apparatus out Of the aisle.
Then Governor Roosevelt began mis-
speech in a full, clear voice.
Governor Roosevelt said: President
Mckinley was triumphantly elected on
certain distinct pledges, and these pledges
have been made more than good. We Were
then in a condition OF Industrial paralysis.
The capitalist was plunged in ruin and
disaster, the wage-worker Was on the edge
of actual want: the success of our oopo-

aggravation of the actual physical dis
tTeSs, but also a stain on the nations
honor so deep that more than one genera
ton would have to pass before it would
be effectualy wiped out.
-Four years ago the nation was uneasy
because right at our doors an American
island lay writhing in awful agony under
the curse of worse than medieval tyranny.
We had our arena at our very doors, for
the situation in Cuba had grown into ter

audience en- rapport with him. for he was
given the closest attention by the vast
audience

party in November meant peace in the

out for them as if by Providence.
The closing words of the Governor
brought another demonstra ton. and for
a minute it seemed that the convention
would so mad and then and there make
two nominations instead of one. Plumes

As the Governor left the platform he
waved a salutation to the moving thfohss'
