GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
AT ST. PAUL.
Vice Presidential Nominee Opens the
CampaiGn-Gives Vigorous Notice to
the Democrats that They Must Come
Out Into the Open and Fight.


Theodore Roosevelt ofIiciated at st.
PAU il the opening of the Republican ma
tional campaign. The ceremony was at
tuned to The Star-Spangled Banner
and America" and by way of further
emphasis on the kind OF fight that Is com
ing, Gov Roosevelt said at the outset;
Il come to speak 10 you, not as lie
publican to Republicans, but rs an
American to Americans
The Republican National Leagues hi
ennial national convention furnished the
occasion. Eager, aggressive yoang Re
pubiisens with enough old ones to icayen
the lump with age. conservatism and Wis
dom, were in attendance from every cor
ner of the country to tell the Vice-presi-
dental candidate what their respective
sections would do for the ticket.
Col George Stone of California, presi-
dent of the league, promised him Pa
cite coast solid for exI 1nsion. Mime
sofa, now in the hands OF an admlnstra
tion half Populist and half Democratic,
never has cast anything but Republi-
can electoral vote, and Senators Davis
and Nelson have promised that it shall
live up 10 its record. Nebraskans and
Kansans brought word of a turning
among prairie folk from the will-o'- he
wisp teaching of Democracy's leader, and
so it was from all States where Republi
canism ever did have q chance.
Gov. Roosevelt gave them in exchange
the plan of campaign and few sample
charges of ammunition. Democrats who
heard and will read what he said must
know that they cannot evade discussion
of their financial vagaries by pretending
TO subordinate them to other is es, and
that they cannot unchallenged fight the
American policy of expansion under the
name of imperialism Aggressive, of
fensive fighting, not defensive parleying
all along the line of the Kansas City
platfolu, is Gov. Roosevelt's promise to
them. Whether they try to debase the
dollar or to disgrace the flag" he says,
they must fight in the open and unmask-
ed"
The Introduction of Ro0se cit in the
big auditorium by Senator Davis was the
signal for prolonged applause. Proposals
for three cheers for Roosevelt" came
from different parts of the hall. and all
were met with instant approval. while
cries of You're all right, Teddy" made
the Governor bow again and again. The
Governor then began his speech, which
was in part us follows
