The first tidings of the attempted murder of Col. Koosevelt was conveyed to President Tsft by a Times reporter. "If in attempt has been made upon the life of Mr.

Free speech ht the birthright of every American, ol. llooeeveit nas exactly tne tame right to express his political opinions that I have. I may disagree with him and he may disagree with me, but no newspaper has the right to attack either of us for honest convictions. I have known what it means to face an assassin's pistol.

For the sake of my family. I am glad that I escaped after a lingering and dangerous illness. I um very glad that CoL Roosevelt has survived this attack upon him. It would be a disgrace to our country and to our institutions if the revolver pf the anarchist should supplant the ballot of the cltlxen. You tell me, young man, that these first reports have It that tbe assassin was a Socialist.

I do not think that he was. If he wss a Hocialist, he was only one In name. The average person does not understand the meaning of Socialism. It Stands for the brotherhood of man. It is a beautiful doctrine, but 1 fear that It is unpractical.

I -do not oe-lieve That any Socialist will approve or condone aa attempt at murder. For myself. I can only echo the sentiment of President Taft and heartily congratulate the American people that Col. Koosevelt has been spared Lrfiter, Mayor Gaynor said aa he left the hotel: "There are too many, assassins In this country. They have assassinated more people In this country in fifty years than theyhad In 500 years In England." Rear Admiral Osterhaus was clearly startled at the tidings.

I am sure that there has 'been some mistake," he declared. Are you positive that this news Is authentic? It Is incredible frightful." When assured, that there was no possibility of mistake, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet waxed wroth.

We do not wonder at anarchy and assassinationthe bomb and the revolver when we find them used against hereditary tyrants, but it Is incredible to think that in a government of and by the people recourse should be taken to such measures.

At one time I promoted five men for gallantry on the field of battle. Afterward it happened to be found In making some inquiries about them that I found two of them were Protestants, two Catholics, and one a Jew.

One Protestant came from Germany and one was born In Ireland. I did not promote them because of their religion. It Just happened that way. If all of them had been Jews. I wrould have promoted them, or if all had been Protestants I would have -promoted them, or if they had been Catholics.

I ask in our civic 4ife that we in 'the same way pay heed only to the man's quality of citizenship to repudiate as the worst enemy that we can haye whoever tries to get us to discriminate for or against any man because of bis creed or his birthplace. Now, friends, in the same way I want our people to stand by one another without regard to differences or class or occupation.

I have always stood by the labor unions. I am going to make one omission to-night. I have prepared my speech because Mr. Wilson had seen fit to attack me, by showing up his record in' comparison with mine. But I.

am not going to do that to-night. I am going to simply speak of hat I myself have done and of what I think out to be done in this country of ours. (Applause.) It is essential that there should be the outsider and the capitalist I make my appeal to treat the laborers fairly, to recognize the fact that he roust organize: that there must be such organization; that the laboring man must organize for his own protection, and that it is th duty of the rest of us to help htm, and not hinder in organizing. Tnat is one half of. the appeal that I make.

Now the other half to the labor man himself. My appeal to him Is to remember that aa no wanta justice, so he must do Justice. I want every labor man. every labor leader, every organized union man to take the lead In denouncing crime or violence. I warn: them to take the lead in denouncing disorder and Inciting riot, that in this country we shall proceed under the protection of our laws, and with all respect to the law, and I want the labor men to feel In their turn at exactly as Justice must be done bhem, so they must do Justice.
