.oWEGO. ". Y, Nov. 2-Theodore Roose-
welt, Republican candidate for Vice Pres
ident, tonight completed at this point one
OF the most remarkable campaigns ever
made by candidate Of any party IN the
United States. In eight weeks he has WIS.,
tied twenty-four States Of the Union, made
G7s speeches, travelled 21,2O9 miles, visited
567 towns and cities, and talked 10 what is
estimated to be 100000 people. This record
includes more speeches, more miles trav-
eled and more territory covered than that
of all the other candidates fer President
or Vice President OF the United States OF
all other parties for the lass one hundred
years, with the exception OF the record
made by William ]. Bryan in 1886, and it
exceeds Mr.. Bryan's record, which was 500
speeches made and 1900 miles covered.
This campaign was finished by a two
weeks tour OF the State of New York.
during which the candidate travelled 2.O5s
miles through 81 counties and made 10
speeches, the majority Of them from the
rear platform of the train.
Mr.. Roosevelt finished his tour in ex-
cellent health and coed spirits, and. cs he
said tonight, with a slightly weakened
voice, but able to go on with the cam
pd1Sn a COuple Oh Weeks inOIc-
The last day of this campaign included
eight stops between Jamestown. in Chau-
tauqua county and inclusive of Owego, In
Tioga county. The stops to-day varied
from two hours in duration at Clean to
ten minutes at other points. He finished
tonight at Owego, the home of United
States Senator Thomas c. Plat. Among
the things which Governor Roosevelt said
in Owego, Hornellsville, Wellsville and Ad-
olson, the last four places on the days
tour. were these:
Mr.. Bryan is now inclined to laugh at
the argument of the full dinner pail. No.
body laughed about 1t four years ago. 1t
Is a mighty sight easier to laugh about it
when 1t Is full than when il is empty
When 1t is empty it is serious business.
If this Nation choose to turn bedlamite
and put in Mr.. Bryan and try his policies,
We have nobody but ourselves to thank
for the disaster that will surely follow.
DIDN'T SHEER IN 1896
-Four years ago neither Mr.. Bryan nor
anyone else would have dared to sheer
at the full dinner pail and say it did not
mean much. because then the dinner pail
was not full, and it means great deal to
everyone Of us when the dinner pail is
empty.
Mr.. Bryan says We have no right in
the Philippines without the consent of the
governed Jefferson Davis said it was a
violation of the Declaration of Independ-
ence 10 como down and oppose them with
out the consent Of the governed from try
ing TO get out Of the Union and own slaves.
lie said you could not oppose them, but
some of you here did it.
Now. Mr.. Bryan upholds the Declara-
ton of Independence applying to the
Malay banditti who are shooting at our
men on the other side OF the earth, but
denies 1t to his fellow-Americans of duskier
skin I'm North Carolina. There are two
important issues in this campaign. Our
opponents want to Bryanize the Nation and
Crokerize the State.
They can't do IT." came an Interrupt
ton
NO" continued the Governor. they
can't do IL, because our people are not pre-
pared to see the level of the State gov
eminent brought down to the level of the
Tammany rule of New York city. 1 ap-
peal 10 every Democrat who believes in
honesty and decency in politics to stand
with Us and avert such a calamity"
AS If in appreciation of the closing OF the
campaign the Governor said: There really
IL not very much to say now in the closing
days OF the campaign. People have pretty
much made up their minds. and think we
are going TO give in this State the second
largest majority IT has ever given"
That's right! That's right!' shouted
number I'm the audience
But" continued the Governor, 81 don't
want any man TO make the mistake of TAX
ing anything for granted. We want not
merely to whip Organism. but to crush IL
under our heels. / ask you to stand by the
party that succeeds and not the party that
fails. for the party that makes financial
policies that work. and not the party that
advocates financial policies that won't
work; for the party that fought 10 a finish
the Spanish war and hoisted the flag In the
Philippines and not the party that grum-
bled about how the war was fought and
now wants 10 haul down the flag I'm the
Philippines
Just as the train was pulling out of Wav-
srly occurred the only incident OF the day.
