UNITED STATES FLEET IS MAKING
Into the contest makes the situation so
complex that in my opinion the election
of United-States Senator will be thrown

statement No. 1 men will not, I believe,
be in the majority, the opponents of that
provision of the primary law, or those
who do not believe in the election of
Senators by the people will have an op
portunity to manipulate the legislature
and acomplish the defeat of the Republi
can candidate while at the same time
electing another Republican with a longer
reach, to the office. It was for this
reason that I withdrew. I do not believe
there was any use in fighting out a con
test for nomination only to have to re
new the contest in the legislature, so I
thought what's the use."

a sort of text. "Equal rights were won

We are living in a commercial era the
happiest that has ever dawned upon free

In conclusion Mr. Straus paid a high
tribute to President Roosevelt.
Xeed of the "Big Stick."
A community cannot remain muntcipal'y
corrupt and commercially honest. The civic

or go down together. There never was more
urgent need for right thinking and right
acting In corporate and in political affairs
than now for a power that makes for
righteousness in our every-day a ft airs.
from labor toward caoltal no less than
from capital toward labor; the power of
the "big stick" Is needed because there aro
big abuses to be corrected and big law
breakers to be elicck-d. Let us thank God
that there sits in the White House a man
who possesses a mind enriched with an
historian's knowledge of the past united
with a statesman's forecast of the future
who has the moral courage of a Lincoln
to fearlessly uphold a standard of right
doing, and to redress the justified grievances
of the masses, and if those grievances are
not redressed in a spirit of justice, the
demons of resentment and revenge will
become their allies.

her. During the march toward the City
