READERS
VIEWS
W
The Sentinel Will be pleased to re-
ceive letters for publication, from its
readers, under the above heading. A
brief and to-the-polnt communication,
as 11 general proposition, carries more
weight and conviction than a lengthy ‘
one in which the argument is not .
concentrated. We do most emphatic-
ally suggest brevity. Long~wlnded an I
ticlcs, we have observed, are the last
to be read, and are many times avoid-
ed altogether.
‘DEFENDS ‘BFOSEVELT
South Norwal, Conn.
March ls, 1912.
To the Editor of The Sentinel:
The. exchanges, in your political col-
umns. seem to be nearly unanimous in
condemning Colonel Roosevelt's atti-
tude respecting the Republican 110111'1- ‘
nation for president.
Some people are opposed to him un-
doubtedly because of an honest differ
ence of opinion, but, most 01' hip-op
poncnts and traduccrs are acting from
entirely different motives.

[11111117 them of a huge part ol their

and judges who can see that, in case
the courts are allowed to persist in de~i
footing reform legislation 'by declaringl
it unconstitutional, they will be the
real rulers of the people. instead of the
servants, as they should bc.
(We have many honorable and 11p-
l'lélll lawyers and judgcs. but, under
the present system of appointments
and selections, judgcshlps are, in ‘
many cases, bestowed as a reward for ‘

All those political bosses. financial
institutions who thiiio by controlling
them; and the largenumber of news-
papers, owned and controlled by the 1"
above mentioned bosses and financial
institutions, who see in Mr. Roosevelt’s
firm stand in favor of direct nomina.
tions, the death knell of the privileges .
and powers they have usurped.
The frantic howls, at present indulgv ;
ed in by the. Democratic press, is in to 2
self suificient to enlighten Republicans '
as to the real reason for their hys- ‘
torics. In politics, as in poker, if a:
man displays too much eagerness he
gives away his hand.
Colonel Roosevelt' s platform, as out-
lined in his speech at Columbus, Ohio, ~»
should be studied carefully by every 1
citizen of the United states and it rep- ,
resents those. principles for which Ab-
raham Lincoln gave the best years oi'p,
his life. 4 ,,
it must also. be borne in mind that
the man behind that platform is the,
most determined and aggressive fight- _
er in public life today and he will light
to the last ditch to Carry his program
into effect
With mam thanks for the use of,
your columns I am.
Very truly yours, ‘
