WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN SILENT

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the clerk from the navy department, who was nominated for vice-president on the Democratic ticket because his name is Roosevelt, in speaking of the interview between President Wilson and Governor Cox, at which he was present, says: “I wish that every American could have been a silent witness to the meeting between these two great men. We are sure that every one present would have had to be SILENT as was the vice-presidential candidate and probably the presidential candidate in the presence of President Wilson and that any one would not dare of to have had a _ thought, much less to express it in his mighty presence.
