged them to show one line from
him to prove that fact. They can't prove it.
If you consider that Col. Roosevelt is going
all over the AATst speaking for Hughes and
Fairbanks and urging every man who hears
his voice or reads his written articles, to vote
the straight Republican ticket—and when voii
know that Col. Roosevelt is not supporting a
Progressive ticket in any State where he has
been heard, how on earth can Edwards and
his crowd try to make you think that the
Col. is supporting a Progressive ticket in this
ONE State alone out of all the many other
States in the 1 nion. You judge what a man
stands for by what the man himself does and
says, or writes. You don't judge him by what
one or two men in the Edwards camp say he
is doing. The men who followed Col. Roose
velt in 1912 when he asked them to vote the
Progressive ticket, should follow him now
when he asks them to vote the straight Re
publican ticket. If you are for Roosevelt,
then you ought to be for what Roosevelt is
for now. And he is for the straight Republi
can ticket and has so stated hundreds of times
in his .speeches and letters and interviews.
They try to make you think they have some
sort of great influence or power because Air.
