p
Kingston, n. Y Oct 22-Ciovernor Roosevelt
started this morning from his home at Oyster
Bay. TO begin political tour in MS own State.
The meetings which he adressed at NewburE
and Kingston. in the Hudson Riv . Valley were
truly mass meetings. and they were attended
by thousands of Republicans and Democrats
who intend TO vote for the candidates Of the
Republican party this year
There could have been no greater coatrasr
between the strength of the Republican party
and that of the Democra.ic party in this state
than that shown by to-day's political meeting
at Newburg. contrasted with that which
William ]. Bryan addressed on Wednesday last.
Mr.. Bryan drew to hear him several thousand
people from Newburg itself. Governor Roose-
welt and Benjamin B. OdeIl. jr.. looked upon a
gathering Of $4,000 persons. drawn from the
surrounding country for distance Of seventy
five miles Il large proportion of the population
of Orange County and hundreds Of people from
the counties OF Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster
had come to Newburg to attend the meeting
Further contrast was shown by the attendance
of campaign clubs Only two or three little
uniformed clubs attended Mr.. Bryan's Newburg
meeting. There were dozen big ones at the
meeting addressed by Governor Roosevelt and
Mr. Oden
1t may be said that with no Federal OF Stats
patronage at their command as basis for thu
financial support of clubs and the bringing OF
multitudes by train TO meeting, the Democrats
of Orange County could not hope to excel the
Republicans at Newburg. but no machinery OF
a party could induce the thousands Of voters to
abandon their work for the day as was the case
to-day. and attend a political meeting. and
therefore the Newburg meeting was significant
OF intense political feeling, and indicates un-
doubtedly an enormous Republican vote in the
counties of the Hudson River Valley. Mr.. Odeu
as the Republican candidate for Governor. and
as the chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, had good reason for looking upon the
meeting with the greatest satisfaction. Taking
place. as il did. at his own home, he had an ad-
ditionaI reason for personal qualification
Governor Roosevelt and Mr.. Oden made
speeches both at Newburg and at Kingston
Both hammered away at Richard Croker and
disclosed clearly the fact that Croker desires 70
become the ruler of the State as we'll as Of New
York City. II can reasonably be thought that
Governor Roosevelt and Mr.. Oden both intend
to make the Croker designs the main theme
of their talk in the interior of the State.
At Kingston man in of the audiences
shouted:
Three cheers for Bryan
The Governor smiled and said, "Why?' and
the man subsided-
