Colonel describ 0g{jvered at Greensboro, April 22. 1912. jn opening his speech Koosevelt vvho had been as something of a fighter by 5^nator Dixon, Jiiade a sallj^, Sich found a quick respose from the crowd, some yelling, ^ow's he’s fixed you Joe.’^ Rprinning Colonel Roosevelt Lf- “I suppose it is very ap- Dropriate that I should choose a North Carolina Quaker to man* age my campaign. ’ ’ The pause *hat followed brought a hearty laugh, everyone catching the significance of an alliance be? tween a Tar Heel Quaker and a warrior such as Colonel Roosevelt had been declared to be. But as the laugh on Senator Dixon subsided Colonel Rooseveh told the real reason for the select ion of a North Carolina Quaker as his manager. ‘ ‘I have known Senator Dixon a long time, and I have found by actual experience with him while I was in thir White House, and he was iir«t in the lower house and then in the senate, thai he and I looked a- like at the great questions of polities.” said the speaker. Paus ir.g for applause to subside Col. Rooseveit continued with this tribute to the former Carolinian and his manager. “By this ex- perience I found he was a man 1 could tie to, a man of absolute iionest.v, of good sense, of cour age. a man who was for me vrhen there was no question of getting on the band wagon, and, friends, a man whom I wished to kve manage my canvass be cause I know him to be a man oi‘ stainless integrity and of the nicest sense of honor; so that .1 could rest absolutely assured that there would not be one thing done in my campaign which I would fear to have exposed to the open light.” With a reference to the pleas ure it gave him to speak from the porch of the home of Judge Gilmer, a man whom Abraham Lincoln offered a position in his cabinet, Colonel Roosevelt plung ed into the real text of his mess age to the people of North Caro lina. “I am going to speak first of all to those of you who are Be publicans, then to the whole out fit,” said the former President with a characteristic display of the famous teeth. Speaking to his Republican hearers he ex pressed a deep sense of gratitude and obligation for the way in which the party in this state had stood by him. “It had touched me very deeply,” he declared with a manner that clearly show ed the sincerity of his words. Speaking generally Colonel Roosevelt declared that he had always felt a big sense of kinship v>ith the south. “I am a half southerner,” he said “my moth er having been a Georgian.” ‘But her people were no*^ Repub licans” admitted the son amid a general roar from the crowd. Heferring to the war between the states he said; “two of my uncles wore the gray uniform in the war and I feel, and I know you feel with me, that it is the niost blessed of things for all the country that now all Americans v/herever they live can look back with the sam.e feeling of pride alike to those who wore the blue and the gray in the great war. Each alike, proved his l^^ealty by his endeavor, each, a- like showed that he was willing to risk everything, life itself, in following an ideal, in living up to the light as God had granted nim to see the light.” With a quick reversal of pose Colonel Roosevelt assumed his old fighting attitude, his teeth clicking and his gestures became vigorous. “I want to serve no tice on those of you here whoare ’^ot Republicans, that if I get nominated I am coming back to Horth Carolina in October and «gnt for the electoral vote .of your state,” he declared with ^uch a burst of zeal that even the Quaker, Dixon, spurred by the cry of the fighter, forgot that he (Continued to page 3.) . ; Woodman of the World.
