Ralph M. Easley is glad Theodore Roosevelt has not endorsed all of the radicals’ demands for governing under the “Oregon system.” He recalls Roosevelt saying that a public official should be courageous enough to stand for his beliefs even if they contradict popular opinion. Easley believes implementing the recall would make everyone “a coward.”
