quite an extended conversation and the
women of the respective parties exchanged
courtesies and bouquets.
The Roosevelt special arrived here at
IL o'clock, three hours behind time, and the
Governor was driven Immediately to the
platform erected in front of the courthouse
from which he spoke. Apparently the en-
tire city had turned out to see and cheer
the candidates. The Governors speech
was brief. owing to the lateness of the
hour and was in part as follows:
Il see before me men who served in the
navy and in the regular army near me or
under my personal command on the battle
field at Santiago. Here are brothers and
been told to be afraid of. These brothers
and sons who fought to uphold the honor
Of the flag are coheirs in all the honor that
the flag can shelter. They are coheirs. too.
the heirs of the men who fought under
Grant and upheld the arms of Lincoln. We
men did. Are you going to leave to your
children In their turn similar heritage of
honor? We must do our share of the world
work of the great world powers. Zap
plause.] II We finch from the task, we
shall show that our loyalty to the mighty
men who were equal to the mighty task
Is loyalty of the lips and not loyalty
OF heart and deed. lApplause.1
"Remeber the conditions of the Coxeys
and the free souphouses of six years ago.
Think how every prophecy made by our
by the events. Then look around at your
own prosperity. Remember how the glass
blowers in this very town have had a raise
OF 10 per cent. in their wages and that
there Is twice as much employment as
there was four years ago. And with all
this in mind you cannot but realize that il
Is for your material interest to keep un-
changed the policies of President McKin-
ley and that Ii would be folly unworthy a
serious people to trust yourselves to the
exploded fallacies of our antagonist.
I'VE have right appeal IN x-o,, ~,
more than one ground 1t often happens
that different issues will be i'm seeming
conflict with one another, but i'm this con-
test We have the right to challenge your
support of every issue raised in the cam
paign. If man has to choose bet ween
wealth and honor, of course. he should
choose honor; but as a nation we should
stand both for material prosperity and for
honor and renown abroad. We have the
right to appeal to you from the stand
point of your material well being and asl,
you to leave we'll enough alone: to ask
you to remember the prophecies of Mr..
Bryan four years ago and compare them
with the actual facts. and then make up
your mind If you can afford to trust any
further the prophecies of the Organized
Democracy of the present day. In the old
days false prophets had hard time; at
dency by the Democracy.
Now. don't go back into the slough of
despond in which our people were
six years ago-five and six years
of the free soup kitchen and the
Coxey armies. We appeal to you to stand
With US. because we uphold the principles
o. orderly liberty for which our fathers
fought, for which the statesmen who
founded this government stood: because
we stand for orderly liberty under the
law at home and abroad. We stand for
the privilege of seeing a great nation DO
u great nations work. We appeal to the
young men, now in early manhood not to
dishonor the deeds done by the men who
IN their youth and early manhood fought
To finish the great civil war.
From the way in which Illinois has
turned out to-day i cannot but feel that
next November she will be true to her
joyous traditions as in the past. We have
the right. coming here to this State. to ask
not that You fall in with the rest of the
nations, but that you lead them-the State
of Lincoln and Grant must pay to their
memory more than lip loyalty"
At the conclusion of his speech Governor
Roosevelt was escorted across the high
bridge to ST. Louis. He went Immediately
to the Planters Hotel. i'm company with
Grand Marshal J.. p. Philipot, formerly of
Kentucy. who was a member of Roose-
