"Uncle joe" at Opening of the Cam

BURLINGTON, VT, Aug. 1O-The
Republican campaign was formally
opened in Vermont this afternoon with
an open-air rally in City Hall Park
with Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of ILL.,
nois as the principal speaker. Congress-
man Charles z. Littlefield of Maine and
United States Senators Redfield Proctor
and w. r. Dillingham; of Vermont also
made speeches.
Speaker Cannon referring to Judge
Parker's telegram to the Democratic
convention announcing his position or
the money question said:
1T was Judge Parker's only chance
He sent that telegram because he was
between the devil and the deep sea-
He characterized a New York news
paper as the devil' and the Bryan
wing of the Democratic party as 1.-The
deep sea-"
Judge Parker, said the Speaker
had to send that telegram to satisfy
his New York friends. If he had not
done so he would have offended them
whereas. on the other hand, the sending
of it offended the Bryan wing"
Referring to Candidates Roosevelt
and Parker. Cannon said:
The voters of the country can choose
between two men, one who has stood
by the policy of the Republican
party from first to last, voting for and
commencing all the measures by which
it has grown to greatness and power;
the other who has been an advocate ot
the Republican system of protection
who is unsound in his views on money
and who voted for Bryan"

To none was opportunity denied. Out of 1t
all grew such unity encourages lovers OF
liberty and OF pure government everywhere.
We enter upon this campaign with the
strength which grows out Of the union OF a
mighty party: with the enthusiasm born OF
truth. with the courage that emanates from
a righteous cause, with the confidence of men
animated by noble purposes and lofty patriot
ism.
The principles OF Democracy are grounded in
eternal truth. As formulated by the father
OF Democracy they are not for a day, but for
all time and are as applicable in this hour
as when he proclaimed them in his first in
augliral address, which has become a classic.
The necessity OF putting them into practice
is as pressing it then. To once

tion is the pleasant but arduous task assigned
