oyster Bay, l.. L.. July 27.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt today formally opened
the political campaign of 1904 at his
beautiful country home. Sycamore

by the associations of life time. sur

of the United States.

THE SPEECH OF NOTIFICATION.

lie spoke as 1OllOWS-
Mr.. President: The. people of the
United States, by blood, heredity, edu-
cation and practice are a self-govern-
ing people. We have sometimes been
subject TO prejuulce and embarfaSS-
ment from harmful conditions, but
we have outgrown prejudice and over
come conditions as rapidly as pos
Sible having due regard to law and
the rights of individuals. We have
sometimes made mistakes from a
false sense of security or from de-
sire to change policies instead of let
| ting well enough alone, merely TO see
what would happen, but we have al
ways paid the penalty of unwise ac-
ton at the ballot box and endured the
suffering until under the law through
the ballot box, we have returned to
correct polices. Tested by experience
| no nation has so successfully solved
all problems and chosen proper poll
cies as our nation.
THE Republican party stands for
! protection. 1t stands for the gold
standard and our currency system. All
these dwell in legislation enacted un-
der the Lead of the Republican party
| and against the most determined op-
position of the Democratic party, in
| lcludng its leader and candidate.
| These being our policies, and having
been most useful to the country, we
| l.
| it be necessary from time to time that
they should be strengthened here and
controlled there, the Republican
party stands ready, with loving, COM
petent hands, to apply the proper
remedy. | say remedy Being our
policies, we will not willingly subject
them to their enemies for slow star
vation on the one hand or to sudden
destruction on the other.
The Mckinley Period.
"Since the Republican party was
restored to power, in 1897. under the
lead of Mckinley our country has
prospered in production and in com
merce as it has never prospered be-
fore. In wealth we stand first among
all the nations. Under the lead of
William Mckinley the war with Spain
was speedily brought to a successful
conclusion. Under the treaty of peace
and our action, Cuba is free, and un-
der guarantees written in her con-
stitution and our legislation, it is as
sured that she will ever remain nee.
We also acquired Porto Rico, Guam
and the Philippines, by treaty the
ratification of which was only pos
Sible by the votes of Democratic Sen
ators. Civil government has becn es-
tablished in Porto Rico. and we are
journeying towards civil government
lin the Philippines as rapidly as the
people of the archipelago are able to
receive it; and this, too, notwith
standing the false cry of imperial
ism raised by the Democratic party
and still insisted upon, which led to
insurrection in the Philippines and
tends to lead to further insurrection
there. The record Of the Republican
parry under the lead of William Nc
kinley has passed into history. Who
dares asSail it?

troyers and fortysix torpedo
boats. Japan can oppose almost
this entire feet to the Russian
vessels. The japanese navy
has the advantage OF being more
modern than Russia's; her Oldest
battleship has been afoat but
seven years. On the whole her
vessels are svifter, and possess
better armaments and better
protective armor. Furthermore
Japan has the great advantage
Of being near a place where dam
aged vessels can be repaired.
And, too there is the immense
advantage, possessed alike by
Japan's navy and army, Of being
near the base Of supplies.
Thus it is seen that, in present
fighting strength, Japan can be
considered to Russia. It is ex-
tremely probable, that the first
victories will go to Japan. But
the first victories will not decide
the conflict. If Japan should
overwhelm the 100000 Russian
troops now, and soon to be, IN
the Far East-well, Russia has
sixteen more armies of this size
that she could send one by one
into Manchuria and Korea. In
view of Russia's vast men re-
sources, and in view of the high
organization of Japan's forces
and the great advantages she
possesses from being near the
base Of supplies, it is impossible
to predict with which eventual
victory will rest. Only one pre-
diction is safe: The war, in case
there is a long one, will be the
fercestthe world has seen since
the great conflict between the
North and the South.-The

A LESSON FOR CURRENT THOUGHT.
The Fighting Strength O. Russia and Japan,

The Fighting Strength O. Russia and Japan.
With Japan and Russia drawn
up facing each other, tense, alert,
ready to throw themselves each
upon the other the instant war
was declared, much interest at
taches itself to the comparative
strength of the probable combat
ants. For in war ';to the strong
is the battle;;" and now, even be-
fore a gun was fired, we are all
wondering which nation will
emerge victorious from the
threatened conflict.
Russia is, of course, strongest
in numbers. In time Of peace
her army numbers 100000 men
with 3, 400 guns, and in time Of
war 3, ago, 0O0men. But this vast
force would not be available fer
service against Japan. It is es-
timated that the Russian force in
the Far Eastis now $50, ,000., Mil
itary experts express the belief
that hardly more than $4,000 ad-
ditional soldiers can be maintain
ed there owing to the difficulty
of forwarding supplies over the
single-t track Trans-Siberian road.
And from this probable maxi
mum of 200, 900 men there must
be deducted a sufficient force to
guard the railroad, which must
be kept open at all cost, since it
affords the Eastern force its only
direct connection with its base of
supplies. Japan could hardly
strike a more effective blow at
Russia than to destroy portions
of the Trans ns-Siberian track.

of the Trans Siberian track.
JAPAN's STRENGTH.
Japan's total land strength is
not more than an eighth of that
of Russia-in round numbers
45o, 900 men and 1900 guns. The
regular army is composed OF l9o-
900 men, witha reserve of IS, 900.
This regular and reserve force
could be thrown Immediately
into Korea and Manchuria.
Since the available land forces
of the two nations are numerical
the same, the question of the
comparative strength Of the two
armies resolves itself into the
question of the comparative quail
ity of the Russian and japanese
soldiery. This last is not a ques-
ton easily settled. In the opin-
ion of American officers who ob,
served the two armies in the ex-
pedition to relieve Pekin in
1900 the japanese are the better
soldiers. This is not saying that
Russia's troops are of a low
standard, for Major Craighill, in
his report on the Russian army
in Fort China, stated that Gas
observed on the march, on guard
duty, the discipline of their IN
fantry seemed to be up to the
excellent standard which it has
the reputation of maintaining. "
Il is saying, rather, that Japan's
army is marvelously we'll organ
lied.
TRIBUTE TO JAPANESE ARMY.
In his book, "The Russian Ad-
vance, in which he reveals him
self very much of a Russophile,
Senator Beveridge pays this trl-
butte to the japanese army "lt
is a perfect machine, built on the
German model, but perfected at
minute points and in exquisite
detail with the peculiar ability
of the japanese for diminutive
accuracy and completeness. The
japanese army $
built like watch, and each Jap
anese soldier is part Of this ma
chine, like a screw or spring or
disk, with this exception-every
soldier is capable of being trans
formed into another part Of this
simple yet complex mechanism" !"
And of the soldiers he says:
Everywhere on all hands and by
all nations, you will hear the
praise of japanese gallantry
sounded loud and high even by
their worst enemies, and book
full of stories can be picked up
illustrative Of their daring and
even of their chivalry.''
The Russian navy consists of
eighteen battleships, FIVE armor-
ed cruisers, nineteen cruisers,
seven torpedo gunboats, twenty
six destroyers, ffty-three torpe-
do boats and two submarine tor
pedo boats. All of these vessels,
of course, are not available for
service in the Far East. The
feet that Japan will have to meet
is made up of eight battleships,
FIVE armored cruisers, eight pro
tected cruisers and several des-
troyers and torpedo boats. ia

battleships, six armored cruisers,
