Dispatch The following extract,
taken from a speech recently delivered
by Hon. Theodore Roosevelt on the
Irish flag episode, in New York. will be
OF interest to the readers of the Dis
patch, the more especially as it has re-
ference to member Of the editorial
staff Of this paper: I heartily support
Mayor Hewitt in his attitude On the
flag question: no foreigner has any
right to become citizen and fail to
transfer all his allegiance heartily to
cur flag. But regret that the mayor
should have allowed himself to be led
into making an assault upon any one
class of our citizens. Let him attack
the bad individuals Of any nationality
whether born here, in Ireland or in
Germany, aud will back him to the
last; but there is no need Of Jumping
good and bad together. Two Of She
best representatives ever sent in my
time to the legislature were my two
colleagues III the assembly, NJ. ]. Cos
tello, Of New York-now a st. Paul
jcurnalist~-and Peter J. Kelly, of |
Brooklyn, both Americans of Irish |
birth and parentage, and both as up
right, honorable men as it has often |
been my good fortune to meet. They
Were poor men from machine-ridden
districts. AS a consequence and be-
cause of their faithful service to the
community, the rings beat them a; the
next election-nore shame to the peo-
pie.
