campaign band Joined In the greeting OF

chairman, introduced Senator Depew.
Senator Depew spoke In part as follows:
How wonderful Is the contrast In con-
ditions now and those existing forty years
ago, when first spoke In Concordia Hall.

and the Ministers OF Queen Victoria on
the other were trying to decide how America

no nation dare do anything with another
without first counselling with the United
States. Has luck or accident brought this

Eighty-ffth street and Lexington avenue,
where the Republicans Of the Thirtieth As |
sembly district were gathered 1000 strong. |
After referring to the changes Of policy |
since the civil war. Mr.. Depew said:
1T reminds me Of an epitaph on a tomb |
stone up in the Peekskill cemetery. which |
reads as follows:
Here lies John Brown.
He took p patent T Medicine to do better.
And here he lies.

avenue and I25th street. These meetings
were arranged primarily, by. the support
Congress from the Sixteenth district, in
opposition to the present incumbent, Jacob

Depew, however, confined his talk chiefly

Roosevelts action has been accorded world
wide approval. Roosevelt made the canal
possible, but II Parker had been in the
Presidential chair the canal would never
have been started. Parker Is good iurist,
a good Judge. but he is not Of Presidential
