Qf course there are thousands
of cltlwn who now are very
pronounrci) In their views on the
matter of supporting Roosevelt
and his new party, hut It is quite
probable that lefore the time

come to realize, as have the
men mentioiit ii. that it is not a
matter of personal feelings but
we of great importance to the
nation nnd that, if they are Re
publicans from principle, it will
be more vi-e to continue the
Party of prosperity In power
rather than allow the jKwer to
pass into thf hands of disgrunt
led politicians of Itoth parties.
Roseveii and his advisers,

they found they could not rule
they took the other course.
When Senu'or Borah nnd Gover

tention, jimt as ardent supporters
of Roonevelt as were the others,
they went in to win if possible,
