cessity of Preserving. the Spirit
of American Brother
hood.


dent Roosevelt is the guest Of Hon.
John Hay, secretary of state, whose
summer home is located few miles
from here along the shores of Lake
Sunapee. The secretary and his daugh-
tiers met the president upon his arrival
and Joined with the assembage in ex-
tending him hearty welcome. The
president delivered brief address to
the townspeople, in which he thanked
the people for their greeting. He then
entered Secretary Hays launch Nomau
and steamed away to The Fells.
New Hampshire's arms were open in
readiness to receive the president.
Long before he was awake a commit
| tee representing the governor boarded
! the train. The welcome they extended
to him on behalf Of the state was mag
nified later in the day in the smaller
towns through which the train passed
and at Nashua, Manchester, The Weirs
and Concord, although the day was re-
plete with the miscarriage Of arrange
ments.
At The Weirs, where the Grand Ar
my reunion was being held, the people
in the excess of their desire to give the
president fitting reception came near
causing crush which might have re-
suited disastrously. AS 1t was the
president was for time III the midst
Of bowling, surging mass and was
all but carried off his feet. So made
quate We're the police arrangements
that the crowd had entire control of
the situation, and much relief was eX
pressed when the president after view
ing the veterans was escorted into the
hotel for luncheon. And here again the
carefully laid plans for his entertain
ment went astray.
Luncheon was finally served through
the gallantry of the governors staff.
who turned in and acted as walters.
The presidents speech at the park,
where the veterans were gathered, was
most favorably received. He stood OF
table at the extreme end of the plat
form, and his athletic figure made him
strikingly conspicuous. As in the case
of Bangor he admonished his hearers
to remain still and not to shove. A
great crush occurred at Concord as the
train was pulling out. and for time
it was feared people would be hurt.
The presidents address to the G. A.
r. at The Weirs was in part as fol
lows:
Anv American who has nronnr sense
of the relative uronortion of things must
realize that to the men who fought for
tbn Union in tho dark days IF the civil
war there is owing a greoter dcbt of orat
itude than to any otbers Great were ;tha
