THAExservrEe PROCLAMATION
President Theodore Roosevelt Issues
His First Holiday Proclamation
to the American People.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2-PreS-
ident Roosevelt to-day issued his tiDt
Thanksgiving PROCLAMATION, as fol-
lows;
o the -rreAasas q the rri,ed States Of
America.
A Proclamation; The season is.
nigh when, according to the time
ballowed custom OF our people, the
President appoints a day as 1.-THE special
occasion orpraise and Thanksgiving to
IGod.
This thanksgiving finds the people
lstin bowed with sorrow for the death
lof a great and good President We
mourn President McKinly because we
50 loved and honored him; and the
manner OF his death should awaken In
the breasts OF our c~ountrymen a keen
anxiety for country, and at the same
time a resolute purpose not TO be
driven by any calamity from the path
lof strong, orderly, popular liberty,
which as a nation, we have thus far
safely trod. Yet, in spite Of this
great disaster, it is nevertheless true
that no people on earth have such
abundant cause for Thanksgiving as
we have. The past year in particular
has been one Of peace and plenty. We
have prospered In things material, and
have been able to work for our own
uplifting in things intellectual and
spiritual.
Let us remember that, as much has
been given US, much will be
expected from rs; and that true hom-
are comes from the heart as well as
from the lips and shows itself in deeds.
We can best prove our thankfulness
t. the Almighty by the way In which,
on this earth and at this time, each OF
us does his duty to his fellow men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President OF the United States,
do hereby designate as a day OF thanks
giving, Thursday, the 2sth day OF this
present November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the people
cease from their wonted occupations
and at their several homes and places
of worship %reYerently thank the giyer
Of all good for countless blessings Of
our national life. In witness whereof
/ have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington this
second day Of November, in the year
OF our Lord, one thousand nine hun
bred and one, and Of the independence
Of the United States, the n hundred
and tw~enty-sixth.
BY the President,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

METHOD IN HIS MADNESS.

aAA4
rFor his speech, with ingenuity that
is rare, he selects the Kingdom of Cal
laway, where ! got my wife,and which
was added by the last Legislature to
the district which / have the honor 10
represent, but in which | am a COM
parative stranger.
Clearly, there is method in the
madness Of my friend, the Governor
According to my eloquent and
aspiring friend, the head and front Of
my offending is that be fears, or con
cludes, or cOnjures up visions 20 the
effect, that ! want TO go back 70
Congress and the S~enate-whieh he
declares Is an abnormal appetite, and
against which he solemnly and feel.
ingly appeals TO the people.
81 submit that II the Democrats Of
the Ninth District-Old or new-are
willing for me TO run for both Con.
greSs and Senate, 1t is the business Of
nobody else. l am perfectly willing
10 submit that question 10 the Dem.
ocrats Of the Ninth District-old OF
new.
GOVERNOR STONES FLANK MOVE.
nThe Governors invasion Of Gala
way was a flank movement. II is the
new territory in the new Ninth. He
has old appointees there. He hopes to
arraign that county against me on the
ground Of my undue appetite, and
then set up the cry that there is oppO-
sltion TO me in my own district.
"But / have no fears Of Callawegians
and would as cheerfully risk TO them
my political life as ! would the lives
OF my wife and babies.
"The Governors wall about my run
ming both for Congress and the Senate
goes further than appears OF the sur
face. IL Is an effort 10 bar the entire
Missouri delegation in the House from
aspiring TO the Senate.
"If be can do that he has accom-
plished much 10 help himself into the
Senate, for the Missouri delegation is
the ablest in Congress. ! glory in the
splendid record Of that great delega-
ton, and ! here and now enter my
solemn protest against It's being barred
from any honor for the benefit Of Gov
ern0r Stone or any other aspiring
statesman.
CLARK CITES PRBCEDKHrS.
Let's see II there is anything I'M
preoedented or wrong about a mans
wanting 10 run for both Congressman
and Senator.
That's precisely what Jas. stephen
Green did In 1856, aud what's more, he
was elected both Congressman and
Senator. ! most cbeerfully commend
that precedent 10 both the Governor
and the people.
james S. Green was a yeritable
Titan-a man who shed imperishable
luster upon Missouri and America.
Surely what he did was not evidence
Of an unconscionable appetite.
Set me stir up the Governors
mind with another mlustrious exam
pie.
