FEW WORDS TO SOLDIERS
Colonel Roosevelt followed Mr.. McDonough.
He said in part:
wish l had a chance TO speak to you more at
length than have but there are two points upon
which ] wish to speak. In the first place Mr.. Nc
Donough, who has Just spoken TO you has been
himself a wage-worker. He knows, because he
has been one Of them what great groups Of our
citizens whom speak of collectively as wage
workers. want and need. 1t seems 10 me well
worth their while to have In the councils OF the
State a man who tell US what their feelings
and instincts
have spoken of the wage workers; let me speak.
for the moment. of other groups Of our citi-
zens Nothing has pleased me quite so much In
all the campaign as to have the veterans Of the
great war. the who fought from 1861 TO 1860
through the long years tina; tried men so, VINO
faced everything for those four years so that the
flag that had been rent In twain could once more
be made whole-to have these come forward and
fought In the lesser war but who hope they do not
show themselves entirely unworthy Of those who
went before them. In the next place, the thing
that I care most for is the support of those who
were my fellow volunteers In this war. it seems
to me that nothing stands well for the Repub-
lcan party the more than willingness with
which hundreds Of thousands of young men sprang
forward at the call to arms last spring. believe
that there were ten anxious to go for the one the
country had need Of to 20.
Just before the train pulled out an old soldier
on the platform jumped up and called out:
''Ihree cheers for our next United States Sena-
tor. Mr. Depew." They given with a will.
At Seneca Fails about fifteen hundred persons
we're waiting Mr.. Depew and Colonel Roose-
Welt both spoke briefly.
