We have come upon days in our social that he has become to them a public necessity, an essential part of things in the social and political fabric. Therefore, Theodore Roosevelt is not only the one logical candidate for nomination but' manifestly is the only logical president for the people.

Already has it been demonstrated that the frightened and vengeful wealth controlling forces of the country, will resort to any means to defeat his nomination for a presidental third term.
