General Nelson A. Miles, U. s. A., retired, in the Cincinnati En quirer Sept. 3d, gave out a scorch ing statement in which he adores former President Roosevelt, who is a candidate for a third term in the presidential chair. Gener.il Miles said: "No usurper or despot ever t>uc ceeded until the people of tin; country were in a condition jaiul mood to pass under the tyranny of a dictator. The change from servitude and oppression on the part of the people to liberty ami independence is wrought l>y violence, heroic deeds and grcul sacrifice. "The change from dernocr,i<\ to despotism is slow, subtle, in sidious and fatal. The usurpation, the tyranny, the spoliation of the Caesars, the two Napoleons, Crom well, Robespierre and Diaz, whs all accomplished under the name and pretense of a republic. "False prophets have arisen and demagogues have flourished, but never before has one appeared in our country possessing the worst elements of both, and at the same time consumed with his own selfish ambition. This is the true character of Theodore Rooseveli. the present candidate of his own misnamed progressive party. "The American citizens heed only to look at his record to recog nize the most colossal fraud that this country has ever produced, and the most unfit man for the responsible and dignified office of president. Lacking the qualities and characteristics requisite to a proper discharge of the duties of that high office, and having an excess of such as positively dis qualify him. in order to deal fair ly with him on a basis of facts undeniable, it is necessary to pre sent him in his true light, as: "Roosevelt, the lover of strife— one who pretends to despise men who do not 'love to fight.' with whom virility lies only in the de sire to kill something, inspiring in the minds of our youth a most, de structive and demoralizing dis position. "Roosevelt, the pretender— claiming honors he never won, depriving worthy and heroic men of just fame and credit they had earned by noble deeds and great sacrifice. "Roosevelt, the adventurer— delighting in hot-headed, reckless, insane acts; hence most unsafe as the official head of a great nation. "Roosevelt, the reckless whose violations and disregard of cus toms, statutes and international law were conspicuous and no torious.

"Roosevelt, the nn^vlm treatment of many pennons in our own country and millions of pen pic ill tile I'llilippilli'S WBH Hi-! unjust and heartless. " Roosevelt, t In' usurper who interferes in domestic as well as foreign affairs, who not only dis regards the law, lint in the absence ol' law assumed unwonted auth ir iiy that involved the es penditure of many millions of dollars. "Roosevelt, the demagogue who is creating dissension and dis affection among the laboring classes, and yet who is the daily companion, supported by and in triguing with men of colossii wealth, whose fort lines have been drawn from the people through trusts and monopolies. "There is no character more despicable than a hypocrite. Ye\ here is a man railing againfrl the trusts, who when in office prosecut ed only a few thai he thoughi un friendly to him and protected the great majority of trusts of our country, and personally actually helped to create and establish th- most colossal trust now in exist ence. "He is constantly denouncing partisan bosses, yet he is more in dflbted to thorn for his success than any other man of our country. I !<• has been for years recognised as one himself, and while in public office he was the boon companion of the wnrst political scoundrels that this country has ever produc ed. "He traveled all over this country denouncing corporations when be was daily using without payment private ears and trains of corporations.
