it is wise to change good, dependable farm hands during harvest. “Surely, it is far wiser to retain President Roosevelt, who stands almost alone in the world as a symbol of Democracy, than to replace him with a man wholly inexperienced in government, and whose entire viewpoint is colored with the interests of one class.”
