ROOSEVELT AND
PREPAREDNESS
AN INTERVIEW GIVEN TO ONE
OF OI K WESTERN EDITORS
AND NEWSPAPERMEN.
A most interesting article about
; ex-President Roosevelt, appeared in
■ the Seattle Sunday Tintes of April
j 30. The article was written by C
; B- Blethen, editor of that paper who
is now in New York and shows the
'j n-jin as he is today. Likewise, how
he impressed and led the great edi
: tor to the conclusion that Roosevelt
was the man. of the hour- An ex
' cerpt of the article follows:
Older, graver, stronger
Such were the first mental nega
j fives 1 got of Theodore Roosevelt,
each made as fast as I could turn
up my cranial films. Older, graver
and stronger than I had pictured
1 him. than I believed him to be
from the utterly unconscious im
pressions recorded through the car
toons. dispatches, disparagements,
distortions current in our magazines
and newspapers since he left the
V hite House and set out on his
amazing. Incredible, comical, won
derful journey to the River of
Doubt.
The final portrait? A man who
kept the peace- A man who will
keep the peace of America as safe
ly the next time the opportunity
comes. An American. A states
man. a diplomat- a family man- A
natural leader. A fearless man. One
of the most distinguished and sim
ple gentlemen of the century An
advocate of real preparedness be
cause his sanity drives him to it
Thf only man of note in civil life
who understands what real pre
paredness is and has a sane, work
able. simple plan to save America
from the bayonets of her foes!
To retouch the negative finally ob
tained let us add that he is avari
cious of knowledge and utterly in
capably of realizing that his naive
interest in everything he encounters
and his frank comments thereon has
been the cause of most of the ridi
cule his enemies heap upon him
Simple sincerity accounts for the
River of Doubt, the man-eating fish,
the nut-eating bird- Simple sin
cerity made him say that America
didn’t want him to be President
again unless it was prepared to ac
cept him in an heroic mood.
-Not Posing as Hero
Nothing is sillier than the thought
that Colonel Roosevelt meant to an
nounce himself as a hero- Unfor
tunately, he meant a big thing and
used intensely picturesque America
in describing what he thought- If
I may venture a guess he meant—
Don t take me if the majority of
the voters still expect to retain the
benefits of government without ac
cepting its obligations- Don’t take
me if you expect to be allowed to
shirk your duties. Don’t take me
if you expect the pork barrel to
take precedence over America's de- i
fense- Don’t take me if you expect
to face the possibility of war with
hired soldiers to protect you- Don’t
take me if you expect me to toler
ate an America made up of a lot
of l-.lle hyphenated Americas. Fin
ally don’t take me if you expect a
continuance of the Wilson policy* in
foreign or continental affairs” This
!' ° -j a guess; Colonel Roosevelt
didn’t.say this; it didn’t come up in
the conversation.
But this simple sincerity is what
makes him “Teddy" and “T. R-” to
those who know him. Not that they
address him that way by a long
shot- But they can’t help calling
him one or the other as terms of
respectful affection- His intimates
by the way, refer to him simply as
“the Colonel.” His son Archie calls
him “the Boss " And it is this trait
that makes the average American
realize that Colonel Roosevelt would
not only show" interest in the new
padlock on the bam door; he would
actually feel that interest!
Can’t Depend on Democrats
It is no news to the readers of
The Seattle Times and The New
York Herald that the writer is
greatly interested and deeply con
cerned in. the cause of real pre
parednss- A month, not idly spent,
in watching from a ringside seat
the antics of our mis-representative
Congress and our misguided and *
misinformed administration, convinc
ed me that adequate preparedness
was not to be expected from the
party in power. For two reasons
Congress does not understand the
sentiment of the country any more
than does the administration- Nor
i does either understand what ade
quate preparation for defense against
j a modem military power means
i’*"h’ee months’ contact with citizens
i of widely scattered states—genuine
| ztner*—taught me that Wilson's
j length was waning, Roosevelt's
growing, that there are no other
■ possible candidates, and that »}.e
i American people want both ade
; quate preparedness for defens: and
adequate power to uphold our dig
nity amongst nations.
What more natural, then, than my
desire to investigate the rumors that
T. R would insist on adequate pre
paredness if he finally did become
President again? Or that I desired
| to know what the Roosevelt idea of
;adequate preparation is? Particular
; ly Utor examining the Democratie
' brand exhibited in Washington.
The editor was taken to Oyster
Bay where he was received by the
: cx-President. After the interview.
Mr. Blethen draws the following
; conclusion:
The Completed Picture
I had secured my mental nega
tives- What about the finally de
veloped picture ?
Here it. is:
1 He’s older, graver, stronger, than
I thought he’d be. He’s just about
the best American I ever rah' across.
He is so little like the “T. R ” of
cartoon and editorial that he leaves
you amazed, yet he’s so much like
that same “T. R " that it is easy
to understand the distorted pictures
{minted by his enemies
If he should become the Repub
lican candidate for President—which
I think he will—I think his plat
form will have about four planks,
the last of which I can only guess
at. because I have been so much in
terested in the other three- I be
lieve that, in the event of his nom
ination. he will talk and insist upon
adequate preparedness first. Ameri
canism. with its application t° the
hyphenates, second, and internation
al duty, third. I think that his idea
of international duty revolves around j
the line, “to thine own self be ■,
true” For a fourth plank I nom
inate. without authority, the tariff
One Man for Preparedness
Theodore Roosevelt is the one
possible man who can and will give
this country adequate preparedness
It is my firm belief that the first
message he writes as President—and
I expect him to be the next Presi
dent—will deal with preparedness ,
And I believe that he will keep at
it till he gets it- For that reason -
he should have the support before
and after the Republican convention
of those of us who believe in mak- \
ing our country safe from war
Naii, now, the lies that Roosevelt (
would get us into war first thing,
were he President. It was Roose- •
velt who three times kept us out
of wars with major powers, and
then deliberately gave the credit to !
the leadrs of the powers involved!
Unless it be too late, he’ll keep us
out of war again, if the people de
mand his nomination and election j
The newspaper of which I have i
the honor to be editor has no party j
politics- It does not attempt toI
force its choice of candidates upon !
its readers- But it does believe in ;
adequate preparedness and has done ’
its little best in that cause
Wherefore, a certain amount of j
interest attaches to the fact that
Theodore Roosevelt is the first big
man in civil life who has proven
to me that he understands and will
fight for my own cause- Note, too. j
that I say he is not the man he is j
represented to be
He’s a wonderful American- I
don’t see w-ho else can make this I
country defend itself against its
enemies. Nor should there be any
one else with this great diplomat,
scholar, statesman, ready to answer
the call of his country. *
I would like to write. I SHALL
VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT. It would
be more accurate perhaps to say, I
expect to vote for him
Anyway, those of U3 who advo
cate preparedness are going to have
a great deal of interest in the out
come of the Republican convention
