Light On The Roosevelt Movement Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Light on the Roosevelt Movement This book is a deliberate attack upon the utterly false, viciously unjust and deadly dangerous systems represented by ex-judge and twenty-seventh President, William Howard Taft; ex-President and emperor at large Theodore RooseveI am not trying to start a revolution but hoping and praying to be able to do my part toward forestalling one which is surely coming if things go on as they have been running, and conditions are not rapidly changed in favor of the toilers who produce the wealth of the Nation. It has long been patent to me that not more than one-tenth of our people are hopeful, happy or prosperous. This life story is drawn from the heartaches and headaches of thirty-three years experience in the battle for bread; composed under a driving impulse; compiled without loss of any time from employment and practically without the aid of books. I possess no books to speak of and had no time to visit libraries. The writer has only a very common school education and has done little reading since he enlisted for life in the Grand Army of Workers. Therefore any statement herein which does not square with facts is an error of memory or judgment and not made with intention to mislead. Pamphlet published on individual responsibility and at personal expense without asking financial aid, literary assistance or helpful advice of anybody on earth. I feel that I have a backer in this undertaking who does not strike a partnership with selfish money grubbers, and to that belief I shall cling. Something seems to tell me that any man who really desires to help the plain people must not only come from their ranks but must remain with them. Whenever he associates with the idle rich, professional politicians and lets them pay his expenses he immediately becomes one of them in spirit, and loses all power to faithfully and effectively serve common folks. I am asking my personal friends to take up the first small edition on condition that if the story is not worth the price they return it and receive back their dimes. That's what I call the square deal. Furthermore, I request true friends who are quick and not dead to study my dreams and see if they can trace any direct connection between these celestial visions and the practical solution of our vexing temporal problems. I want such friends to help me decide if I am what president Taft calls a neurotic, incapable of self-government, or whether I am being called to undertake a high mission for mankind, "In the Union of all who Love, For the Service of all who suffer."
