Victor Hugo said: “The acceptance of oppression by the oppressed ends in complicity; cowardice is consent whenever the duration of a bad thing,
which weighs upon a people and which that people could prevent if it would, goes beyond the bounds of an honest man s patience. There is an appreciable
solidarity and a partnership in shame between a government guilty of the evil and the people submitting to it. To suffer is noble, to submit is contemptible.
Hoke Smith as Running Mate to Roosebelt
Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 15. —John
Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Ga., ed
itor of The Atlanta Georgian, was
the first visitor to be received by
the president at Sagamore Hill dur
ing the latter’s summer vacation.
The Georgia orator arrived this
morning and was immediately driv
en out to Sagamore Hill.
“I came to talk with the president
Atlanta, Ga., Thursday June 20, 1907.
about a number of important mat
ters,” said Mr. Graves, ‘‘and when
I leave Sagamore Hill I may have
some interesting information. 1
came by special invitation, and until
1 talk with the president and learn
his views on the subjects to be taken
up I do not feel at liberty to dis
cuss them.”
Mr. Graves is quoted ns saying
that the president’s Jamestown
speech had made him strong r in the
South than he had been before and
reiterating his views on the poss -
bh* candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt.
Asked as to his views regarding
a vice president. Mr. Graves is quot
ed as replying:
“Hoke Smith is the most repre
sentative man of the South, as great
a man as Bryan, a man who is to
(he party subordinale what Roosevelt
is lo the party militant. I cannot imag"
ine a greater combination than tins*
two. Roosevelt's mother was a
Southern woman. Hoke Smith’s
mother was a northern woman.
Where could we find a more titling
expression of the era of good feel
ing than for both parties to nomi
nate these two statesmen for the two
highest olliees within the gift of thu
people?”
