His at-J""""1 iW1 pition has won for him the undying honor of the nation and its people. Serving his. country in the field as a soldier, or in the position of the highest honor that can be given to an American citizen, Theodore Roose velt was always alert to see that the best interests of the nation were served. With the dawn of the great war. Colonel Roosevelt made his position known to all and remained unfalter ingly in the front ranks of the de fenders of his country. Unable to be of personal service in the active part of the warfare, he gave to his country four sons, one of whom died across the sea while two of them were wounded in fighting for the cause. The proposed memorial is to stand as the public expression of the love of a grateful people to their fallen leader and for this purpose the funds are asked from the great mass of the American citizenship with which Colonel Roosevelt loved best to stand. For the campaign in Cass county. Clerk of the District Court James M. Robertson has been selected as the official bead and he in turn has des ignated the representatives in the different precincts to carry forward the work of giving the people an opportunity of contributing to the cause.
