Of Speeches Today.

Yesterdays Meetings.
THERE WE'RE FEWER TODAY

KINGSTON, N. Y. October 23.-Despite
the serious strain of the numerous speeches
made yesterday, Gov. Roosevelt found his
throat in excellent condition this morning
when he arose. He had declined the nu-
merous invitations to rest at private houses
and slept on the special train at the
noisiest place. as he described 1t, since he
began his trip. 1t was at the junction of
the West Shore and Ulster and Delaware
railroads, and moving engines and trains
were frequent. The governor rose early
and breakfasted before the start for the
mountains. which was scheduled for
o'clock. He was inclined to laugh over the
numerous Interruptions at outdoor points
yesterday.
Relating to the one made in front of the
7. NJ c. A. rooms last evening in this city,
he was told by Capt. Joseph Dickey that
the element that created the disturbance
He laughed and said: WELL If they insist
on answers and won't let the meetings go
on in an orderly manner, I'll drive them
away by talk that they can understand
He was assured that the country through
which he was going today would not pro-
duce the same kind of disorder. 1t was y
o'clock when the train pulled out of the
station and started up the Catskill noun
ta:ns
The trip for the day covers 276 miles, and
requires running on three different rail-
roads. Fifteen speeches will be made by
the candidate. The morning was beautiful
and the mountains looked their prettiest
in autumn attire. Captain Joseph Dickey
of Newburgh and George ]. Smith of King
ston went with the party from here.
A Stop at West Hurley.
WEST SHOkAN. N. Y, October 23-
West Hurley was the first stop of the day
and an enthusiastic though small crowd
greeted Mr.. Roosevelt. The governor said:
ut seems to me that in this campaign
the issue is whether not the people of
the United States have the good sense to
understand what not to do; in other words,
whether we do or do not understand any
existing evil would be aggravated by Bry-
anism and existing good wiped out by it.
There will always be difficulties to face:
always things to make better. but no man
qualified to exercise in the wtsest way the
duties of American citizenship will believe
that evil can best be wiped out by smash
predominates."
Talk at Shokan.
PHOENICIA, N. Y, October 23.-The
Roosevelt train made Its second stop at
Shokan and here, to about the entire popu-
lation Of the place, the governor said:
Il wish the hum Of industry over there
gave me a chance to speak referring to a
steam whistle which was footing loudly in
a manufacturing establishment near the
depot. I have but moment here, and
want to call your attention to one phase of
this contest.
"Mr. Bryan says he wants to benefit the
wage worker and give him better share
in the prosperity. So do l. Mr. Bryan's
remedy is to make the employer and the
wage worker earn nothing. and to reduce
them to common level of misery
The governor then referred the audience
term Of office, and said: Il will join most
heartily in any honest. intelligent effort
through legislation or through administra-
tion to make things better. You are not 60
ing to eradicate evils by killing the pa
tient."
Speech at Phoenicfa.
PINEHILL, N. Y, October 23.-At Phoe-
nicia there was a big crowd of men, women
and children. Gov. Roosevelt briefly re-
ferred to the fact that there were evils in
the country and things that ought to be
improved, but said he would not join with
Mr.. Bryan in trying to remedy them by de-
stroying everything in the country. The
story of how the Chinese discovered roast
pig was good, but said he did not believe,
as the Chinese did for while that the
way to roast a pig was to burn down
house.
The fourth stop of the Roosevelt train
was at Shandaken. Amid the cheers that
greeted the vice presidential candidate as
he stepped out on the platform. a voice
were not given; instead three for Roose-
welt were proposed and given. The COVER
nor, turning to the Bryanite, said: IT am
tempted to ask why you hurrah for
Bryan"
Because he has come here to aid Mr.
Croker; because he gave the poor people
Ice this summer in New York. came back
the reply.
"Mr Bryan gave the poor people?" ask
ed Gov. Roosevelt in a surprised tone.
do you mean that you believe thatP II
you do 1 don't wonder that you can hur-
rah for Bryan or anything else.
Now. gentlemen. I am going to speak
Of something suggestive of that gentle
man." resumed Mr.. Roosevelt.
Never mind him. was shouted.
II don't; like him; he amuses and in
terests me- The governor went on to
say that he appeals to the republicans
and democrats alike, and asked them to
distinguish between the names of things
and the things themselves, and stated
ton of oratory was not worth an ounce Of
performance"
