BISMARCK. N. D.. Sept. 15.-The special
train with the Roosevelt party spent last
night at Fargo, and left there early to-
| day. Short stops were made to-day at
| Casselton, Wheatland. Buffalo and Tower
| City, but Governor Roosevelt did not have
| time for more than handshaking with
few people. The train stopped at Valley
| City an hour and Governor Roosevelt made
| a short speech. Accompanying the party
| to-day were United States Senators Hans
brough. from North Dakota; Thomas Car
| ter, of Montana, and Wilson, Of Washing
| ton.
The Roosevelt special train arrived at
Bismarck at o'clock this evening and re-
| mained here during the night. This is a
place familiar to Governor Roosevelt. and
he met many of his old cowboy friends at
the station and in the town. Among them
some who had been with him on his
ranches. A street demonstration had been
prepared in his honor, consisting of a pa
rade and fireworks I'm the evening, together
with a reception by the citizens. He spoke
in the evening at the Atheneum, which
called together an overfiowing crowd. Aft
er relating some "reminiscences of his cow
boy days here in this town, he spoke in
part as follows
'"rhe platform enunciating the policies
for which We stand is so simple that it
needs no defense. We fortunately do not
have to ask that you take our word, un-
backed by Deeds for anything. We do not
need to have to ask you to take anything
on faith. We simply say look at the four
years that have gone by Look at our old
party history and see what we have done
towards bettering the conditions at home
and towards preserving civic good faith
and toward upholding the honor OF the
flag abroad as you men who are now the
elders among us did in your youth. They
upheld the honor OF the flag and the re-
nown of the Nation in times of great peril
What we have done is TO be taken as an
earnest intent of what We intend to do
We ask you TO judge what is the party
of the future by what we have done In the
past We are little more fortunate than
our antagonists in that. When we want
to quote to you the wisdom of great men
that we wish you TO follow we quote our
own party leaders Our opponents have to
quote our party leaders too. The whole
purpose and spirit of the Republican party
is TO follow where Lincoln blazed the way.
BRYAN MISQUOTES.
"Mr Bryan, you may notice, does not
quote the speeches of any of Lincolns op-
ponents, but he has to quote the words of
Mr.. Lincoln. And he does not quote them
right Now, our opponents have sought to
They have stated them falsely in two or
three different illusions. In the first place
they have for the last six years striven to
raise feeling as of one set of Americans
against another set and try to excite class
against class, section against section and
community against community. What We
want to do is to bring out what Is best in
us and not what is the worst You see, the
country now is generally prosperous. and
the prosperity of the average man is as
great.
The speech concluded with a brief review
of New York politics and said that the
promises made by the Republicans had all
been kept His remarks on this point were
practically a repetition of portions of his
talks at other points lately.
In order to keep his engagement in Mon
tana Governor Roosevelt's train will con-
tinue it's journey on Sunday, but there will
positively be no speech making. Not only
will there be no speaking, but the train
will not be allowed to pass through any
village during the hour in which religious
services are in progress.
AT Valley City to-day Governor Roose-
welt said in part:
I'VE have the right to appeal to all men
who are indeed men, who are indeed Amer
leans. to uphold the policy that tells for for
threshold of a new century. We begin
that century as one of the greatest OF the
nations of the world, standing In the fore
front among the great nations. What you
men of the West have done as INDIVIDUALS
the Nation must do as nation. Only in
that way can each of US maintain the right
We now have to hold up our heads with
pride because of the deeds that have been
done by Americans in the past Each gen.
GRAFTON has its allotted task and according
to the way in which each generation does
or does not perform the task will the next
generation have cause for pride or shame"
