The Democratic papers continue to proclaim that Col. Roosevelt's speeches are losing votes for the Republican party. If so, why not keep still about it, and let Roosevelt and the fool Republicans continue to make votes for Wilson? Or, can it be possible that our Democratic friends are really in earnest about making good on the presidential "one term plank" of their platform, which Mr. Wilson has repudiated, and are afraid that the Colonel's speeches will elect Mr. Wilson in spite of their wishes and efforts to the contrary?
