17, t900. SflliiS velt said that the experience and ings he had had west had been sponsible for his raising of a regiment for Cuban service. "So you see," tinued the governor, "you are responsible, possibly, for the fact that I am a candidate for vice of the United States." Governor Roosevelt speaks without pretense of oratorical flourishes or rounded periods. "I am not orator," he said, "and I want to speak to you as neighbor to neighbor." He drives home facts simply and directly, as he might' set nails in a board aind drive them home one after the other. standing the strain upon his voice by the making of six or eight speeches a day, his enunciation was clear and his manner or making of an argument vtHe said: "In speaking as I must to so many different audiences it is not possible to dwell upon all the points that I should like to make.

There area 'great many issues that I should like to discuss in this campaign, but there are only two issues thait I shall dwell upon tonight. Both of these issues are raised by our opponents. The platform enunciating the policies for which we stand is bo simple that it needs no defense. "We fortunately do not have to ask that you take our word unbacked by deeds for anything. We do not need to have to ask you to take anything on faith.

We simply say: Look at the four years that have gone by. Look at our old party's history and see what we have done toward bettering the ditions at home and toward preserving civtic good faith, and toward upholding the honor of the flag abroad, as you men who are now the older among us did in your youth. They upheld the honor of the flag and the renown of the nation in times of great peril. What we have done is to be taken as an est of what we intend to do. We ask you to judge what is the party of the future by what we have done in the immediate past." "Two years ago I ran for governor in New York.

Against me they had put up Judge Van Wyck, who was a special protege of Bryan and a bosom friend of Mr. Croker. Now, Mr. Croker and Mr. Van Wyck were severe up6n They said they were down on corporations that they were against them.

I said I was no more against corporations than I was? against red-headed men. I am going" to do justice to red-headed men. If he1 is a bad man I will cinch him. if he is a good man I will stand by him. If a corporation does its duty and acts squarely it is all right, and I will stand it.

If it don't do sp I will make it do its duty if I have the power. Now, yoir-see, I have the advantage of ing' thejway I did because could keep my promises. I made the kind of promises that oould be kept On the other hand, if you -simply go into a general denunciation with a whoop and a hurrah and promise the millenium you will be hampered by the fact that you can't keep your word. "I got elected. I came to dealing with these different aggregations of property.

I made up my mind that some of these corporations were ing their just share of taxation. They were putting the burden off upon the private individual and getting rid of it We got a law enacted. There are defects In it of course, but the result so far has been that we have put on the assessment roll for tion something like $200,000,000 of porate, property that ihad previously taxation. That was thing tangible. You never can plish everything'onfce.

a long stride in the right longer stride than had been taken by the democratic party in all the years put together that they have had trol of the municipal government of New York' city." Continuing- Governor Roosevelt raigned the leaders of the democratic party for striving to stir up class against class, section against section. It was necessary, he said, for the whole people to progress. There must be no classes, no sections. Eight years ago the democratic party leaders had urged people to vote against some men and some, corporations because they were getttag'too be fulled dontfn. They were pulled down, but the peaple went doWtt too.

He cautioned the making of promises by campaign oratorsr which could not be kept. "A ton of and promises onthe stump is not -worth a pound of fulfillment off the stump," he said. Whether the republican party would keep its proraflses waste be judged from its record. He ths maUer jof miiitarisxa, mmm which he denounced as a scarecrow. He said there were eighty-six dredths of a soldier in the United States to every thousand of the lation.

Making the application clearer, he said that in the probable twelve hundred people of the audience there would be Just one soldier if the tion were carried out. He did not see any great cause for alarm in that. Major White, the republican candidate for lieutenant governor, was one of the North Dakota soldiers, was on the. stage. Governor Roosevelt said he would represent the proportion of the soldiery to the audience.

He saw no signs of alarm on the part of the ence because this ogre of militarism was'present (laughter). Jefferson who lie said knew something about the declaration of independence which the democrats are quoting for 'the first time (laughter) had increased the army when he was president and the tion of soldiery was greater then than now. He was an expansionist, too, and so was Monroe and so was son, and Jackson had some reputation -as a democrat, too. The kind of ernment we wanted, said the speaker, was the kind that would best enable every man to develop and bring out the stuff that was in him. No' lation he said would overcome the laws of or the natural talents or pacities of people.

