increase of the number of people employed
in manufacturing establishments; the bet
terment of the conditions of labor gener-
ally: the effect of the maintenance of the
gold standard, and the upholding of the
flag at home and abroad. He paid some
attention to Bryans statement that he
would hurt the trusts by taking off the
tariff. and asked his auditors If they con-
sidered that. admitting goods manufactured
abroad by cheap labor would in any way
iEure to the betterment of those I'm this
country engaged in the production OF the
articles now made more valuable by a
protective tariff.
The train arrived at Ithaca little be-
hind time. and the greatest enthusiasm OF
the entire trip was manifested in the city
and at the train. This was partly due I'D
"A trolley car was in waiting for the party
at the depot, and as it passed down the
main streets toward the place of meeting,
it had to go through lines of students ex-
hibiting the widest enthusiasm. one
squad of students had dinner pals in their
hands and wore blue jumpers. A parade
was formed with three bands and great
crowd of students and citizens. The Gov
ernor dwelt on the features of the Nc
Kinley administration He said to one OF
the committe@ II shall answer all aues-
tionS in a good-natured manner.
In the crowd circulars had been dis
trfbuted asking hiro as to assertions he was
alleged to have made regarding farmers
and laborers and containing piece or
1t was about an hour after the Governor
arrived at the stand before he got we'll
into his speech, the boys insisting upon
singing college airs to campaign words ana
giving their yells.
Some of Governor Roosevelts remarks
were:
81 want to call your attention to one or
two phases of the campaign, but before
doing so 1 want to preface what say by
a correction of local Democratic paper.
That paper stated in big head lines that
said four years ago that would lead an
army to Washington to prevent the irau-
guration of Mr.. Bryan If elected. It seems
to me, speaking seriously little humii-
iating even to have to deny what is not
merely falsehood but a preposterouS
falsehood, and those who cried 1t either do
know or ought to know that there Is no
truth in 1t. Not merely that 1 never said
1t, but that 1 never dreamed of saying it.
I never said anything that by the most
violent efforts could have been twisted
into a statement of that character. New
I trust that paper will not think that is an
evasive answer. If L can make 1t more
positive / will"
In speaking of the probable enfranchise-
ment of negroes in Porto Rico and of olsen
reimbursement in North Carolina, he said:
Mr.. Houghton, your coach there, will re-
member, and perhaps some of you who
know the conditions Of the past will re-
member. how one of the best centers if
not the best the Harvard team ever had,
was colored man. Now. gentlemen, IT
would have been perfect folly to have
put him on the team on account OF his
color, and il would have been equally
foolish to have kept him off on account
of his color. Is not that so?
The Governors question was met with
a voHey of Eyes, yes, yes"
Now all I want" said the speaker, rs
that when man in civil life shows him
self to be as good man as this man
showed himself to be at football, you give
him the same kind Of a show"
In closing he said: IT want you to apply
this football motto to civil life. Don't
foul, don't shirk. but hit the line hard.
In other words act decently and honestly,
but don't commit any act Of trickery. Don't
do anything of any kind whatsoever for the
purpose of political gain that will smirch
the name of the American citizenship.
Don't foul On the other hand, don't shirk.
If there exists a class in the community
for which L have little use. it is the class
of the timid good. the good people who
are mighty good in their own parlors, but
don't come out to dc a mans work in the
world. You have got to have not merely
virtue, but you must have virile virtue.
you must be a man."
You're the Stuff said voice in the
audience.
