men and women crowded the Coliseum here
tonight to hear the address of President
Roosevelt. At least two-thirds of the audi
ence were workingmen, and the enthusiasm
manifested by them when the President
alluded to the rights Of the toilers aroused
the keenest interest. Again and again dur
ing his PREDATORY remarks, which were
based on incident Of the afternOon-the
presentation of floral horseshoe by the
workingmen-the President was interrupted
by vociferous applause. Such side remarks
as the following: Il do not care how honest
a man may be, if he is timid he is no good"
evoked prolonged laughter
President Roosevelt was introduced to the
audience in the Coliseum by Col. Jacob L.
Green. Through Senator Platt he rendered
his thanks to the State for the splendid
reception accorded him, and TO Mayor Sui
livan he made his thanks TO the people Of
Hartford. Then, turning to the audience,
he said:
Before beginning the speech that I had
intended and still intend to make to you
tonight / wish TO allude TO an incident
that happened this afternoon which struck
me as more important than what l have TO
say TO you. On being driven around your
beautiful city l was taken through Pope
Park and stopped at a platform where l
was presented with a great horseshoe of
flowers, the gift of the workingmen of
Hartford loud applausel to the President of
the United States [Applause.l L listened to
an admirable address by Father Sullivan.
Now, in his speech, he was kind enough to
allude to me personally, but he laid pri-
mary stress, as he ought to lay it, upon the
fact that ii was a gift from the wage
workers, upon whom ultimately this gov
ernment depends, and he coupled the words
/ of greeting with certain sentences in which
| he expressed his belief that l would do all
