Ing one of the largest crowds that has
ever assembled In this city to listen to n
candidate for public office, Governor
Theodore Roosevelt. tonight. closed his
campaign In Kentucky and tomorrow,
will proceed on his. tour OF Ohio. Long
before the governors arrival here,
Court. House Square. in. which the
speakers stand had been erected and
decorated, was congested with men. and
women anxious, to hear him. The vice
presidential train reached Covlngton at
$50 p. m. and until 5 o'clock, the hour
for speaking, the governor was the
guest at dinner OF Richard P. Ernest, at
the latter's home. The governor was
given, the most respectful attention dur
ing his speech and he was interrupted
frequently. with applause or by persons
who. made friendly comments upon the
various salient points Of his address.
/ His Tenth Speech.
1t was the tenth speech Governor
Roosevelt. had made since morning. the
first being at Lexington. where Colonel
w. C. p. Breckenridge, and Judge Dur
ham,. both ex-Confederate. officers. put
the crowd in the best Of humor in joint
ly, introducing, the governor. Then at
Manchester and next at Nc. Sterling,
other. large crowds, greeted the, arrival
OF the train providing parades. More
head, Ashland. Greenup. South Ports
mouth. Vanceburg and Maysyillc. in
successive order, paid tribute to the
governors popularlty.in Kentucky. and
the crowd which gathered at the depot
here, betrayed no dlminution Of desire
to see him.
Early in the day. Leslie Combs, chair
man Of the Republican state commit
tee. had. received dispatches from Cov-
ington informing him that leaders here
We're upprehensive that an organized
effort would be made to break up to-
nights meeting.
He Smiled Blandly. Is
Mr.. Combs hurnedly transmitted his
Information to the governor. whereat
the latter smiled broadly and assured
the chairman there could be no possible
danger OF serious interruption Of his
tour In Kentucky. To Insure absolute
tranquility and to provide against any
display of hostility Chief OF. Police Pugh
and the sheriff Of this county doubled
their forces. All such precautions,
however. proved to be unnecessary.
The governors speech was brief and
at Its conclusion the audience was ad-
dressed by Colonel Curtis Guild. jr.. OF
Boston, who made an appeal for the ex-
ercise OF the rights Of civil liberty and
the preservation OF the sanctity OF the
ballot box.
After tho speaking Governor Roose-
ve!t was escorted by the First Voters
Club. OF Cincinnati. to the Grand Hotel
in, that, city. where an Informal recep-
ton was held and where he will remain
until tomorrow morning. when he will
enter upon his itinerary In Ohio.
What He Said Last Night.
In his speech tonight, Governor
Roosevelt said:
II address you. not as Republicans
only, for T appeal to every Democrat
who Is a true American. I appeal to
every Democrat who values the princl-
| Piles OF Jefferson and of Andrew Jack
son, Just as l appeal to every Republi-
can who Is loyal to the principles OF
LINCOLN. to stand with US In contest
which is for the fundamental rights OF
American citizenship and for the inter-
ests and greatness OF the country.
"Iwtsh to appeal to you men Of Ken
tuclsy in the name Of civil liberty. I re-
gard the currency as an important IS
sue; regard our prosperity as an i'm
portant Issue; but more Important than
anything else is the right of every man
to cast his vote as he chooses and to
have 1t counted as cast. Wo can afford
to differ on questions OF policy, but we
cannot afford to differ on the funda-
mental rights OF American citizenship
In the state Of Kentucky every man Is
in honor bound to stand up and SEQ thu,
there is no condoning OF the offenscs Of
those who violate the will OF the people,
Explaining Their Actions.
I'VE have reached u stage In the
campaign when our opponents ara on.
gagged in busily explaining either their
actions or their words. Mr.. Jones, the
chairman OF the Bryanite Democracy
has Just boen explaining that he is no,
connected with trusts, because the cot.
ton bale trust is not a trust. or course
using tho word In Its technical sense
there Is no trust In the country. Tht
sugar trust and the Standard OIL trus,
are not technically trusts at ul, bu,
simply great corporations. So the cot.
ton bale trust Is In the same sense of thr
word not q trust but a Corporation
But. of course, also. this IL all merr
quihbi!ng, Using the word in the popu.
lar sense as we generally do use II. all
these corporations are trusta II is
sheer hypoerisy to speak OF tho stec,
trust, the sugar trust and the Standard
on trust and then TO deny that tho cut.
ton bale trusts. the Ice trust anu The
whisky trust combine In the ssme cato.
