There were one thousand persons asseiloieu at
Deposit to hear the Governors speech. He once
more oontrasted the business prosperity of the
| present time with the poverty of 1893 and otner
years succeeding President Cleveland's election
in 1892.
A LITTLE BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Just after leaving Deposit. when the tram
was in the State of Pennsylvania, those on the
train, including Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Youngs, assembled in the dining room car ana
ex-senator John Laughlin. addressing Governor
Roosevelt said to him that since he was out of
the State Of New York, and therefore without
any Jurisdiction, some of those present had de-
cided to infiict speech on him. He had spoken
all over the United States bringing honor to the
State and to the Republican party. Now it was
high time he should hear else SPEAK.
All remembered that it was the Governors
birthday, and reioiced over his good fort
uhe which they hoped would continue. Mr..
Laughlin. in behalf Of James r. Sheffield, James
S. Whipple, Walter Emerson and himself, the
'spellbinders" who have accompanied the Gov
ernor upon this trip. then presented the Gov
ernor with beautiful pair of gold cuff buttons
and gold scarf2in. The Governor thanked
Senator Laughlin warmly for his gift and that
OF his associates. A big reception was given to
the Governor at Susquehanna. Penn, where
three thousand railroad men had assembled to
hear him. 1t was a cordial welcome. and IL
seemed that it was intended to be especially
hearty, in view of Governor Roosevelt's place
as the Executive of neighboring State At
Long Eddy the Governor said. addressing vet
eran of the Civil War:
You remember they told you in 1861 that
you could not coerce sovereign State, but you
did They told you that you could not establish
the rule of the American Republic in the South
ern States without the consent of the governed
but you did; and the Southern States are
glad of it. and it will be in the Philippines.
Mr.. Bryan's expectation of getting the electoral
vote of North Carolina is absolutely dependent
upon a violation Of the doctrine of the consent
of the governed in that State"
A large committee of prominent Republicans
of Bnghamton, headed by George w. Dunn, met
the train at Deposit and escorted the Governor
to BinShamton. Ex-A1ayor George E. Green Of
Binghamton boarded the train at Susouenanna
and also welcomed the Governor. Four meet
ings were held by the Republicans of Bingham
ton. In his speech tonight the Governor said.
1t is plain to every one now that the para
mount issue in this campaign is Organism, and
Organism means in the sphere of civic honesty
~ ETokeTlsn; IN finance Pettigrewism; as regards
ilDerty and order, Altgeldism; regards an
honest ballot, Goebelism, and as regards our
foreign policy. Aguinaldosm.
NEw-MEXICO AND PORTO RICO.
The other day at Yonlers Mr.. Bryan said that
1T was better for Mexico that we didn't keep
never wished to keep possession of Mexico, but
let Mr. Bryan compare the progress that has
been made in New Mexico. which we did take,
with now II went on before We took it, and he
will speedily make up his mind that it has great
~ prohted by being put under our flag In
cidentally, if Mr.. Bryan will look up the history
Of the Territory of New-Mexico he will
see that he need not be concerned
about Porto Rico We governed New
Mexico at first exactly we are governt!1g
Porto Rico: that is. by giving a large measure
Of self-government to its people, just as we have
given such measure to Porto Rico. For fifty
years New Mexico has been kept as a Terri
tory, yet Mr. Bryan doesn't talk about the con-
sent Of the governed in New Mexico. AS a
matter Of fact, believe that New Mexico should
now be made a State, but 1t would have been
folly to have admitted her to sisterhood for the
forty odd years after we took possession In
the same way it would be folly now to admin
lister the government of Porto Rico save as We
actually administering it,
One Bryanite advocate the other day quoted
the elder Adams a signer of the Declaration of
Independence and the first President after
Washington, as anti-expansionist but in
reality Mr.. Adams. in letter to Senator Quincy
Of February II. 1911, explicitly states that the
Constitutional Convention foresaw and meant to
provide for the possibility of Ito use his own
words) "conquering by kindness or force alien
territory" Jefferson showed by his actions that
he, the Trainer of the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence, did not believe that ii forbade acqur-
| ing the territory Of Louisiana without the con-
sent of the governed, exactly as under President
Mckinley we have acquired the Philippines.
The above quotation shows that Jefferson and
| Adams occupied the position. In fact
doubt if there was a single statesman worthy Of
the name among all those who founded this Gov
eminent who ever adopted in serious earnestness
| the extreme position now taken by Mr.. Bryan.
Governor Roosevelt will remain here in Bing-
| hamton until Monday He delivered three ad-
| dresses here tonight at meetings which
| held in Odd Fellows Hail. at the Lyceum Thea
tire and at the Stone Opera House. Five thou
sand persons heard these various addresses