No legislation would make all men prosperous. Alluding briefly to the reviling of President McKinley for his tion of the government of 'the, pines, Governor Roosevelt drew tion to some G. A. R. men in the ence, and said that they remembered when four years of war was fought der Abraham Lincoln, whom the ocrats quote now, and whom the flrein-the-rear democrats reviled worse than McKinley was attacked now.

"The men who are leading the assault upon the administration," said nor Roosevelt "are the political heirs of the men who attacked President Lincoln then." And now these same people and their descendants are ing and quoting Lincoln, where then they the war was a failure, that Lincflii was seizea with ambition to be a king, and where they had attacked him in language so cruel that he would not quote it said the riailbjfi on the ffcrestioid of a centfa'y big with Let not the first step in that c6fftury be a backward one, hrtfte hauling down of the American flag. We mast be a nation of strong' men, ready to do our work in the onward march of the world, not cravens or weaklings, ing to escape our duty. Where the flag has been raised with honor, it must not be pulled down with dis honor. Governor Roosevelt's address was clean, logical and effective, devoid of any appeal to prejudice or passion. He was loudly and continuously applauded at its close.

Senator Hansbrough introduced then Curtis Guild, of Boston, who is a finished and eloquent speaker. Mr Guild paid a tribute to the character of Governor. Roosevelt whom he has known since college days, and whose upright honesty, determination and courage had brought him to the first place in American politics. Mr. Guild's address was devoted largely to ing the evils of attempts at class dice and of the union of the north and south he told in a sketch from the late war where soldiers from the north and soldiers from the south" jdtoea in ern and northern songs, and mingled as flag.

He culed the comparisons of the crats in setting Aguinaldo beside George Washington as a patriot Quoting from authorities on the ippine islands, he showed. how aldo had sold oiit liis revolution to the Spanish- authorities for money. "He was worse than Benedict Arnold," said Mr. Arnold staid bought" Aguinaldo had changed sides four times within a year in his ings with his people and. the ish Former Senator Wilson from ington was the last speaker.

Laughingly -he told of the second ing of Grorer Cleveland and the sequent disaster, and the changed whan a republican tion came into power. Mr.

Wilson is, one of the most effective campaign1 speakers in the party and he has done! good work along the line. THE SUNDAY TRIP. NO SPEECHMAKING ON SUNDAYGOVERNOR ROOSEVELT GREETS LARGE CROWDS OF PEOPLE AT THE STATIONS IN THE ERN PART OF THE STATE. If anything were needed to prove ithe' personal popularity of Governor velt. in the western part of this state, was furnished on the western trip of the governor's special train Sunday.

There was no speechmaking during the day. Governor Roosevelt said that he would not make any addressee on Sunday but that he would step from the train at each station and shake hands with as many of the people as he could during the time the train stopped. The special left the city at 6 o'clock sharp, and the first stop of consequence was made at New Salem, where notwithstanding the early hour, everyone in the place seemed to be at the depot. Governor Roosevelt stepped from the rear platform of the trainband shook hands with the residents of the place, accompanying his handshakings with cordial words of greeting. At Hebron a stop of ten minutes was made.

Among the crowd on the form there was Indian Agent Richards and several of his wards from Elbowoods. Governor Roosevelt shook hands with them, and the manager of the train presented the Indians with republican campaign buttons of which they were highly proud. There was the same brief stop at each of the towns along the line, until Dickinson was reached. There it appeared as if everyone in the city were present The band was there and the members of the military company. Many Of the old western friends of Governor velt were in the crowd, and right pleased were they to see that the gov ernor had forgotten none of them.

Many he called by name, and referred to some past incident, proving his wonderful memory for names and cidents. Captain Aiild was there and Governor Roosevelt accompanied him to where the members of the military company were waiting, and he shook hands with each one, and lated them upon their good work in the'Philippines. The crowd thickened about the governor and at times it was almost impossible for him to find a way through. From one knot of ple the governor moved to another, un til Mr. John Proctor Clark of New York, who was endeavoring to escort the governor back to his car after about 45 minutes of continuous shaking, gave up the job in despair and waited until the pressing crowd had been satisfied.

The special mained at Dickinson about an -hour and then moved westward. A stop of 13 minutes was made at Medora where the governor greeted a number of his old friends from the Bad Lands. The train was accompanied to Dick inson by a number of residents of the city, who returned on the afternoon train. NEW CASES.
